I am notoriously bad at posting. No, really. Like Really, REALLY bad I mean! :-P
So I try to help the Fediverse grow by commenting. Probably WAY too much. Like not every hour, but definitely multiple times a day.
How about you - what do you feel is appropriate for your situation? Would you like to see more content, or less, or is this just the right amount?
When I was on Reddit, I rarely commented because it seemed like anything I said was drowned out unless I was in a very niche sub. But here I comment several times a day and it feels more like I’m having conversations with people. I tried posting more and even started a couple of communities when I first joined, but after about 6 months I found out that I just don’t have the time to manage anything like that and I usually don’t have anything meaningful I want to post. But I’ve definitely been commenting more than I ever did on Reddit and I’m a lot happier here because of it.
I don’t feel like a community needs a post every single day, but yeah we definitely had high hopes after the Rexodus. It takes a whole entire community of people though to populate a “community” here, and anyway besides that it sounds like you found a nice middle-ground way to enjoy the Fediverse so that’s awesome:-).
For me, I feel more welcomed to comment knowing that people won’t (as often) bite my head off for having done so. Like sheesh, i’M sOrRy ThAt mY vErY eXiStEnCe OfFeNdS yOU - imagine people trying to have conversations on a social media platform, whatever will people think up next?! :-P
