I'd also like to post more but worry that I'm being narcissistic...Not everyone likes my weirdly-tuned ukulele music.

That's what I've been trying to do myself. I'm really not an interactive kind of person on these online communities. I'm almost always a lurker, but I'm really trying to push myself to be more active, because I want an open-source and federated Reddit alternative (and ActivityPub in general) to succeed!

Here from reddit.

I'm trying to comment more often, but I have anxiety issues. Baby steps.

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!

Yes, for sure we need content, but it's not helping for all us Reddit refugees to start spamming crap. What's needed here is good content.

It will happen as all the new users get settled and comfortable. If Reddit is an example, there will always be fewer people who create posts than people commenting, and fewer people commenting than lurking. It's human nature.

Is there an iOS app?

I will never make content

roger that

I made a bunch of communities and subscribed to others on different instances, hope other people will post as well!

Is there a way for people to express interest in new communities, and for people to help set them up and circulate when it's there?

I know it doesn't exactly seem hard, but it's enough of a barrier for someone who's already feeling hesitant.
