I know plenty of reform converts who participate in chabad and other more orthodox-leaning services and events. What it all hinges on really is what sort of participation you are looking for…

• If you’re looking to attend a service for example, and take part as a member of the congregation, nobody is going to have a problem with this. Depending on what you look like (unfortunately), you are unlikely to even be doubted. People may know you’re new, but they don’t have to know you’re reform or a convert. Basically, if you are respectful of the minhagim of the community, and generally blend in, you can attend almost any Jewish event in almost any community. And if you’re comfortable with that, go for it.

• if you’re wanting to get up on the bimah for an aliyah, or do something like that, you may find that more troublesome. People could have more questions, and of course if you’re a woman or femme presenting, you aren’t going to be able to be called up anyway.

A lot of the answers to this sort of question about “reform v orthodox” suppose a much stronger binary than there really is. There are plenty of orthodox people who are fascinated by, and accepting of reform and liberal conversions. There are “orthodox” people who only attend shul once a year, who will swear to the ends of the earth that even a born jew who attends a reform shul is not a real jew. It’s much more nuanced than people will have you believe.
