I've been wondering if we're losing users. My "Everything" feed sorted by Active is full of posts with zero comments, and a great deal of them are just news article links that were probably automated.
Active is kind of a lackluster sorting method imo, Hot is awesome bc you get fresh posts (like Trending on that other site) aside from a couple 3M old posts that show up, Top 6h, 12h, Day are good too. New comments is cool if you want well engaged posts.
Thanks for the recommendation. I assumed active meant people were engaging, but I guess up-dooting counts as engagement.
It why i default sort to hot, and longterm browse by top 12H
Yeeeah just after Reddit died all kinds of people were there, now it's just the usual Linux users and the scripts creating fake traffic
I recently joined lemmy, because fuck reddit. And that's the first thing I saw. Lots of posted articles without comments. What do I do to combat that? Posting comments xD
I've found a lot of user generated posts here to contribute to, but the article thing has started occurring more often recently.
