On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.

    Or “I’m too late to the post. The front page algo refreshes too fast, and nobody will read my comment anyway.”

      This was my main reason not following most of the biggest subs like askreddit. Even if it’s an interesting question, by the time I see it it’s just not worth replying anymore because no one is going to read it anyways.

        I commented much more on reddit 10+ years ago when the comment sections were smaller and the front page didn’t refresh so quickly.

        They changed the algorithm to turn over the front page more per day, and it sucked the life out of the comment section.

      For real, on Reddit an 8 hour old post and nobody will see your comment.

      Here I can comment on a post 2 days old and still get replies.
