Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities.

  The point is that most people won’t participate in a community that’s the same bot, posting headlines over and over, with 1 upvote and 0 comments, day in and day out. I’ve blocked so many of those (especially the ones who’s RSS feed only refreshes like once a day and they vomit like 30 stories at once into some community that shows up in my All feed blocking out everything else for miles of scrolling.)

  You need users expressing their interest via posting. It’s community editorializing that makes platforms like this interesting, from Slashdot and Fark all the way to Lemmy today.

    Exactly this

    I don’t want to see 20 posts with no comments.

    Disable bot accounts for yourself if you don’t want to see them, like I already said

      Or I could just go elsewhere

      Lemmy has plenty of communities and instances to choose from

        Too lazy/stupid for one checkbox? Lines up with you for sure
