Reddit is worse but they use puppet accounts so you can't easily tell.

Like the others said, the ratio of posters/lurkers on most social media sites is 10/90, and i think that lemmy is on the better, more active side of things. in a 30k community that means that you will see about 300 people commenting regularly, and 30 of them will be very active.
i also like the smaller scope here, fewer comments mean that my opinion will be engaged with more.
I rarely commented on reddit, because one little comment in a swarm of 2500 will not even be noticed. It's different here, and i wrote over 400 comments this year! i maxed out at about 100 on reddit because my comments wouldn't even be noticed most of the time if i didn't filter by new.
Yes. Don’t look at usernames.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
Welcome new member!
it's ironic coming from you, I literally recognize you
Not everything online needs an /s
There's one user that seems to be everywhere and it's probably the same user everyone is thinking of right now lol.
I'm also surprised I come across other "agents" on here more frequently than I would expect.
it's me me meee right?
Yeah, that guy's everywhere. Assuming we're thinking of the same person, which i think we are
I worked it out, they have ~6 comments/hour average over the last year. A lemmy legend.
I notice a lot of the same people in most of the popular posts. I guess it's because the quantity of people that usually comment vs voting or just reading post is pretty low, so you'll start to recognize them everywhere
It makes me wonder if people recognize me from other posts I comment on!
Hello! :D
I use both reddit and lemmy and for the most part, I'll see similar or the same articles shared/posted on both platforms. I don't mind, it actually makes me feel like one day Lemmy might grow enough to the point where I use reddit less and less.
using multiple platforms I see the same users from time to time but I never really cared about who's posting or commenting
I pop in every month or so. I'll see ya around!
See ya next month!
Ye, and I'm mostly fine with it (I just wish this place had more stuff that wasn't necessarily political, like "interests" type of stuff like comicbooks. We have some, and thankfully Linux is a big one, but I just wish there was more!)
I agree…
not a bot at least
It’s called a community. If Reddit doesn’t seem like this anymore, it’s because half those people are actually AI.
We're looking sat you PugJesus! 😎
Just trying to keep things alive until they're self-sustaining! I look forward to the day when I don't, uh, post every day.
I'm just here so I don't get fined.
Everyone on lemmy is a bot except you.
I'm a bot
I'm everywhere!
Yes. I've been posting to subs around here too. I like it cause everybody will probably see your post and you'll get engagement from real people. We also have common interests on here that things are pretty interesting.

I disagree. The interests communities get no attention at all. The only things that get on the homepage are political stuff, some technology and a bit dry memes.
I'm hoping that changes after the election, but likely won't slow down till February, and then maybe we won't see as much for 3 years.
This is literally why i don't browse "All". Politics galore
Well it is not hard to love pineapple 🍍😄
I can’t speak to Lemmy specifically but my Reddit years were ages 15-30. I think I got my fill of arguing on the internet then.
I write a lot of comments on Lemmy that I end up deleting before posting because I just don’t want the hassle of arguing with someone about it who is being deliberately obtuse or arguing in bad faith.
That’s not an indictment of Lemmy specifically, but I think my lack of interest in those arguments comes with age and I suspect my story isn’t unique, the demographics will line up for a lot of Lemmy users.
