Eh, I'm not very active on social media and don't really notice/care if my recip has social media. Like if you like the work and wanna share it, absolutely do, but I wouldn't think not doing it is bad? And some people don't have social media or have it connected to their real name or something so they wouldn't want to share fic there
I mean these aren't things where not doing them makes you a bad recip? They're things where if you do them, it's extra great.
(Also very few people with no fandom social media get on Good Egg lists. I'm not saying that's fair, but being a person who exists in fandom outside AO3 helps generally.)
Do people not rec gifts on EAD? I don't go there because whenever I look it seems like it's full of wank.
(Unfortunately my answer there is "get involved in other fandom social spaces until someone knows you well enough to tell you about the good discords" which is kind of catch-22 if the reason you want discords is you can't stand other social spaces. Although sometimes going on the big discords full of wank and teens works for that, if you can stand *them* long enough to get to know the sane people.)
