This is an interesting idea, or maybe we just need people to be more willing to comment in old posts. Reddit is actively hostile to old posts, but they should work fine in Lemmy/PieFed since we have sort options like Active and New Comments. On old forums people used to continue talking in old posts forever, we could do that here no problem, the software supports it.
Comments might actually be the most valuable thing right now, even moreso than posts

I wish these un-federated things would do API calls to get the full data. I think they just recently started doing this with replies.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Required move to ease onboarding?English
5·1 month agothis is basically what Ragnarok Online did with the novice class and then you have to pick a real class when you hit job level 10 lol
but I don’t think this idea would work because people are lazy and this would be kinda confusing
if you’re onboarding family and friends, you just choose the instance for them, you say “hey, signup here: URL”

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there a way to mirror corporate social media to the Fediverse?English
13·1 month agoYea, bot posts screw up our posts:comments ratio
They make a ton of posts but we don’t have enough commenters to hit all of them. What few comments they do get are spread out across different posts so there’s no back and forth conversation, engagement dies.
and seeing a bunch of posts with 0 comments or OP not responding causes users to leave Lemmy

Nah I think it works well. If an instance sucks, it’s easy enough to use a similar community on a different instance. If an instance dies, it’s easy enough to move the community to a different instance. We’ve seen it happen already. Way better than Reddit.
