I feel the same way! I used to only lurk on reddit, I had an account for years and only made a couple of comments. On here I’m commenting and engaging more because I want to do my part to make the community grow. I really want to see this succeed because as a dev myself, seeing what reddit did to third party devs, to the dev of Apollo, I refuse to support that in any way, not with my data or with my time. I might make an attempt to piece together lemmy android app or see about contributing to Jerboa soon before my fall semester of school begins. I truly wish for this platform to grow

I was mostly on reddit for the information I got from the niche communities I joined. Posts regarding GPU passthrough for virtual machines, the configurations people used, problem solving for those virtual machines, I loved all of it. I only lurked though, very very rarely did I even comment, on here I’m trying to be more active. I’m hoping that as communities grow, I can get the same information I got from the reddit subs I lurked on
