I notice on a lot of mags, there is one or two people posting, and either 0, a handful, or quite a bit of upvotes, but no one is really engaging, most the time there are 0 comments.

I think in order to foster the growth of our community, we must try to engage more with the people generating the content, it's helpful and encouraging for them, and also a positive sign for people who are coming into the fediverse. I post quite a bit, and comments always make me feel like it was worth it!

Also, keep upvoting! Someone responded to your post or comment, and you're just grateful for that or agree with them? Upvote them! Engage! That's all :)

I feel a bit guilty about this as I comment on a lot of useless stuff but I follow a guy who posts great articles but I generally don't have much to say as the articles are that good. I end up posting something maybe every half dozen articles but they are all great.

What's the magazine? I'm curious to see if I can sub to a magazine from Lemmy.

im not sure at this point as I did not save the info from the posting but I do a search for keeshond which was its name and nothing comes up. I know I have subbed other magazines if the url was giving me issues by simply searching the main part of its name and it worked for those.

Sometimes you just don't know what to say that feels like it actually meaningfully contributes, y'know? Also complicates things that I have like 5 other small scale social medias im trying to nurture on top of my ADHD (and not all of them are even federated...). But I still try to chip in to add some spice.

I think it's quality not quantity. I'd rather be in a ~~sub~~ community where a post is made once a week but a really good conversation comes out of it than in a situation where things are being posted for the sake of posting anything.

This is what I've been trying to do. Put some thought into comments whenever I run into a post I'm interested in. Also do favorites have any effect on what shows up on your homepage?

No.

Lots of angry folks out here; hard to get people involved when they see the "big contributors" going around brigading with no capacity for recompense, reporting or otherwise. I think we could get things moving a lot faster if we got rid of the downvote altogether; copying the Reddit way of doing things is... not great.
