Struggling to get into Lemmy (self.lemmyworld)

Posing this on a whim since I tend to be a lurker on Reddit, but I am really struggling to get into Lemmy. Part of it is that I'm used to lurking but now we all have to put a little more work into not lurking in order to start to get the content we want, but also I have yet to find the sort of shitposting content I guess I'm looking for. Maybe that's for the best, not really sure. I'm sure I will get used to it if I commit, but I really need some more communities that'll really capture me

Sorry for the rambly post, really just putting this out there in a communal spirit

people get too eager making communities and then forget to actually post stuff in them.

Turns out quality OC is actually pretty hard to make, plus the numbers of lemmings is still pretty low, even after all the Reddit shit went down.

I've been trying to regularly post stuff to my @GirlGames community but it's a drip feed even during the busy days. I'm usually a "reply guy" sorta person so it's a bit of a struggle to force myself to post images/videos/links/etc.

I mean I guess I'm just as guilty but I've just always been more of a commenter. Maybe people just don't know the communities are there is the more likely problem? Should we put together a guide on popular instances and their communities - with the requirement being that any instance mentioned in the guide be mutually federated?
