Where can i find posts with comments? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

My favourite part of Reddit were comments. Almost every time they were better than the post itself. Yeah quality was kinda low, but you could find some meaningfull discussion or useful information. On Lemmy every post in my feed has maximum 10 comments. Where can I find more?

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

Lemmy doesn't as many accounts and people participating as in Reddit. But the more you participate the more you motivate people to do as well, because it can create the start of conversation.

Also...

Choose "active" or "hot".

Wouldn't "most comments" be the obvious choice? I never did that but isn't it what OP wants?

Edit: I've tried it and it shows posts that are weeks old which makes sense. Maybe "most comments per day" would be cool but for now, "most comments" isn't that useful

It would be useful if there was a time setting on the "most comments sort" like there is on sorting by top. "Most comments today" or "this hour" would get you the most talked about posts, while "Most comments this year" might show the posts that reflect major events or at least thing which are culturally important to the fediverse at large.
