I've always felt a bit of that too.

"This was a great link/meme, thanks for sharing it!" is often enough to brighten someone's day, and gets you used to general engagement.

Good vibes are no basis for structuring society on a large scale, but when it comes to interacting with your own community, they're often enough.
