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.

There are so many interesting niche communities, but most people don't know about them and there they are empty.

Sure, they could post their niche communities in those promo communities, but let's be honest: most people don't browse there.

I think a better approach to help those niche communities grow would be this.

If you see a post that could also be shared in a niche community, then you could either cross-post it there or leave a comment mentioning that niche community.
