I want to be a part of something new. And I want to see it from as early in the process as possible. I've been opening issues on lemmy apps, helping users, better understanding the technologies, the intricacies of federation, and the process of building and nurturing a positive, supportive community. That's fun, and rewarding. And it feels like we get to own it a little. And someday I may have my own Lemmy instance and I can continue the work, all in my own way.
And that attitude is how you foster a great community.
