On reddit I tracked a few subs with news and memes, but I didn't even have an account. On Lemmy I actually posted few articles and news. Being an active user is quite a challenge for me since I'm such an introvert. I have similar concerns to @frogfruit@discuss.online, and because I overthink too much, it takes too long to decide to publish anything. It's often much easier to simply upvote someone's opinion, which I mostly agree with, than to create a new reply. Plus I'm not a native English speaker: I'm constantly forward all my messages to google or deepl to make sure that they are grammatically correct. I know that it's important for growning community not only to have constanly fresh posts but also growing discussion underneath them. I try my best :)
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.
