On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.

    Yeah, but I’m still doing it on purpose to help the community grow. Somebody’s gotta fill this place with content, and at the end of the day that’s our job.

    Normally I’m more of a commenter exclusively unless I need the services of a specific community. (video game question usually) But the Lemmy project has sent me digging for all the best youtube stuff I’ve seen in basically the past decade and then finding the community to shove it in.

        You should share the thing that you’re most terrified to share with others and i bet its not boring… for e.g… maybe you like to eat boogers… i am sure lots of people will be like… holy hell man… and they will be repulsed … but it won’t be boring. Then you could start a niche community of booger eaters and this community could share stories and recipes… and that sir or miss… is how you contribute instead of lurking.

    Same here, every post feels like I’m making a small contribution to a platform which I really want to succeed.

    definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?

    Me and my people are powered by spite. I am going to try and be more active to help everything along so that reddit may die.

    I had a Reddit account ~10y ago. I was only a lurker in the days before the exodus. This feels like a real community.

    Frist psot! /s

    I was on reddit for almost 15 years and i mostly just commented. I posted maybe 5 or 6 times at most. Been on lemmy for 2 days and im already at 3 (shitposts).
