I hope this isn't off topic, but I really like the fediverse I think. I don't like the fact there's no real "like button"? I assume this is something people appreciate about it, but I just want to show my appreciation/support/interest in a toot. I don't want somebody to feel like they're calling into the void.
Commenting despite having nothing to say doesn't feel comfortable to me.

I don't think I've come across a server without upvotes, though some disable downvotes. That said, the vote tally means less to me than someone saying "that's neat, thanks for sharing!", and that definitely adds to the vibe as well as the conversation. I encourage you to do that, to the level you're comfortable with

Well u do kinda have the upvote functionality, no? I'll be honest.... Seeing upvotes on some weird ass shitpost comment that I made does make me feel a little giddy inside hehe. So like.... If u want to show appreciation, the upvote does work for me at least!
