I’ve always been a comment contributor. I just do it here instead of that old alien site. Also wiped my stuff over there.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes. I want to contribute to Lenny’s success if I can 😀
For sure not just you. I noticed my first day too - especially on SDF, which is a much smaller instance. Somehow it feels more like being at a small party compared to being on a crowded subway.
I've posted 4 threads on Kbin which is, to my knowledge, more than I had posted on Reddit. So, yes indeed! The difference here is pretty much that you do not need to post at a specific time of the day to get any exposure at all in my experience.
Yep, this site has really chill vibes and it encourages posting
I'm doing my part!
Definitely, don't feel nearly as self conscious about posting with less activity
My posting activity has increased exponentially because I'm not instantly banned for literally anything I post. And I wasn't one to say needlessly hateful things but I guess a mod or admin didn't appreciate my irritation with them. This is more gooder.
Smaller communities, more intimate experiences, and overall, the people you'd see here are most likely who won't accept or allow what Reddit now stands for.
Yeah I started posting here too
Somewhat because I’m hoping to help build the community we want!
Oh man tell me about it. I have been commenting on posts that I find interesting all the time here. In Reddit, I was a lurker with maybe a few uploads and upvote/downvote per year. There’s something about lemmy, I guess it’s the potential to be a true community that excites me
Absolutely
I am defenitely more active here when posting, but, looking at my reddit-account it becomes clear I was an active commenter before I left.
I got banned for ‘ban evading’, so I’m glad to post again.
I had 2 accounts (one for school/comp Sci, one for everything else) I insulted a mod in a larger sub and got banned on account A. Forgot I was banned from it and commented on the sub it with account B. This was around winter/spring when they were testing new ban tools and got full ban on current/new accounts I make so I’ve been loving Lemmy so far.

Absolutely. It's too easy to get lost in large communities. Smaller communities let you get heard.
Seems like there's more reason to participate here. I may end up posting more, but several of my posts returned in error. Server issues, I assume, but frustrating when I'd have to rewrite everything.

this place is just way nicer than reddit, don't see as many arguments over nothing here
I've become a more avid lurker compared to a infrequent lurker on reddit
One of us, one of us!
I literally haven't posted anything on reddit since the blackout. All of my posting has been in the fediverse...
Yeah there was no real contributions worthwhile on Reddit on main subs. I was in a few smaller subs that would chat daily but nothing big.
Much more so! Reddit just felt so vast it all just felt so damn futile haha
Absolutely, this feels less intimidating in a way. I've probably commented more here at the fediverse over the last few weeks then my whole time at Reddit
I feel this way too! I started out active on Reddit (like 11 years ago damn I’m old) but then it started to get so big I just didn’t feel comfortable posting anymore. It’s been an adjustment to actually participate here lol

I'm hoping to get more active as the platforms stabalize and I learn how everything works.
I'm pretty confident that things are going to take off soon! Loving the conversion on this platform so far, also enjoying the randomness.
It will be nice to have some more definition and focus for some topics (this is also probably me just being a noob at this) but I'm not really in a rush to get there as the information is available elsewhere, but the current atmosphere with Lemmy feels very unique and special
