I am notoriously bad at posting. No, really. Like Really, REALLY bad I mean! :-P
So I try to help the Fediverse grow by commenting. Probably WAY too much. Like not every hour, but definitely multiple times a day.
How about you - what do you feel is appropriate for your situation? Would you like to see more content, or less, or is this just the right amount?
You must log in or register to comment.
Posting, fairly rarely since I don’t tend to think of something that I believe merits taking up space in someone’s feed. Typically, it’s going to be a music based post just because music communities tend to be more viable for posting stuff that one person likes without it bothering anyone that doesn’t.
Commenting though? By default, anyone posting is okay with receiving comments. And, since I can pick only stuff that is either open for joking, or where the poster is wanting input of some kind, it’s essentially a guarantee that any on topic response is okay.
In other words, it’s easier to stay relevant in comments than posts, and I prefer to stay topical most of the time
That’s a really good perspective that comments may be inherently more “welcomed” than posts. At least I do feel exposed to less toxic responses whenever I comment as opposed to post.
I post when I feel I have something interesting enough to share, and comment when I feel I can add to the discussion. The latter happens far more often.
When I was on Reddit, I rarely commented because it seemed like anything I said was drowned out unless I was in a very niche sub. But here I comment several times a day and it feels more like I’m having conversations with people. I tried posting more and even started a couple of communities when I first joined, but after about 6 months I found out that I just don’t have the time to manage anything like that and I usually don’t have anything meaningful I want to post. But I’ve definitely been commenting more than I ever did on Reddit and I’m a lot happier here because of it.
I don’t feel like a community needs a post every single day, but yeah we definitely had high hopes after the Rexodus. It takes a whole entire community of people though to populate a “community” here, and anyway besides that it sounds like you found a nice middle-ground way to enjoy the Fediverse so that’s awesome:-).
For me, I feel more welcomed to comment knowing that people won’t (as often) bite my head off for having done so. Like sheesh, i’M sOrRy ThAt mY vErY eXiStEnCe OfFeNdS yOU - imagine people trying to have conversations on a social media platform, whatever will people think up next?! :-P
I mostly reply or just lurk, I don’t actually post anything very often. I wouldn’t object to more content, though
I haven’t posted on here, and that’s unlikely to change any time soon.
I comment in spurts: nothing at all for a few days, then several in a single day when topics pique my interest.
I’d like to see more content, particularly in the communities that I follow.
I don’t usually post much and comment a lot but recently I started posting a comic I like every day.
I post anytime I see something new that I think people will be interested in - those are often enough of a non-sequitur that I just stick it in lemmy shitpost. But I’m not hunting for stuff so that’s a couple times a week on average.
I usually comment a handful of times per day. Just until the voice in my head says people are starting to groan when they see my username.
I comment quite a bit, by my own measure. I find conversations here on Lemmy meaningful and I can offer helpful knowledge where needed or a silly joke on shitpost threads.
Posting, I do it about once a week on average. I’m not a content farm but I occasionally am inspired.
Feel free to judge my profile.
I have made 3 post, don’t know if that’s good or bad.
That, I feel, is entirely up to you to decide:-).
Just here to meet my weekly quota. 😉
I rarely post because I don’t want to bore people, and I’m weirdly afraid of getting torn apart in the comments (don’t know why).
More often than I should.
