Why do we need to comment on everything? Some things I just agree/like, no comment
Why?

Exactly. If we son’t have anything to add besides what the upvote/downvote is already saying, we’d get endless “Same”, “This”, and “No” types of comments.

because we don’t get enough social interaction and we’re desperate to at least have some people read a thing we said online, and ideally actually reply to it

well shit thats sad
TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
People keep saying “lemmy is dying Bluesky is dying” but maybe it’s the fact that the people who migrated to those sites were already burned on social media and know better than to start arguments on the internet.

How many times you guys start writing a comment and after some words just say:
Fuck it…
App: Are you sure? > Discard
?
Surp@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes

I’m waiting for an LLM integrated Lemmy app that will let me click a button like “OP is wrong, write me a reply telling them so”

I just state truths its all the rest of you that re wrong.
VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
This. And I want quality comments not rehashed memes or jokes.
I get a lot of thought provoking replies in Lemmy.
RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Less controversial comments that compel people to respond and argue with?
Larger portion of mature people on lemmy?
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Commenting draws attention to yourself, which invites scrutiny and judgement. An upvote is (mostly) anonymous.
Also, upvotes take way less effort, always going to be more of those (unless a fight breaks out in the comments or something)
yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
The worst is that one of those comments is me, adding nothing to the conversation saying “same bro lmao”
Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Same dude, lmao.

Probably a “good post, nothing to add” case.
BenLeMan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Good post, nothing to add.
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s well-known that there are levels of engagement with content, with fewer people doing the more involved things. Most people just scroll past everything. Single digits percentage upvote posts. Fewer go into the comments, and again maybe 10% of those participate in comments. The ratio of every level is different on different platforms, but it’s there.
For platforms with pretty quick flow like Reddit and Lemmy, the ratio naturally falls off hard. Something like Hacker News rewards slower and more thoughtful engagement with content and threads, so I’d guess they have a larger share of active commenters — although OTOH you don’t quite want to show up with mindless predictable comments like prevalent here.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Prior to bots, Reddit observed on many occasions the 90% rule:
90% of users just scrolled Of the ones remaining, 90% only voted Of the ones remaining, only 90% left comments
And finally, 90% of those left never posted

That’s a funny way to say that this place is not full of bots.
Senseless@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
No need to add anything if it’s already perfect.
Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
My comments tend to get way more engagement here than on reddit. People are just friendlier. When I’m funny, they make me feel like the man. On reddit you had to piggy-back on top comments just to get any hits, and half of them were just confrontational for no good reason.
merdaverse@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
It’s also because Lemmy’s sorting algorithms are much better. On Reddit, if you’re more than 6 hours late to a post, comments won’t get any interaction.
You can tell Lemmy is written by socialists, with upvotes being much more evenly distributed and less focused on the top 5% going viral.

...perhaps the introverts are smarter than the fucks on reddit?..
ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
on reddit there was a lot of bot generated commentary. like yes, bots posting comments but also users who wouldn’t have commented getting pulled into a “discussion” by a bot comment.
ynthrepic@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No comments needed if it’s that good.

Can’t speak for everyone but on my phone the a.lemmy.world website is unusable for replies. Half the reply box is covered by a control with a tempting x that closes the entire post and loses my reply. The submit button is hidden under the keyboard. When I finish typing I can hit the check mark above the keyboard which causes the website to zoom to 200% where upon I must find a neutral spot to double click somewhere and look for the post button, otherwise some nerd won’t be able to invalidate my experience.

As someone who uses Sync. I don’t have this problem. Ever.

Didn’t the developers of sync do a take the money and run?

garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Less bots maybe? I’ve noticed this too and it triggers something in me because on reddit that was always a red flag of upvote bots or whatever cheating they used. I don’t think people use those here, but there’s also no bots that comment garbage.
Bazell@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Well, bots exist here also as far as I know, but, agree, not in the enormous amounts as on Reddit. And here there is no karma farming so people have less need to get approval. Also, I suppose, that author of this post meant posts that do not even require comments like memes.
theedqueen@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I was thinking probably fewer bots too
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Don’t sort by top if you want a high comment/upvote ratio. There are very good posts in the “Active” section with lots of upvotes.
UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I comment 2
jxk@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
If you only look at posts with the most upvotes, that’s what you get. If you look at posts with the most comments, you’ll see a completely different ratio.
Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 2 weeks ago
You mean one thousand upvotes and a comment? Lol I think the most upvote I have ever seen on a post was like 12k.
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Apparently, it’s a little over 7k and it’s about beans. I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans
expatriado@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
that post happened during the time Lemmy had the most active users, so there is that
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Is that what kicked off the beans era? That was some good times.
