Maybe there should be an option to join the various conversations together if a user wants to see more content. That sounds pretty difficult to manage, though.
I asked someone i know why they didn’t join lemmy, their answer is lemmy is too fractured and they have to sub to multiple same community to get the full thing. I think it’s a quirk of fediverse/ap protocol, where each instance could have and want their own community, and some instance user would like to stay in their own instance as well.
More comments, in general. Many posts have tons of upvotes but zero comments so it’s hard to engage in a conversation.
Keep in mind that the same article often gets posted to multiple communities on multiple instances, dividing up the comment pool.

I save posts to check them the next day for this reason. Sorting by new gets boring pretty quick :/
Sort by top - 6h. That’s where the good stuff is.
I sort by active, that usually helps
That’s fair. I wonder if anyone has looked into the vote to comment ratio compared to other social media platforms. I’m curious how Lemmy compares
can’t speak for others, but i’m mostly the quiet/introverted/lurker type…
sometimes i just feel like i have nothing valuable to add to the conversation
i will make an active effort to engage more tho
This is a good start :) thanks for the comment/contribution
