Why do most people not post?
It seems like a lot of people don't post or at least don't post on smaller communities like obsidianmd@lemmy.world
You're viewing a single thread.
There's the 90/9/1 rule - out of every 100 people 1 provides content, 9 interact and the other 90 lurk.
I created and post in a community, worldwithoutus but even after it got above 100 it's usually just me posting.
Duh. I just realised I need to get to 200 before the second poster emerges.
@livus Lol yeah, it seems more people sit and maybe comment but there's just so much room for people to talk about the topic and even do there own posts but I guess most people just want to look at it and not interact.
@SamXavia I think this is something about the fediverse though - in the old, centralised media we were often relatively passively consuming content spoonfed to us by alorithms. Here in the fediverse, it pays to be more active in building and finding content.
It's a bit of an adjustment in mindset and we're all in various stages of that.
