- Description
-
In the context of online communities, a lurker is someone who frequently reads discussions and consumes content but never posts or interacts. While not inherently negative, the term distinguishes passive observers from active participants in forums, Discord servers, or subreddits. Many platforms have a high percentage of lurkers who provide the 'silent' majority of the audience.
