First I need to understand how all this works. fedia, lemmy, mastadon, fediverse, etc. I don't really understand what it all is and how it works. Suggestions from one user to another from a different "place" don't translate. Someone told me to look at /all. Like, where is that? I don't see anything like that. It's all a confusing, jumbled mess. It's melting my brain and I don't know if I can stick around. I don't see any kind of notifications either, so if someone responds to me, I probably won't see it unless I remember where I posted and to go manually check.

I enjoy writing comments, but not so much making posts. Does this make me a "partial" lurker?
Some people make posts and other people make comments but there should be a balance between post and comments in the instance
I am bad at quality posts but better at comments. I'd say any way you can contribute is great. Communities require effort and reddit was as much about content from the comment section as it was the original posts.
My contributions are spamming upvotes and the occasional comment
Edit: I also occasionally indulge in downvoting posts / comments that have a lot of downvotes, even when I dont fully know what the conversation is about. Got a lot of downvotes? Have another
good point. For the first time ever I am now a mod - wish me luck. Re-introducing: /c/theyknew

Hello everyone! I must say that it's a bit confusing and all, especially finding new communities. But it seems like it has lots of opportunity!

I lurked on reddit but uh I'll make an attempt to post more
Me too!
This comment is my first contribution to the platform. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing yet, but I'll figure it out.
My worry is that I only started a year or so ago on that other platform, and most of my contributions are comments and some photos when I can get my garbage podunk internet to let me upload the latest smoked meat or garden haul. I don't think I'm a "laying the groundwork" type of user, honestly. If there are any guides or walkthrough on navigating instances and whatnot, I'm all eyes.
I already reeeeeally miss a couple wonderful communities. But I want the best versions of them here, if at all. I'd love to help expand this place.
I guess there could be worse first comments for an account.
ETA: spelling is hard.

It's a good mentality to have.
I kept looking for communities and not finding them, so I started making them. Then adding posts to those communities, and to my surprise people do come and upvote and comment.
