My favourite part of Reddit were comments. Almost every time they were better than the post itself. Yeah quality was kinda low, but you could find some meaningfull discussion or useful information. On Lemmy every post in my feed has maximum 10 comments. Where can I find more?
It depends on what communities and the instances those communities are on. That includes the intentions of the communities themselves. Some are just bots relaying information(certain news communities, tech communities, etc).
So that’s important, and then on top of that it’s important to remember the fediverse is growing, while it’s been around for a number of years it’s still very much new to bunch of people. The amount of users or members compared to twitter, or Reddit(which I’m a refugee from), or facebook, etc is tiny.
So the fediverse is growing and while I love it right now, more and more folks will sign up on different instances and if everything works out the engagement will increase.
Lemmy doesn’t as many accounts and people participating as in Reddit. But the more you participate the more you motivate people to do as well, because it can create the start of conversation.
My instance shows far less comments than the original instance. Somebody knows why?
The instance where I am federates normally with any other instances, but always notice there are far less comments and need to follow the original instance’s link so I can read all the comments.
Like everything, it will take time. Right new, there are a lot of new communities that just need content to get eyes on them. Once more people are comfortable with how to use Lemmy, they’ll start engaging more.
I agree that the comment sections were the real treasure of reddit, and I hope to see that liveliness here too.
