    Former lurker checking in, trying to take this new start on Lemmy as a way to participate more and hopefully contribute a bit, I wonder how many will do the same coming from reddit.

      I am! Mostly lurked because by the time I got to threads they were already too popular and were flooded with hundreds of comments.

        This is what I love about Lemmy so far. I don’t open a thread and see the amount of comments that make me not want to add another comment. If I see thousands of comments, I’ll assume my joke or point has already been made and just lurk.

        Here, I feel like I can contribute and make these comments

      Same here, I like the Fediverse, so I try to contribute to it. With reddit it was more of a convenience and mindless thing

      I definitely am. Not a huge talker but I’m really trying to do my part here. It also helps that this community just feels a lot more welcoming.

      Me too. And in nuking ten years of reddit history I realised I had stopped posting over the years as it got so big it just wasn’t needed

      I’m with you there, it’s certainly worth it to try and post and comment more and ther is a much more relaxed positive vibe here.
