I think I need to expand my reading list here but but I'm extremely shy and sometimes it's a bit scary. I am more comfortable using this place to write my thoughts but the social part is a bit difficult everywhere, so... yeah

Yeah, I think maybe it's because I haven't explored much and I'm gonna try to do that more. And knowing subscribing doesn't really sets an expectation helps a lot. Thank you for the advice and suggestions! I'm still learning how to do thing here. At least the part of posting isn't that hard :P

Hello! *waves*

I just wanted to second this. The old flist on LJ did come more with a set of expectations or at least people felt that way.

The fact that you can subscribe without a 'gate keeper' of any kind does set low expectations. My only expectations of anyone who subscribes to my journal is that if they do comment and/or interact with others on one of my journal posts they're polite to each other, even if they disagree. That's it, that's my expectation. Pretty much the same as I expect of people in my living room. I will add, that if you're looking to expand your circle my circle is full of lovely type people.

Hello! *waves back* Thank you for the reassurance. Those are pretty reasonable expectations. And thank ypu for the suggestion too 🙌​

No problem!

Always happy to help~

Typically, people here will put a sticky introduction that also includes how they think of subscribe/access like so: https://geraineon.dreamwidth.org/261565.html

You can consider having a sticky intro post with that if it would help you feel more comfortable subscribing to people~

That's another helpful tip. And now that I've posted more and know a bit what to expect and how this site works, I think it would be easier for me to write that.
