I’ve had it happen that i joined a community and commented in some interesting thread and only then noticed that it was 3 or even 6 months old

Yes, i made four, because when i joined Lemmy, everyone seemed to urge new users to spread across the fediverse. So, i did. But over time, i did away with two accounts and am contemplating ditching another one.

I noticed that many people commented that there should be more engagement, ‘just like reddit’. So, i’m wondering if some of these people left and will return later to see if it’s more ‘reddit like’. So, those might be people who don’t necessarily want to post and comment themselves, but are waiting until they can get served with an endless stream of posts to scroll through.

Just thinking out loud here.

Thank you so much for caring, well done!
