MODERATORS
I'm pretty sure I've commented more within the last 2 days than my 8 years on Reddit lol. Engagement is definitely higher
What kinds of posts do you comment on? I’m finding it a bit difficult to find always active communities and discussions, which is the only thing preventing me from commenting as much as I used to with Apollo. Things like tipofmytongue, cringe, IsitBullshit, and outoftheloop along with movie and tv discussions were my frequent haunts, particularly when I can’t sleep at night, but sadly I’m not finding the same amount of engagement here. Hopefully as we grow we can find that same level of engagement.
I'm just going on r/all (idk what the Lemmy term is called) and sort by new. Whatever I see that interests me, like news about the world or a photo I find looks good. For now I'm just talking in whatever I find because I want to increase engagement overall. Later, when my niche communities become big enough to the point I don't need to constantly talk, I'll probably relax on my engagement.
Yep, same approach I'm taking.
For now browsing all is a good starting point. If I come across an interesting community while doing that, then I'll add it to my subscriptions.
As things grow, I'll switch more to browsing my subscribed communities.
