When "I gotta post on this" turns into "no one cares what I think" real quick. (I almost deleted this)
Or I don't know how to write what I want to say

Do it anyway. Lemmy will sink or swim based on interaction.
We need your comments!
Yeah I end up blathering away more now on Lemmy than I did on Reddit. Like some post over there with 1000 comments: 1, nobody's reading them all and 2, somebody already commented what I was going to say.
Oh come all ye lurkers.
Me?
UNCLE LEM NEEDS YOU!
Fuck it. Post it anyways, it is all fake internet points.
No karma in Lemmy. We can't keep track of internet points.
So that makes them extra fake.
My first post!
I feel like I'm going to post more aggressively here than Reddit because 1) this place needs content 2) you can actually be seen, even in popular posts which was not the case in Reddit 3) less echo chamber shit (I think)
Hey get out of my head.
I end up posting the comment and regretting it 5 minutes later, so I go back to delete it lol
The number of times I write a response and posting it just won't work is also too damn high
When sh.itdont.works
Just do it! I have a few doozies in my comment history but I think it was fun experience either way. Worst case you learn what sucks, best case you discover some cool new social interactions.

[Padme]: But you're going to reply to this comment, aren't you?
[Padme]: Aren't you?
stares intensely
It happens to me too often because I always believe people will shit on what I have to say. Gotta improve my confidence.
Not me, writing a response to this... then deleting it because it's not good enough 🙈
Same. I feel like it's either useless or oit of subject.
Regardless of the perceived merit of your post I think we would all just appreciate a little more participation here.
I'm precipitating!
I don't know, for me quality definitely wins out over quantity.
Hey, atleast I'm still upvote/downvoting
Thank you for using "number of" instead of incorrectly using amount as is the current trend.
I can’t claim too much credit, this meme is from the before times.

Non-native here, can you explain why?
I wouldn't worry about it much but "amount" should be used with uncountable nouns, "number" with countable nouns
Ah thanks!
It's kinda weird to me, but I guess it makes sense in the context of English having distinct words for countable and not
Amount is for things you cannot count. For example, an amount of water. If you can count it, use number of.
HOWEVER, English is not a dead language, so the definition of amount may just be changing.
And yet here we are.
Fire me it's half the time when a community requires a language and my preferred so doesn't support selecting one yet.
Happens all the t.... Ah nvm
