Why do you lurk?
I used to be a lurker when on Reddit. I’d post here and there but mostly just kept to myself. It was because something as large as Reddit felt like shouting into the void.
On Lemmy, the communities are small, and so are the instances. Is it lack of something to say, anxiety, or you’re a bot? What’s up!
I find myself being way more active on Lemmy & Mastodon than on Reddit & Twitter.
It’s also great to have differing cultures. You could install something like Grammarly, which would help you as you type. Besides, most English speakers don’t do it correctly, either.
I’m introverted. People don’t believe it. My Psychiatrist says I’ve learned to adapt, and every one can appear as an extrovert in certain circumstances. It’s like being “in your element”.
I feel comfortable on Lemmy. I didn’t feel comfortable on Reddit. I had thought that others might be the same. I was a little surprised to see how many lurkers there are.
