I used to contribute, but I’ve mostly stopped even visiting Lemmy because of all the propaganda from places like Lemmy.ml. Totally killed my excitement for it.
Ok, I won’t lurk. I’ll post some comment.
all of the communities i follow are deathly silent, kinda hard to contribute when you have nothing worthwhile to post and nothing you can comment on
Yeah many communities I’m interested in have so little users and even less people who post/comment. Some are inactive for days
I just found out how to comment.
no because my opinions are not valued anywhere i go. I will be a lurker on the internet until the majority of humanity chooses kindness, open mindedness, empathy. I doubt i will see that happen. Honestly the internet was a mistake.
i ask, what is a lurker?
Someone who reads, bit does not post or comment. Someone who’s here, but doesn’t really participate.
Its ok not to participate though. Better be here than reddit.
good morning, people
Making assumptions there, bud.
Locks eyes irritability
Bla bla bla Linux bla bla bla
Bla bla Arch bla the way, bla bla bla… Bla bla bla bla!
Don’t forget the new socks that apparently come with it
hi
Talking to people is scary. :(
HELLO NOT LURKING WE JUST HAVE NOTHING USEFUL TO CONTRIBUTE THANKS
I DON’T LIKE POSTING MUCH BECAUSE I AM TRASH
You both should come join us in shitposting. One of us!
I’m so much better at commenting than posting. I have nothing interesting to post!
Same, but commenting is also a good way to contribute. Oh, uh, hi! o/ /lurks
Ok really dumb question (this was an issue for me with Reddit during the before time as well): I seem to only notice threads that have existed for a while, so I normally see something similar to what I would have said already posted as a comment. Should I be using Lemmy differently, to see younger threads?
Lemmy on its web interface has a sorting option called scaled sorting. Which allows to bring up rising threads that are a few hours old.
Note: not all mobile apps have integrated scaled sorting. So you need to do some investigation.
…and reading further in the comments says sort by new, but I’m already doing that lol
Well, I know this comment isn’t much, but I have to start somewhere, and at least now I cannot be accused of being a lurker!
