Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

@infyrin imo you're contributing to Lemmy just by being here, lurking is perfectly fine, you don't have to actively participate.
@LambLeeg
You say this, but people have the right to be lurkers if they want. No one is forced to keep a community going.
Moving one over here was fairly hard for this reason. I admittedly should be keeping it up still, but where realizing I had nine whole subscribers made me really happy (there are tens of us!), realizing nobody was ever going to make a move of any sort even to comment and that I was going to continue carrying this entire community by myself has made me very discouraged.
I know most people are content to lurk while they look for something that's interesting enough to post/interact with. I do that too. But come on, guys. Don't do me like this. Nobody goes online to sit and talk to themselves.
