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?

Since i was there i can attest that what you're seeing is pretty much the early days of Reddit itself. At the beginning it didn't even had comments, the purpose of the site was sharing interesting links. Then comments were added and people commented on said links. Of course, in nearly 20 years the site has evolved.

So, assuming and hoping that Lemmy lasts and grows, just give it time.
