I'd say partway between participator and lurker. Sometimes I just don't really have a lot to say.

I would be really curious if this was the case prior to the advent of smartphones. Was the ratio the same on early USENET or BBS? It’s so much easier to lurk than participate from a smartphone keyboard.
The only 1% I will ever be a part of 😅
OK, I won't lie, I hear this all the time but I'm not convinced it's true.
Are there any real statistics on it which account for bit accounts? Like, if reddit claimed that 99% of its users don't make content, my immediate thought would be "how many users are real people and how many are bots?"
Apparently there's a lot of bots lol
Well, I've never posted (yet), but commented a few times. More than on reddit, certainly! But overall, I do think that rule is going to hold. It creeps up all over the place. At this stage, I think it is just human nature at work and, as such, almost inevitable.

On Reddit I just made a few comments and posts, mostly a lurker.
Here it's completely different, I have my own magazine, where I put the effort of making a post daily, and it actually feels better than lurking.
Definitely participator, but I have some ideas for contributing some day. I just don't want to share other stuff that's online, I'd rather share my research into a given topic and what conclusions I drew that might help people. I want to publish works here, not really other stuff on the internet.
Not sure if Lemmy is the place for that though, given how it's a link aggregator. People posted their works on Reddit so I'd say it's good enough to post stuff like that here
Lurker through and through
*lurk*
Reddit has spoiled me😭
I've always been a lurker on Reddit. But with Lemmy I'm trying to be as active as I can, with both posts and comments
The only reason I talk here is because I don't want Lemmy to die.
