After years of lurking it’s still hard to break the habit. But I’m really liking this fediverse and will push myself to become more engaged.

Finally I can speak instead of fearing bots and lurkers.
I'll wait and see how things go.
We are having a hard time now. Lots of issues due to the volume. We need to ramp up the server hardware.
Why hello I am literally just making this comment so more people see the post. My favourite thing about Fedi is how engagement works entirely different from proprietary social media. People make the Fediverse work, people being people make it such a lovely place!!
Been doing my part. Logged out of Reddit last night (will delete all data and then the account if no changes are made by the 29th). I wanna see lemmy get bigger and grow. Plus my favorite part of Reddit were the discussions and such, I want to see the same engagement here!
Yes! We want to read what you have to say!
I'm trying to create a community, but the 'create' button just turns into a spinning circle, and nothing happens. I've left that tab open for more than an hour.
So insteat, here's my first comment.
My experience is that when that happens, there is something wrong, but it seems like there is no proper error handling to tell you so it endlessly spins instead. Try giving it a different name or fill in a field you left empty (don't change the language one tho).
Even on lemmy.ml creating a community tends to not take too long. I made communities there because my own instance is country based and I don't want it to look local, but if you add your account on another server (for me the one I'm using now) as moderator you can moderate from there to not use up bandwidth from lemmy.ml.

Being new here I think I'll mostly lurk at first. But here goes my first comment anyways. Looking forward to a growing community.

Share stories, comment. Lurking doesn't generate content.
Just downloaded and installed Jerboa on my phone. This is me trying to do my part to help out a user-friendly Reddit replacement.
The best thing about Lemmy is that it's still so raw. There is so much potential for it to be turned into something really great. Then again, television was once like that, I suppose - so was the internet, now I think about it. Oh well, at least I'm not lurking.
Was mostly a reddit lurker, have tried to change that by hosting my own lemmy instance and actually get involved in something!
