Someone gave me a kick in the ass for saying the same thing a while back and urged me to 'be the change' on Lemmy. I've been commenting more and overall response has been neutral to positive.
But I did get a big asshole with reddit vibes screaming at me over a flippant comment/joke.
They're here but they might be a minority for now?
Either way I think, for now, it may be worth it to comment more and encourage others. I totally get not wanting to due what would happen on the other site half the time. But maybe uh... here's a poorly worded and thought out nudge to also 'be the change'.
(Apologies in advance for typos, flow, and grammar. I just woke up and I don't even know why I'm replying except I told that internet stranger I'd stop deleting my comments so much.)
One big issue with this is when you're getting into something new and don't have the knowledge yet and you just want to see other people's opinions on things, you can't really be the one to start that. I liked going to the subreddit for whatever game I was playing at that time and just absorbing other people's knowledge I didn't have yet. I can't really do the same on Lemmy outside of a few games or subjects.
You’d be amazed at how many Lemmy communities on here aren’t visibly active but still have an active community. If you’re new to a thing, go and ask a question on a community with little interaction. Sometimes people are listening but not talking and your post will get good engagement. It’s weird that way.
Don't forget making posts! Gotta make posts for the lurkers to comment on.
Party on, dude
