I suspect much like reddit the ratio of link lurkers to commenters on HN is about 19:1 like reddit.

  I think that’s way too high (for commenter count). Lurkers are 90%, 10% have accounts, and 10% of those with accounts comment. This was the breakdown of some major subreddits maybe 6 years ago.

I did. It's fun and offers cute little things that I wouldn't pay for individually (a hassle) but use often enough to appreciate.

I didn't, omg lol is really not my style. Besides that, I already have a fun domain name that I use as an email alias. I pay $10 a yearly and it gets a laugh every time I give it to someone. Other than hosting a basic web page, the other features are not useful to me.

As per the founder's own post in Mastodon, 600+ sign-ups on account of the link in HN. (https://social.lol/@adam/109642813277235626 https://social.lol/@adam/109642813277235626)

I created an account and I consider shutting my own low traffic, personal homepage and blog. I think I belong to a sort of target demographic there. I also chose this to finally get a "start page" on the web with links to my social network profiles to find me. There are many others like it but they usually don't offer the same value and bonus feature sets at all. That it's $20/year is very little but also significantly raising the likelihood it'll stay around for years. The author is also intelligently creating relatively low maintenance but high value services so this actually looks workable in the long term.
