First off, I want to say that I love what the people here are doing but I do have a problem. There is never any conversation about posts. There are tons and tons of links shared but most of the time they're just articles that someone found interesting. I never see any true, meaningful discussion the way I do on reddit. Does anyone else have a problem with this or am I just shouting at the clouds? Is there anything we can do about it?

Another thing that I notice is that threads that somehow get traction and replies from mastodon tend to be very active.

So maybe we can encourage more people from mastodon to subscribe to communities and participate there, so lemmy content automatically gets federated to more mastodon servers, that then again have waaaaaay more users who might be interested and engage? Also users there should like the software and values anyways :)

That's a great idea.
