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!
