A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world

1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

That's honestly crazy to me. What's the appeal of lurking?
Not the person you asked but another lurker. Social interaction is hard, even posting this I'm having second thoughts about it, but I still like to feel like a member of the community.
Congratulations to you on interacting! I agree with everything you said.
I'm certainly not one of the lemmy celebrities, but I've got nearly 900 comments on lemmy where I doubt I had 100 on Reddit. Not going back to check.
Lemmy is a just nicer place to comment than Reddit: smaller audience, kinder communities, much less intimidating. I don't consider there to be any pressure to make posts or to comment, but if you do, I doubt you'll regret it.
Either way, I personally am happy to have you here.
Welcome to the community, fam!
My published comments are probably about 20% of comments I start. I just give up most of the time because it wasn’t important or I can’t word something how I like in the moment
If I notice that I am spending too much time trying to cover all the bases so someone can't nitpick or acktually my reply I just give up and hit cancel. I appreciate an entertaining comment thread, what bug the shit out of me are people that reply to a comment with an obscure edge case or who are just pedantic for the sake of being pedantic.
Sometimes what you were going to comment is already there, you updoot and move along.
To learn...
Just happy to observe and take in people's ideas and views
If you're satisfied then that's enough i guess. 2 comments in 1 year is crazy
