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!

That is the mentality that everyone should have

Same. I was a long time lurker on Reddit, but hardly posted. Even on alts. Now I'm trying to be more active and upvoting since that helps drive engagement or whatever.

I also want more open source in life, in general so I will be out here attempting to pause my introvertness for the cause.

Yeah same here, never felt comfortable posting on Reddit, but so far lemmy feels safe enough to get more involved with.
