To be fair, even on Reddit, there were about 10000x more lurkers/commenters than there were posters.

Reddit just had a massive population, so there were more posters than you could reasonably keep track of.

While the fediverse/Lemmy has grown significantly, it is still pretty small in comparison to the daily active Users on Reddit at its height, shortly prior to the first great exedous.

I like talking about reddit in the past tense

Good for you the Picard maneuver

Reddit/Digg was a link aggregator, so the fact that this platform is often mostly memes shows how little we’re actually engaging with the web as a network of blogs/personal sites/news etc by now in this world of paywalls, blocking adverts, cookie preferences, and age verification. Do actually share cool stuff you find though.

Thank you for your service. 🫡

I was confused when I first joined and thought that they were a community not a user because of the amount of my feed they had

Really wouldn't have thought this was an AI image, but thanks for mentioning it. I hate when I'm like "fooled" into thinking an image was fully human authored.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 49 points 2 days ago (11 children)

honestly half the posts I upvote end up being from @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone, cheers friend - you consistently brighten my day 💚

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

We salute you, the 20, we thank you.
You owe us many hours.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Don't even sweet it.

These hours are covered by my employer while I take a colossal shit

As long as it’s the right people, I don’t really care. It’s about building community anyway, not consuming it.

Far better than Reddit. These are our heroes. I can scroll through once a day and get at least three quality entries with which to blast my friend chats in the face.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 24 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I think reddit once said 1% of people post 90% of the content. I wonder if its the same here :D

What I wouldn't give for a sort post and see who the top posters are of all time are.
