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.

Thanks for posting! This is definitely an appropriate community.

I'd say that at this point in the growth of Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed, comments are definitely the most useful. There are many communities which have plenty of posts, but very few comments. I could get a similar experience from an RSS feed.

Comments and discussions are what liven up the platform. If you're not sure what to comment, you can always ask a question. Questions are excellent in that they inherently solicit additional comments, and can be the seed for further discussions.
