Struggling to get into Lemmy
Posing this on a whim since I tend to be a lurker on Reddit, but I am really struggling to get into Lemmy. Part of it is that I'm used to lurking but now we all have to put a little more work into not lurking in order to start to get the content we want, but also I have yet to find the sort of shitposting content I guess I'm looking for. Maybe that's for the best, not really sure. I'm sure I will get used to it if I commit, but I really need some more communities that'll really capture me
Sorry for the rambly post, really just putting this out there in a communal spirit

Eh, you do you. All the posts asking people not to lurk sounds like extroverted people telling introverted people "Just be social!". All they're doing is pushing people away.
If people cant do what the want to do, be who they want to be, they won't stay.
Lurkers are important too!
Lurkers are the best crew.
Many players make an orchestra. Not everyone is a soloist, and some are just hanging around for their moment to strike the gong.
A healthy community is going to have lurkers.
