I’ll add that one thing that makes contributing to meta more enjoyable is giving back what we learned.
Most of us, I think, came here first with questions, suggestions… And were given help and replies. We learned about Discourse, online communities, programming…
As I often say, I’m no coding wizard at all, but over the years so many people have helped me, and in return, I try to help other people in Support to the best of my abilities. They are quite low, but sometimes, low is more than enough to help someone. 
Suggesting UX enhancements, new features, reporting bugs, etc… Is also a way to give back to the community what they offered to us.
