Anyone else feels that they're more active on Lemmy than they were on Reddit? (lemmy.world)

Maybe because we all want this to work out and be a thing.

The social anxiety is much less as the crowds are smaller so posting feels like it's being heard. Feels like I'm actually a part of a conversation

Edit: I forget which account is my main though so my comments are displaced. Which is probably good

I find I'm having the opposite problem with social anxiety. I feel like I'll be seen here and it's making it difficult to comment. Though since I just made my account last night and this is my first comment, I guess I'm being active much sooner. I didn't leave a comment on reddit for months after making an account...

Hi from another person that feels similar (joins discord server, never engages) you’re not alone

I find that so reassuring, thank you!

I think you will find that people here, at least with the current population, are pretty understanding, and I, for one, would love to hear your thoughts.

I finally made my way back into the Jerboa app instead of using my mobile browser, only to discover I had messages...Thank you. I've been trying to step out of my comfort zone and contribute. Your encouragement helps :)
