Lurkers - what’s your story?
I comment a lot but seldom post. As stated a few times, I don’t feel I have much to contribute post-wise
I get that too. It’s a flaw of my character, I guess, that stems from past experience on other social media platforms I’ve used throughout my life.
But, I’ve been trying, but probably not as much as I could…
I want a time machine to go back in time to teach the crowd in the coliseum the 7 nation army chant so I can hear it being chanted while 2 gladiators go at it.
I AM - Thank you for your service! :-D
And now as thanks, a picture of a cat for no reason whatsoever - as is tradition!
Cats. Always appreciated.
Except by dogs I guess… :-D
Some dogs love cats too!
Yummy!? :-P
Wrong millennia … you want Egyptian history in aisle 18 … this is Rome you Barbarian
Oh… what about this one?
Nothing special man. I just like FOSS but I’m too lazy to make memes myself so I mostly lurk and comment
I just don’t have the time or interest to comment. I sure as heck can be bothered to follow up on replies.
I simply have very little to contribute.

Panem et circenses
Just don’t have a lot to say, or time to say it.
I’m lazy, and just here for the lulz
I see a lot of comments saying that people comment, but I’ll occasionally post videos when I see them come out, get zero responses, and will see the same video on Reddit with thousands of responses. These aren’t small communities either - the videos community on lemmy.world has thousands of subscribers, but few videos have any comments.
I don’t think it’s necessarily an issue with people not posting enough. I think there just aren’t enough people to sustain a social network with thousands of communities.
I post a bit too, but honestly posting a link is not that much of a stretch. Just try starting more discussions topic posts if you want people to join.
the disparity between posters and subscribers is larger than expected.
in the community i moderate, there are just 2 consistent posters (including myself) and about 3000 subs, of which a good 150 seem to be active in total. that’s 0.05 of the aggregate subscribers.
Same in my community (FullMoviesOnYoutube). Really not sure why, but I really appreciate the few others who are sharing posts.
For the glory of Rome
Why post if it coukd get deleted by some faceless bureaucratic nerds who think people should and do read “the rules” before posting. What I’ve been doing lately is to write the comment to get it out of my sysyem, and then press the back button.
Not lemmy’s fault, this is just what going to reddit does.
I am a serial lurker… ama
What’s the answer to life, the universe, everything?
Also, what’s your favourite colour?
Why not paralel?
Unfortunately I am not great at multitasking :-D
