I’ll sometimes comment on stuff but overwhelmingly I don’t. I was the same way on reddit. I just feel that I don’t have anything meaningful to say so why say anything.
I find myself commenting a lot more here. It’s more conversational than reddit. Comments are longer and not just one liner’s, and the smaller community means my comments won’t be buried. It also feels like a gateway drug to posting. I should post something today. I won’t, but I should.
And that’s the right way to approach it, but in a platform were niche communities are so empty, even a meaningless comment counts
But yeah, I try to follow the same approach, I’m interested in many things, and subscribed to a lot of communities, but why should I comment if it doesn’t help or adds anything to the theme of the post
Well, If anyone reads this, keep this as a good habit, even if it feels a bit weird in here, comment when you are of help, and learn from others when you have nothing to say
Edit:
I love how the replies to this are doing the exact opposite lol, take care boys, I actually got a good laugh from this
I just don’t feel like I have anything insightful or meaningful to say.
But, I feel like I should in the community I mainly frequent since it’s really quiet a lot and the main mod feels like the only person keeping things ticking along.

Yeah, I comment more and longer. Because I’m more confident it will be seen.

I have this same issue as well.
