MODERATORS
Yeah that's something I'm noticing a lot too. It feels like, at the moment, a lot of the communities are communities in name only. People upvote posts when they see them but there's not much discussion happening.
Which is something that will improve with time, obviously.
I could go into all those common threads and start making comments but I feel like it would just be inorganic.
One thing that I try to do is find other comments and respond to them. A lot of times it's easier to respond to another comment than to make a top level comment in the post, imo. And it opens up the door to a discussion, which is the whole purpose of this platform
!League@lemmy.ml I've been doing my best, but it's mostly talking to myself.
Hmmm I've been on !leagueoflegends@lemmy.world
The lemmy.world community has a few hundred more subscribers but slightly less activity. I'll come join you on !league@lemmy.ml
I'll go sub over there too. I just want a community that's not on Reddit.
