I’ve found that near every post I’ve made only has nice comments. Unless it is political lol, but thats par for the course. I believe in you!

Nice post, and thanks. I usually only comment and vote but have not created posts yet. That is my goal for 2026, to post at least one thing. I’m scared of the potential hateful insults I would get for posting something but I can be a dick sometimes, so I get it.

Yeah, unless you’re making a discussion about human rights, or you have the most brain-dead opinion to ever disgrace this earth, people are pretty damn nice here

Start by posting a pic of a pet. You’ll get upvoted and will get over your fear. If people do downvote or complain, just let it roll off and try again.

It one downvote your pet, tell me. I’ll have a “chat” with them.

I fear only one thing. That I will be too bland/boring or what I deem in any way interesting won’t be. Or that it will be and I’d get overwhelmed with amount of comments and wouldn’t be able to reply to even third of them and would come off as a dick or a bot :< That and I am well aware I am not compatible with most of lemmy so yeah.

This is the main resistance I see. I thought I’d be boring in the beginning. I didn’t know much about the subject I began to post about. But from continuing to interact, I learned more about the subject, and I learned what the people I was talking to liked more or liked less.
If you’re just being yourself and talking about things you’re interested in, you’re gonna be fine. People here are pretty chill, so if you’re not spouting outright lies or antagonizing people, there isn’t anything to worry about.

I post a lot and don’t usually get hateful insults, in fact most of what I post gets no comments at all.
The way I find most things I post is literally just that I repost them from my Mastodon feed.

I never posted nor commented in reddit, here I try to overcome the social anxiety

If you commit to making a post, I commit to being nice to you and not being a jerk.I try not to be like that in general and appreciate people’s willingness to contribute.
