consider starting to post, if you where a lurker or commenter on reddit (feddit.de)

I never post much on reddit, I go there for entertainment etc.

When I came here in 2021 I saw the content drought and started posting links to stuff, mostly what I had found on reddit. I don't know if that's the best way to do it, but at least there is something to look at here.

Now the situation has gotten better, but I already see it slowing down a bit, or conversation mostly revolving around reddit and the API situation (or this post, lol).

Please consider posting random or interesting shit, memes, whatnot. Don't feel pressure about the quality of the posts, the voting system generally takes care of that and I think that there is no shame in posting something that doesn't take off.

Tl;dr: If nobody posts, nobody can comment or lurk

Definitely agree. I read a lot on Reddit, but don't comment much (and post almost never; that part may not change here, but who knows). I also have so many times when I've written out half a comment and then deleted it because there are already so many comments and someone's likely already said what I'm about to say anyway.

Also, being able to hide scores on here is nice! I don't even want to know if I've gotten upvotes or downvotes (and I like that downvotes are disabled on Beehaw) -- I tend towards shyness, and seeing a score next to what I've written just makes it sooo much harder for me to want to contribute.
