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.

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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

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.
Same Literally never posted on Reddit in my decade of lurking. Lemmy is more welcoming and 'charming' IMO
I'm trying to be a more avid poster but the gateway errors are making it difficult.
Just joined lemmy last night. (Now it's morning where I am from). Already commented 3-4 times. On reddit I used to comment once probably in a couple of weeks. It's probably because it's something very new and interesting. Also I am finding that people around seem nicer in a way maybe?
I’ve felt the same but on Bluesky the last few days, for the exact same reasons. Was on kbin and not really enjoying it, but coming to here and hoping it takes off! Excited to be wanting to interact and post versus just lurk because of toxic communities
I’ve always been a comment contributor. I just do it here instead of that old alien site. Also wiped my stuff over there.
Yep!
Mostly active on my own instance (Feddit.nl) with posts and comments.
Don’t have as many rules about how to post here and new posts don’t get caught up with needing to be approved.

I'm having trouble because a lot of my usual interests haven't really made it here yet, and I don't have the time to be responsible for starting any communities

It's a bit ironic that I've seen this exact same post about three times already. Apparently you're the only one posting stuff.
Or maybe I don't know how Lemmy works.

I’m definitely doing better but nothing crazy like multiple times a day😳 good on you for providing content
@SoLowChoLowRider I agree i was a forever lurker but now i actually want to try and post and interact.
I honestly find I'm doing it less. Maybe I just have to find the right communities.
I never even had an account on reddit but on lemmy i post shit ?
Yeah my Reddit account had maybe 5 posts in 13 years.
Beat that on day 1 of Lemmy!
Definitely commenting and upvoting more. Didn't even think about it until I saw your post!
Posting once or twice a day means you're posting (on average) 273x as much as you would on Reddit. That's a huge difference! 273x more posting would mean 273x more posts from people like you. (Of course, this is pretty optimistic).
I was on reddit for almost 15 years and i mostly just commented. I posted maybe 5 or 6 times at most. Been on lemmy for 2 days and im already at 3 (shitposts).
