You do see that there's a distinction between participating and contributing to fandom though, don't you? I'm going to guess so because that's the way you phrased it.

If I lurk in a fandom, I'm still participating. Consuming the fic, art, meta, manips, analyses etc. people contribute is still an act of participation.

If I reblog other people's already-created fic, art, meta, manips, analyses etc. then I am still participating, but still not contributing because all of these things still exist whether I reblog them or not. I am not the one who put any of them out there, therefore I have not contributed to them.

Can you make someone else in the fandom happy by doing the latter? Of course you can (look at the followers for tumblrs that literally only reblog fanart)! And sharing the love and enthusiasm is essential. But calling that act 'contribution' is inaccurate.

OP didn't say what they contributed, so we can't really judge (which is what I'm taking issue with - a lot of judging with no information besides OP likes tumblr and feels they're finally able to contribute).

OP said they were a lurker; that doesn't imply they were making and/or doing anything. They also said they didn't participate in discussions, so we can safely rule out meta and/or opinion pieces. Not really seeing how it's hard to extrapolate that out into OP's participation being limited to reblogging.

And the very first question asked what they contributed. Either they don't even care about the replies they got and aren't even reading, or they've chosen not to clarify or provide more information that could elaborate on their position. So at least they're staying true to their committment not to participate in discussions.
