Another lurker here, but somehow it feels like it has been a lot easier to post on here compared to reddit. Hopefully Lemmy continues to have good discussion without devolving too much into reddit meme comment chains and the like.
So far people have been much nicer here. And besides, who cares if someone judges you or feels like you didn’t contribute anything, that’s their problem not yours!
First comment on Lemmy, I’ll try my best not to lurk! Really hoping to see this thrive.
I always mostly lurked on Reddit for years from fear of being judged, I struggle with anxiety and feel like I won’t contribute anything.

I feel you.
I am currently also just on reddit for lurking or searching things like “best maple-sirup which could be bought in germany”.
However, if my wife can move from france to germany because of our relationship, I can move from reddit to lemmy.

Even commenting and upvoting is something
