Honestly I love the Lemmy. I do check in every day, but I don’t often comment or post, I’ll admit it.
Then again I never really posted on Reddit either.
I tried Mastodon, I actively did, and I still lurk from time to time—logically it makes the most sense for me to use professionally—but there’s something I don’t just like about it. Probably that simply it isn’t my platform of choice—or maybe it is that I would technically need to use it professionally to replace FB and IG.
There’s so much social media fatigue. I just want to relax and goof around, doing it respectfully of course.
I sometimes have a twinge of guilt about it too. When I was younger and had more free time, I would spend time on actual submissions and not just comment. But I'm too old and tired for that shit these days.
Now I'm sure that the number of users is lower than a few months ago, but I wonder how many people are just lurking, never commenting/ posting.

Probably a lot, lurking is how I use both platforms. There's the 90-9-1% rule for a reason
Also, I imagine a lot of people created profiles on more than one instance while making the transition and then abandoned the others.
I originally started on lemmy.world but now just use fedit.uk…
Pretty heavy lurker here. Maybe I need to start doing my part and raise those numbers
