I'm trying to comment more often, but I have anxiety issues. Baby steps.

It's a good mentality to have.

I kept looking for communities and not finding them, so I started making them. Then adding posts to those communities, and to my surprise people do come and upvote and comment.

I’m at least trying to comment more on posts. Breaking the lurker habit is hard.

I've already been enjoying posting to Lemmy/etc much more than I ever did Reddit.

Reddit always felt so set-in-stone and unchanging to the point that it made me feel like I arrived "late" to the party even though my first Reddit account was in I think 2015. Once somebody claimed a subreddit with an easy-to-remember name that was largely it, and if you disagreed with their moderating style you had to suck it up or make your own with a more obtuse name.

With Lemmy since everything's decentralized it feels much more... I guess open? If someone makes a !gamedev community that has iffy moderation issues or whatnot, I or someone else can also make a !gamedev comm on another instance without it being a problem at all.

I enjoy writing comments, but not so much making posts. Does this make me a "partial" lurker?

I will try to do this, Im a new user here since 10 minutes or so :)

Is there an iOS app?

I made a bunch of communities and subscribed to others on different instances, hope other people will post as well!
