Almost 12 years of HN. I'm still a lurker, I'm sorry I don't contribute more, but I don't have much time and reading HN with a coffee in the morning is the best thing I can do. Thx everyone involved <3
Better than contribution, consider visiting /newest and upvote|flag things there. There're a lot of good articles lost in the haystack. Even if it's once in a while it's very good for the community.
In the old days of reddit, when it was almost lost as a community, that was called the Knights of New. A selfless system sadly ignored/killed by reddit admins and mods.
You need not be sorry for not contributing. Thanks for being here. HN is a place for learners and people who improve their lives by knowledge and building awesome user-centric products can make world a better place for others as well!
You don’t have to contribute something significant. I don’t think it’s about how much one contributes, or now important it is. If you have an opinion - give it. If you have a question - ask it. If you have a criticism - tell it (respectfully). I often get the most out of HN when I’m asking questions. The best part about this place is that people answer them. Or gives you the background context that wasn’t in an article.
