It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

    one thing that I’ve noticed the last week when using Lemmy is that content is slowly coming along but the discussions are somewhat lacking.

    Reddit offers a shitload of topics and content but the real reason we were there was for the comments and the discussions.

    Bots reposting material can be a way to artificially secure the constant flow of topics but we need to throw some gasoline on the discussion bonfire…

      I’m hoping it will happen naturally. I am inclined to think those of us who left reddit early are less lurkers than the users who will leave later. That means most of the users who left reddit early in the blackout are the more active users. Still, we need to double down on our activity to get things going here. It reminds me of a message on mastodon when the twitter exodus happened. There was encouragement to comment on toots, even if it was something small, just to make the OPs feel they were being heard/read. We should strive for the same here, specially considering there might be another wave of users coming this way after the 30th.
