In reply to 1 earlier post
@theorangeninja@sopuli.xyz on sopuli.xyz Open parent
On Reddit I mostly consumed discussions. Either by lurking or reading old threads. So my engagement on Reddit was minimal.


But Lemmy this is different. I like it a lot here but I feel like I need to engage a bit myself to create the great discussions I used to simply observe on Reddit.


So my question is:


What are your advice on how to
properly start discussions and keep them going?
Do I have to respond to every comment? Or is a simple upvote enough to thank them if I have no further questions?
Can I reply after a day or two if I am too busy to reply immediatly?
What is considered low effort?
Are cross-posts appreciated or considered rude?
General Lemmy-etiquette
And anything else you might consider helpful for a rookie or you want to see more often in posts.


Thanks a lot in advance everyone!

At risk of oversimplifying, I think you should just post things that interest you and join discussions where you have something worth saying. Sometimes there won't be any conversation, because the fediverse is relatively small, but conversely you never know when some super niche subject will happen to be someone's interest, or their area of expertise.
