How do you use Lemmy well?

Hello, Reddit refugee here...I'm still wondering how to use Lemmy well, because it's not Reddit, but I keep on trying to use it like Reddit. So how do you use Lemmy well without being a lurker? And how are you unlearning your bad social media habits?

Thank you in advance

but honestly same feeling here of not knowing what to post

I asked a question in one of the food threads(?) Forums(?) Lemmy instances(?) About ingredients about a type of food I can only get when I drive several hours away. I felt like it was received and answered without the memes and better-than-you tonality, which I felt was just nice and welcoming.

Cute animals are an easy start! Maybe asking for some food recommendations or even just posting something you’ve made. The possibilities are endless! It’s not a popularity contest anyway. People will see it and go ”hmmm” and maybe drop a comment. As long as you’re within the community and BeeHaw’s rules, you’ll be fine c:
