At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

Commenting not so much, but posting is almost exclusively done by a regular few. Reddit was already like that, but Lemmy is infinitely smaller so it becomes obviously apparent.
I find it kind of creepy. And, ultimately, because of the legacy of things like power(mad) mods, disappointing. Excessive participation leads to possessiveness and all that
On the other hand, someone has to get the ball rolling so that other people join, it’s like being the first one on the dancefloor.
Power tripping is indeed bad, and should be reported on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Well I mean, be the change you want to see then, post more. Other than that, you really won’t find any online communities without the occasional power hungry mods, that’s just the sad reality that power corrupts.
