MODERATORS
You'll probably need to wait a bit for those, or else start one.
People were willing to write that kind of stuff on Reddit because they knew people would see it. Possibility of attention incentivizes people to put the work in.
Here...not so much. Less incentive to put effort into big text posts without more people. Lemmy's less than perfect sorting for Hot or Active is helping much either.
That's kind of how Reddit was at first, too. All of this will take shape eventually it's just not here quite yet.
Ah, that would make sense
I've made a few text/discussion based posts on a dnd community and got good engagement. People are wrong if you give them a chance.
Be the change you want to see. It's never more true than at the beginning of something like we are now. I've only been here a month or two and I ashtray feel like I've seen Lemmy evolve over that time. It's cool!
