Can’t we just upvote?

But, I'm a lurker.
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
How is upvoting/downvoting not considered being active? :/
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.
I like trains.
I mean, I've had a Reddit account for 13-14 years, maybe even longer, as I was a lurker who bookmarked different subreddits, prior to making an account. In those years, I have commented maybe 5 times in total. So you dont get to tell me what to do, and I certainly won't be commenting on this post.
But if I comment then I'll break my 9 year record of being a lurker on social media!
Honestly the only thing that's holding me back from using Lemmy is that it not having a good app. I truly tried both Jerboa and Connect.
Jerboa for me crashes a lot and Connect doesn't have a good content separation guides.
But I will be sticking at lemmy for the long run anyway
This is not a strictly commercial network. Do we really need useless comments or posts just to increase some stats numbers? I'd think about quality contents instead.
I'm here... Even if I don't really understand how to use this platform - yet.
Whats the problem? Just find the communities you like and engage in them. You don't have to worry about instances and federation, you can ignore all that. You can see content and comment on other instances with your account the same way you can on your own instance.
