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!

    Some communities don’t like clumsy or simple questions I had to learn. I was wondering why my question was getting no answers like usual and then the post was just gone without explanation or notification.

    And thank you, I will try to be available for a few hours after posting but will not force it on me.

      Sure, not all communities are the same, that’s fine. There are plenty of communities I’m not interested or I see I won’t fit in. There are others I don’t have that impression.
