Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.
I don't think I'll ever create content, but I'm happy to try and comment on the stuff you guys create. Thats probably the most I'm capable of.
Why you gotta call me out like that? :D
Does commenting count as creating content? I always thought of the posts as the content, but maybe I’m thinking about it wrong

For all the lurkers out there, just comment something, nobody's gonna judge you.

Do comments count as content? If not, I think that percentage is a bit flawed, because I've read cool discussions here
1% content (posts), 9% comments, and 90% lurkers is how it's broken out
Part of the reason is internet commentators are so mean to each other, and many of us users don’t want to be judged by someone? (Although extreme echo chamber is also a bad thing)
I hardly ever posted on Reddit but I would comment about as much as here. I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world, so I'm posting a bit more.on the kbin.social NYC magazine (aka community). If you like or are interested in NYC, please visit and poat/comment!
@nyc (@nyc@kbin.social)
Finally, I'm a one percenter.
I've never created a subreddit but created a magazine here! Scoping for content to help build our new home. I just figure that if you ditched reddit you're kinda obligated to pitch in on the new space, idk.
Even if you don't create a magazine, just share something interesting once in a while?
It's Zipf's law, there's no reason to think Lemmy follows a different distribution.

And only 1% of the 1% contribute meaningful content.
first day here, and it's too early to predict in which direction this will take off. i am hoping to create and post content around day-to-day happenings.
I have created the Kia Community. As a owner of the car, it's been awesome to find other owners who can share their knowledge & advice on maintenance & driving the car. Invited others in!
A bit like free-to-plays, where only 1% of players spend money.
Mainly a lurker. Hoping the regional sports game-day threads take off here cause that was the majority of my posting.

I'm finally part of the 1%!
I tend not to post often but I like to comment.
My first idea was "uh, interesting - why not do a poll for that?"
And then I noticed that would end up in some kind of lurker-paradox🤔
