3600+ plus comments is awesome dude. I dont know if theres a leaderboard but that has to be a high score.
It feels so strange when I see it as someone who has only ever lurked online and is pretty quiet in person. I liked what I saw when I came here, and wanted it to succeed, and making this a place where people actually converse is the only way to be viable. I can’t make anyone else post or comment, so I just started to do it myself. Sometimes we have to put our natural comfort zone aside to do what we feel needs to be done.
I love your posts, anon, and you said something similar in another post, which made me stop lurking and start at least commenting. I too want Lemmy to succeed, partially because I need my daily dose of owl knowledge! Please keep rocking on with your bad self.
I do really appreciate getting to give you guys a smile every day with something fun. I dabble in other comment sections, but so much news seems negative, I mainly try to keep a bit of positivity flowing.
I’m glad you got motivated to participate. I had to fake some enthusiasm to make things every day early on, but now that it’s become a habit I look forward to and I’ve gotten familiar with a number of you, it’s something I really look forward to doing.
I regularly scout to see what people miss from Reddit, etc and I saw a post the other day saying there is a sub that would read research papers together and I thought that would be really helpful as I’ve branched out into trying to ELI5 owl research for you guys. I hope that person can stumble onto that and maybe participate. It’s fun to see where we’ll go with Lemmy.
If you keep commenting and upvoting, I’ll keep posting. I’m already looking forward to this year’s Owl of the Year. It was so hectic for me, but we all seemed to have a ton of fun!
