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

I’m the guy with access to a small corner of a big server. And just host for fun. Explore ideas.

Hopeful it brings some value to the community. I just created some of the communities I’m involved in and enjoy. Hopefully others do too.

My biggest concern, is cause I’m literally hosting this myself, not some big cloud server, someone’s gonna hack me 😥. And I don’t have a massive amount of knowledge to protect myself from that.
