I have been a lurker of Reddit site from the 3rd Party app ‘Infinity for Reddit’ for more than a year. I always avoided signing up on the site as the main purpose was to consume interactively and not to interact.
Now that the site is killing all 3rd party apps, I’m doing my part by signing up here and increasing the activity on Lemmy to support the cause of federated social media; which to me is the future of the internet. It is free, without any ads/trackers and most importantly it is being expanded by users who want to involve in genuine conversations without the muddiness of paid/promoted contents.
It is my request to other lurkers to join lemmy instances and be the part of the process which defines the future.
Swapping to Lemmy a few weeks ago and cold-turkey dropping reddit made me realize that, while I had a reddit account for 11 years and like 100k karma, I was still largely a lurker. Or at least I never posted new content.
I’m trying much harder now days to participate instead of just voting!
Welcome!!
Doing the same as yourself. Long time lurker on RiF until yesterday, using liftoff for lemmy at the moment and rather enjoying it so far. Fuck spez.
