What I don't get are the people who'd join new communities and just do nothing with them. Like, you're the lifeblood of said community, it's nothing unless you contribute to it. But they join them, see nothing or nobody and just abandon. It's annoying and sad. It's almost expectant that there must be things going on within the hour or it's just best forgotten.

And that's probably the only thing playing to Reddit's advantage right now. Even if most of the content is shallow and empty with nothing useful being said, there's always something running within minutes.

We don't really need the users who used Lemmy as just a brief spot because they wanted to feel good about going elsewhere, knowing that they'll succumb back to Reddit's shit and they'll be all defeatist again. Must be a masochistic thing.

@infyrin imo you're contributing to Lemmy just by being here, lurking is perfectly fine, you don't have to actively participate.
