I have been making comments and posts on lemmy with a fervor that suggests I believe I am personally the one moving the whole damn line myself up on engagement. It is a delusion, and a useful one too.
A lot of threads up until some weeks ago felt kinda barren, because there were no or little interactions in the comment sections.
Now things are starting to feel more lively, engaging and interesting, because comments provide additional background and/or counter-arguments - and sometimes just good old stupid fun. :-P
