a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

    I think the 1% rule is true of large communities, but less so with small ones. It takes effort to find and join Lemmy, Mastodon and others, and use them, so only the most enthusiastic join at first. As it grows, the 1% rule will be even more apparent.

      I don’t understand why people say it takes effort to join lemmy/mastodon. The signup here was easier than Instagram or Twitter.

        Can you sign up via the app now? When I started I downloaded jerboa, but then had to go the browser to create an account, which isn’t super smooth.
