On Reddit I generally didnβt read attached articles. Iβd developed a pretty good intuition where the article title, website and top comments could tell me all I needed to know (And reading the source normally confirmed this)
On Lemmy the smaller numbers of comments mean we need to engage with the content being discussed more directly, which is quite a nice change of pace for us Reddit converts.
The trick for older, active posts is to start commenting under the top comments instead of making a top level comment yourself. That way, youβre seen by most people who donβt sort comments by new.
