This is me not lurking

I'll post my puppy everyone likes puppies.

Definitely. Everyone on Lemmy at this time seems very reasonable as well and I am finding that the discussion is typically of a much higher quality than on Reddit, so for those who don't usually engage, try it, it's definitely worth a shot here.

Don't tell me what to do, I'll engage when I'm ready >:(

hol up

Alright... this marks the end of my lurking lifestyle then, I guess ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Using the jeroboa app rn and it's fairly intuitive.

I won't lie, if you look at my Reddit profile you'll see that I've commented more here in the last couple of days than probably the last 3 years on Reddit. The community just feels more welcome and I feel as if my comment will get read instead of being drowned out as it happens on Reddit.

Another lurker here. Been well over a decade and this is the first time I feel like contributing again. Really hope the fediverse catches on this time.

Made an account 22 hours ago, been lurking around here and there, finally decided to post my first comment after reading this post. I'd like to get more involved, just trying to find my footing first. Speaking of - what app(s) is everyone using? I'm on Android, and just logged into Jerboa. Decent UI, not a fan of the flashing screen during transitions. Any recommendations on other apps? Thanks.

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

You're right, I'll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my

Testing cross-instance posting from my own

Totally agree, we need to build for the long term. Engagement has power.

Hey people of the internet. So if I’m going to not lurk, and if I have a really weird sense of humour and am downright unfunny to most of my friends, where is my community here?

but i don't have anything to say

other than fuck spez of course

I saw Lemmy has already grown a lot over the weekend and I'm all for it getting bigger! To be honest I also feel a lot more motivated to actually post here instead of lurk.

And the community seems super nice so far!

Always a bad sign when one of the top comments is trying to compel users to engage.

Me not lurking

After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!

There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)

Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!

I couldn’t agree more!

In effort to try to add value to posting, I found a mobile app for iPhone. It’s clearly in beta. I’m not associated with them at all, and I hope they don’t mind me posting the results of my Brave search.

I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say

I try but I rarely post. I did seem to kinda revive the !beeandpuppycat@lemm.ee community so that's dope. I hope people keep posting there.

I think I've been more active on Lemmy in the past five days than I had been on reddit for the past 2 years.

Decentralization of social media is extremely enticing to me, and I really want this community to flourish, so I've been trying to make this into an active space.
