So when you are reading a post you really should consider leaving a comment. Not only does it make the author feel good (if it’s a relevant comment) and gives them encouragement but it also gets your name in front of people.
Sometimes I see a really good and informative post and all I could think of is "nice post". I don't want to look like I was just fishing for upvotes so I tend to hold back commenting and just upvote it.
oh I get that. i too have read posts and enjoyed the read but have nothing valuable to add. This can be difficult as you want to let the author know that you enjoyed it. Maybe try expand on 'nice post' with 'awesome read, really like the style of your writing, I don't have anything that adds value but I wanted to let you know your content is appreached'
Well, I'm gonna try now :)
Awesome read, I really like the style of your writing it really captures what the readers feel and seek. This is my second week and this is really what I need, people to follow, communities that are responsive and you've done all that in a single post. Thank You!
