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!
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.
