Can’t we just upvote?
I wanna give you a meaningless gold. Here, take it 🪙
Why does up/downvoting not count as active? Doesn’t make sense.
Nope—upvoting doesn’t add to the user count for whatever reason. Deleted comments do though!
But, I’m a lurker.
Not anymore. You just made a comment.
Dear lord, they got me out into the light. It burns!! :)
I’m lurking you lurkers.
Plot twist: All of the “bot accounts” were actually a huge influx of Reddit users who were lurking. By removing the accounts / defederating with their instances, we’ve sent them all back to Reddit, ensuring Reddit can pull through the mass exodus.
Nah lol, I’m an admin and could see all the email addresses they were using. Fake af
tbf disposable email services are a thing
But my email is a Fastmail masked email, it’s randomly generated l, so it might look fake as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hello
But I don’t waaaaaannaaaaa
I’m doing my part! 🔫👨🏼🚀 🐜
But what if I’m an introvert and like to lurk? Introverts unite! Separately! And in different places!

Lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users
You gotta post or comment!

How is upvoting/downvoting not considered being active? :/
This is my point exactly
Yeah, for a fair comparison the standard definition of “active user” is just viewing posts. Not sure why Lemmy sets the bar so high. Maybe they don’t care about vanity stats - besides mild curiosity, I couldn’t care less.
Posting or commenting seems more like “contributing users” and posts like this just encourage unhelpful noise.
But if I comment then I’ll break my 9 year record of being a lurker on social media!
Upvoting doesn’t count as activity?
But it’s scary
