The only engagement you actually get is on super-niche subreddits. Other than that, the "engagement" you get on reddit is largely indistinguishable from bot traffic.

I come to Lemmy to read threads of people arguing about whether or not they’re talking to each other at all. This is doing it for me.

Can you pass a capcha?

Are you implying I can’t pick out bridges or motorcycles? I definitely can, but I won’t do it for you as some kind of sick parlor trick.

Speaking of tricks, did you know there are singles in your area!

[–] DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz 19 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Sexy singles- In my area? Are there any weird tricks they don't want me to know? Just one would probably work.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They can make entire hot dogs disappear! Crazy, right?

One bite at a time, you sickos. Omg, you pervs.

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You just engaged.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Or admitted to being a bot.

[–] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This isn't Reddit though.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I feel like that comment was edited to be less ambiguous.

[–] DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz 3 points 9 months ago

I added "on reddit" when I saw people were misunderstanding me.
