Maybe this is a dumb question. I've always been a lurker on social media, but I really want to help the Fediverse grow, and I've never been sure of how to engage with social media communities without feeling like I'm not contributing anything of value. What types of posts/comments/interactions are most needed on the Fediverse? Also, what are some tips on becoming less nervous to interact online? Sorry if this isn't the right community to post to, wasn't sure where to ask this.

Content that's easy to engage with, be that posts or comments that lend themselves for riffing or are insightful. What communities do you want to see grow? Are there somewhat frequent posts? If not, try posting and see if others join in. It yes, engage via commenting and/or voting.
