Yes, I never felt like commenting when there were hundreds of previous comments. Here, with just a few comments, it feel like it an actual contribution, not a drop in the ocean. I also spend more time reading each comment.
And even if a post has many comments on here you still get interaction because they sort by "Hot" by default (at least on kbin)
I think this is a big part of it. On the other site you’d really have to be early on a popular post, otherwise there’d already be thousands of comments and it didn’t feel worth the effort.
Yep same here. I'd usually browse 'all' on reddit and everything that could be said had already been said in the comments. So it kind of felt what's the point.
It's made me realise that I don't want Lemmy tobl become a reddit clone for this reason. If it gets too big it'll be the same issue.
