I’ve had it happen that i joined a community and commented in some interesting thread and only then noticed that it was 3 or even 6 months old

Great, thank you!

Clicking the link gives me the following warning:

Yes, i made four, because when i joined Lemmy, everyone seemed to urge new users to spread across the fediverse. So, i did. But over time, i did away with two accounts and am contemplating ditching another one.

I prefer an elaborate description, if appropriate presuming people don’t know much about the topic yet. Bonus points for adding wikis (i don’t think it’s possible in Lemmy for now?) and links. And a friendly tone. Those concise oneliners, to me, feel like; if you don’t understand what this community is for, you are not welcome here anyway.

I noticed that many people commented that there should be more engagement, ‘just like reddit’. So, i’m wondering if some of these people left and will return later to see if it’s more ‘reddit like’. So, those might be people who don’t necessarily want to post and comment themselves, but are waiting until they can get served with an endless stream of posts to scroll through.

Just thinking out loud here.

Thank you so much for caring, well done!
