Nope.
Engagement numbers help the IPO, this in turn would put more $$ in u/spez pocket and that I will not support.
You’re lucky if the communities you have followed survived intact or unaffected. The tenor of my feed was changing for the worse before the API protests. When I left, after? It was a shithole.
Sure, there are communities that I miss, that are absent, or have weak, or hard to find presences. But the solution isn’t to go lurk and buff those engagement metrics, in my somewhat Reddit hostile opinion.
All the information I want is usually old and the only way I get to the information is through Google.
