I try to comment on things so there is engagement and conversation. Without engagement, this is just a collection of bookmarks.

But it's kinda up to us to create that. Somehow. Sometimes even just a quip or shitpost comment can sort of open the floodgates.

The way I see it, people shouldn't post things unless they have some discussion they want to have about that thing. They shouldn't post just because it's news. I'd be fine with Lemmy having far less frequent new posts if those posts were all created by people who were legitimately trying to share something rather than just generate content.
