Well I tried to reduce my automatic masking abilities a while ago and I feel more comfortable in my own body since. But still no frends :3 I think being multiple personalities at once is just my personality. Differentiate and Integrate. Hard process. Still in it. Help.
Only 60% of posts by one individual actually means the community is active and thriving. Are you familiar with the 90-9-1 rule? Lemmy is still small enough that most communities that are any activity at all are being carried by a single individual.
Having a small community is a blessing and a curse. Reddit grew too large of a user base, and the quality of interactions took a significant decline around 2015 or so. I’m hoping Lemmy (and federation in general) can bring back what I found special about Reddit around 2009-2010.
I see some of the issues that Reddit has (one-word or low-effort comments, people not reading the article, atrocious grammar/spelling), but it doesn’t seem to be the norm. I’ve been visiting Lemmy for around a year but have finally decided to stop using Reddit and become active over here.
Those issues you point out (“that reddit has”) seem to be common on all medium/large platforms. One word comments like “first” and “this” were common on sites like digg, long before reddit came along. And spelling/grammar mistakes are older than the internet.
Then be that poster yourself, I guess? There’s not much that can be done about this, this is just sort of how human beings work. Most people are going to be silent consumers and lurkers.
It’s not just the condition it’s how people manage it, for example masking to fit in

Also why are 60% of all autism posts by you?

What if that one individual is not well informed? Makes all others look like dumb sheeps. I am scared of this.

Everyone else is just lurking
