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?

Honestly, I wish the lemmy apps were more geared to allow people to lurk rather than having everyone sign up to view content. I’m a lurker who shares posts with people outside of lemmy.
Which apps are you using? I use Liftoff and have four instances added that I regularly browse, but I’m only logged in to two (because I only have accounts on those two). I haven’t had problems browsing or sharing content on the instances I’m not logged into on this app and the links open in browsers just fine without a login wall for people I share with.
memmy and mlem
Initially opening the apps go to a sign in/login page.
Liftoff isnt on the App Store yet for iOS, so cant test.
I’m on Memmy and have never seen a login page through it. I do see the you’re not logged in warning on new communities on instances I’ve never been to before, but that is rarely the situation. I see more of that if I’m on the computer using the browser, but even that is getting less each time.
Ahhh, gotcha, I’m on Android and originally started with Jerboa before moving to Liftoff so I haven’t gotten to try those apps yet. Yeah, that is a weird user-experience design and I’d agree they should try to change that, allowing lurking and easy sharing is an overall more pro-user design that respects our choices to try a platform before giving more info to it.
You can see content without an account. Unless it’s NSFW, I guess.
Which apps are allowing you to view content without signing in?
Oh. I’m mainly using the browser for pretty much everything.
I think Memmy, an iOS client that released just today or yesterday, allows you to.
