At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven't even been on lemmy that long.

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.

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.
