    Yeah. I’ve tried to get outta my comfort zone and post more often. Sometimes I don’t have the energy and just btowse for days though.

    There are dozens of power users but I think there are some users that are encountered frequently in some places, particularly in communities that are local to the user. It would be neat to know if I have any notoriety at all. I’m easiest to spot on lemmy.ca communities if anywhere.

    I’ve noticed a handful of users become active, inactive and active again, whether it’s life stuff or whether they got temp banned. I won’t provide any examples because I don’t want to make this about someone’s personal life.

    This place never needs to be as big as reddit, just the fact there is a “stream” of users posting and commenting makes Lemmy feel alive. It was much quieter when I first joined (a few months prior to the creation of Lemmy.world), there might have 10-20 new posts a day on the whole site. I’m happy with it.

    I’ll have you know I’ve been to some pretty dank places on Lemmy, where 40 active users would be an improbable, and frankly questionable, validation. I’ve seen things.

      I’s exactly the same as you. Big Lurker. I exhuded much lurk energy.

      I think where we differed is i made an active decision to mod a community. And held myself accountable as if i have a responsibilty. Importantly i decided to be an active supporter and user of said community. I branch out a bit now, but my overwhelming set of activity is in the niches.

      It seemed possible, Lemmys small enough, and my niches are plenty small enough to not feel overstretched.

      As a Lemmy Worlder the perspective must be different though for you. I was talking to /u/Blaze@feddit.org about this a few weeks back, and he said it feels much more like reddit on the large lemmy instances. I imagine that must make it seem overwhelming? unnecessary? (You’d have to tell me), to think about modding communities as an avenue to getting actively involved.

      Same.

      Oftentimes I just can’t get into the topic being discussed or I don’t have a well thought out opinion, so I’d rather enjoy reading what others think.
      I wish there was more content here sometimes, but I’m not allowed to complain until I contribute more myself.

    This isn’t really different from other websites. And it’s more than 40 users, but yeah, it’s a small number.
