- Yea that's definitely me

It's hard to engage with other posts when most of them are about Linux or American politics. Two things I don't really want to spent a lot of time engaging with.
Besides that it's mostly old memes which isn't worth commenting on.
Other niche communities I'm interested in are not that active. Even though I've posted in them Tue lack of engagement isn't a motivator.

No

I use mint btw

How do people think of stuff to post?
- You do a ritual to appease the Blood Gods, and beg to gain a fraction of their creativity for a moment in time.
  Or you post about beans and potash.

fine uhh heres something idk

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!

Why? Is Lemmy engagement decreasing or something?
- All I did was not open this for a few days and now this?

OH MY GOSH I’m so sorry let me correct myself

Ok, I won’t lurk. I’ll post some comment.

Bla bla bla Linux bla bla bla
- Bla bla Arch bla the way, bla bla bla... Bla bla bla bla!
  
  Bla bla bla Hyprland is a dyanamic tiling window manager that doesn't sacrifice on the looks blah blah.
  
  Don't forget the new socks that apparently come with it

omelette du fromage

Fine.

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

good morning, people
- Making assumptions there, bud.
  Locks eyes irritability

Yes sir

Talking to people is scary. :(

,

I just found out how to comment.

i ask, what is a lurker?
- Someone who reads, but 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.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurker

I'm doing my part, are you?

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

Guess I'll come out of the shadows on this one
- Fine.
- it was like a watershed moment when i realized opossums are just dumb and adorable and not scary at all but i never met an evil one
  
  It's always the ones you least expect

When I do I get banned

I have nothing to contribute.
Niche communities are still absent, so most of the time Lemmy is just political discussions and Linux memes.
Not interested in any of those
- Yeah, I wish there was a more concerted effort to move more communities.

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?
- You get more engagement on Lemmy than on Reddit, even if you don't comment in the first 3h. Probably due to sorting, probably due to lower numbers, but even the silliest comment will get at least a few reactions.
  You can really tell it's made by socialists who hate accumulation and want to give everyone a chance.
- 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

dont tell me what to do. you are not my real father!

Wow, I'll have you know I post a comment maybe once a month. Fine though, I'll be better and make my first post today.
Darn social media asking me to be responsible and contribute back. What do you think you are? Open source software?

I posted because of this post

hi

Some of us have nothing useful to contribute to society. Please don't shame us.

Just deleted my reddit account.

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.

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!

Peeks from under my rock

- Now this, I like

OK!

aaaaaaaaaa

Am not super chatty. Having said that, hello.

alright

I don't have a unique opinion to post if the thread isn't early enough. And the communities that I can provide expert opinions are basically deserted.

Sorting by new helps, so you don't feel like you're too late to be heard if you comment. Making posts, now that's extra tough.
- Much better than screaming into the void of the same stupid jokes and bots on reddit though right?
  
  Indeedly doodly
- I actually don't feel that way even on older posts that have already taken off. That's really nice about lemmy.
  
  Lemmy really is a pretty great place

stupid viewpoint that everybody hates

okay fine

- Diagnosis: cat
  Confidence: 80%

👋

Yeahhhhhhh, I struggle with that a bit because I feel like anything I have to say isn’t worth saying
- even just voting helps.
  
  Updoots and downdoots are chill, but combining letters is scary!
  
  Careful, you can get banned for voting "wrong" too
- Honestly same, even this replay I hesitated before sending.
- You should upload more of your photography stuff!
  
  That is something I’d love to do! I just haven’t gone out in a while to take any pictures.
- Look at this useless comment here smh
  /s ;-)
  
  my fears have come to fruition 😭😭😭

Ok

- notices your jug of oil
  UwU

Not sure what to post or comment.

lurks lurkishly

It's ok to be a lurker. Lurkers, I'm happy you're here with us.
- And we're here for you.
  
  Hey this user isn’t a lurker!! They’re a big fat phony!!!

But I like being a lurker 😟
- Too late, lurkers don't comment!
  
  Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
  
  You can't tell me what to do!
- I still remember this epic comment from @cm0002@lemmy.world. It's funny because cm0002 is like one of the most active posters I see around.
  
  I don't think making feud posts is contributing.
  
  Why do I too remember that post and the comment, huh, I might be spending a lot of time here
  
  They really upped their game!
