I had like ten new notifications when I opened lemmy today, which (as a commenter-only) is by far a personal record.
Turns out it was due to my very first post on lemmy, about a little victory, and every single comment was supportive and encouraging!
It made me feel less ashamed about my big struggles and small victories. Small victory, but big win.
(I didn’t expect little victories back to back, but I promise I wont clutter the feed every day, haha)
I cannot put to words how happy I am to see this post. Your positive experience is the precise reason I made this community!
It was a great initiative to create it, thank you!
Good work! Social interaction is worth infinity times its weight in gold! (I mean, since social interaction doesn’t weigh anything but it’s very important and valuable.)
I agree! It can feel scary to put oneself out there but it’s a skill that needs practicing like everything else.
I am glad you are here
Thank you, I appreciate you!
And your username brought me on a memory trip to a childhood home with that exact functionality, which I still don’t understand but it was a fun way to mess with people.
