This part of your post made me smile. This is a very big community, with many different opinions as to what is an appropriate response. Although someone may have said that they find those types of posts rude, you will also find people on here that say, they would prefer that people make some sort of response or acknowledgement of their post rather than none at all. So my advise to you is respond in the way that you feel is appropriate. And as far as posting pictures and then becoming involved in something else without having a chance to respond to others, that is fine, just don't complain that no one likes you or that people aren't trying hard enough to make you feel welcome, when you are not making any effort to truly belong. Personally, so far I think you are doing great.
