Self-hosting communities. I like the idea and do self host if you consider renting a VPS selfhosting, but can't fit/afford an extra PC (let alone a server rack) in my flat to properly participate in the community.
To be honest, I lurked a bit in your (other) community when you moved. Naturally I can't interact, since I don't identify as a woman... I'm still a bit unsure whether that was a good thing to do, but I was a bit curious what you do there and what kind of atmosphere such a community has. Now I know, and I can stop lurking. (Seems to be an excellent place, btw.)
With other communities I don't really notice that much. They're all in a big feed and I engage with some posts and I don't interact with others. That'll make me a lurker with some communities and topics. While the ones I have to contribute something to, will end up with my comments underneath.

I normally block communities for my own good. I blocked WomensStuff for their good. I don't have the same self control as you do.

VPS is absolutely self-hosting.

For some reason I thought it's home-hosting only. But I love the two answers I got and think I'll try to participate there!

Almost everywhere. 95% of the comments I type I don't even post.

I mainly just lurk in news communities although I do comment sometimes

Maybe I comment too much
Edit: !gardening@lemmy.world and !foodporn@lemmy.world
I like the content, but I'm very bad at both.
