Honestly I've posted more to Lemmy in the last couple days than I have on Reddit in the last 8 years - it's easier because Lemmy feels like a smaller place... Like announcing yourself to a small room of people vs getting on a soapbox on a crowded main street.
Joining new communities like this is an amazing excuse to contribute more!
I am/was in the same boat as you, but for a new thing to skyrocket it needs interaction, and that's what we can do!
Lurkers don't make content, and that seems to be the only thing Lemmy is light on. The 'do something' crowd will be more visible after July 1 when their apps die.

A lemmy app? i found a post here that mentioned some, you seem to be on IOS, the post mentioned two IOS compatible clients
Memmy and Mlem
Mlem seems to be the more popular and complete one but currently both are on TestFlight,
i don't really know anything bout any of them tho, never used IOS before so i have no idea which one is better, it's probably better if you look into them yourself if you're interested

(you can find links to both of these clients and the most famous android client one too in this post)
