Definitely, but I also maintain my own Lemmy instance and moderate !guildwars@lemmy.wtf. I also want Lemmy to succeed, so I am more inclined to engage than lurk, because the more activity, the more appealing Lemmy will look for newcomers, resulting in even more activity!

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
No karma (on Kbin it's hidden inside the profile page, so same deal), healthier interactions, mods seem to have less tolerance to bullshit, and smaller userbase on instances in comparison with Reddit's huge userbase. It's a win-win.

I comment more but post little. But I'm also on vacation so maybe I'll post more when I'm back home
Ooh I'm tryin
Lenmy feels very new to me and I'm glad to be away from the echo chamber that's Reddit. No more "who's cutting onions", "this is the way" and "sauce?". I'm done with it. Just done. Let's see what Lemmy had to offer. :)
This is the way. Lol just kidding, welcome to Lemmy my friend.

Absolutely, this feels less intimidating in a way. I've probably commented more here at the fediverse over the last few weeks then my whole time at Reddit
I feel this way too! I started out active on Reddit (like 11 years ago damn I’m old) but then it started to get so big I just didn’t feel comfortable posting anymore. It’s been an adjustment to actually participate here lol

The interactions feel more authentic here. Sometimes I would read a single comment chain where multiple people were talking about separate subjects and somehow still having a conversation. It made my head hurt.
I think you might be referring to bots. They are definitely being written and will become an increasing problem. I don't see a great solution to that.

I got banned for ‘ban evading’, so I’m glad to post again.
I had 2 accounts (one for school/comp Sci, one for everything else) I insulted a mod in a larger sub and got banned on account A. Forgot I was banned from it and commented on the sub it with account B. This was around winter/spring when they were testing new ban tools and got full ban on current/new accounts I make so I’ve been loving Lemmy so far.

Nope, since I left reddit I spend less time mindlessly looking at my phone. But I do enjoy lemmy in healthy doses.

I literally haven't posted anything on reddit since the blackout. All of my posting has been in the fediverse...
Just created this account, let's see.
I'm going to make an active effort to post stuff here, I used to just be a commenter on Reddit, time to branch out and try interacting with this place more. Should be fun.
Much more so! Reddit just felt so vast it all just felt so damn futile haha
I’m a more avid commenter but haven’t done a lot of posting yet. I also have two accounts for different instances and actually use them both unlike on Reddit where I had two and never used the alt.
For sure, similar to what others expressed to help with engagement/activity. The centralized for-profit platforms hold way too much power over my infotainment appetite.
Yes. I want to contribute to Lenny’s success if I can 😀
I would have commented 4 times in last many years on reddit. On Lemmy (across instances) I have already posted over 40 in the last few weeks.
