At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

Because it is dawg.

Total users are like ballpark 1 million, and most don’t post much or at all – e.g the 1-9-90 rule.

By comparison Reddit and twitter are the most trafficed sites on the internet

Important concept when it comes to communities like Reddit and Lemmy, and something to keep in mind when talking about online marketing and propaganda.

A handful of posters, relatively speaking, essentially shape global consensus, and many know that, so plan accordingly.

I’m not usually an internet commentor, but I try to chip in on Lemmy sometimes. I think most people just treat it like the rest of social media today, where the smart idea is to just lurk

I guess it makes sense that the majority of the userbase is just lurkers
