a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

    Yeah, in similar to you. In all honesty, I was also a little disappointed when I saw an interesting article posted on Reddit that I had an opinion on, but there were already thousands of comments. I always figured no one would ever get to mine, so there was no point in making one.

    I also wasn’t much for posting new content, but I’ve been trying to do that some here to help things grow.

      There was a trick to replying to an already popular post, which basically involved picking a comment where replies to that comment were still visible instead of buried behind a button.

      Then just keep your comment relevant and try to add something with it. And don’t be an asshole, or if you can’t manage that, at least try to be a popular kind of asshole, while keeping in mind that what is popular can vary from community to community.

        Yeah, I did that some, but I always felt weird posting a comment without checking to see if someone else already said it, and I wasn’t going to read 1000 comments.
