I think as moderators, we can make “lurkers” more comfortable by doing what we can to . . .
1) provide as much context and rationale as possible
2) post and reply using comments of encouragement, especially when lurkers post for the first time in the community.
3) Occasionally give a call-out to a known lurker that is doing something compelling you know about, but phrase it such that is does not require a response from said “lurker.” Perhaps even post a piece of work that person has shared in an alternate space.
