I found the same about engagement - every post had 5000 comments but only the top 100 could generate actual conversation, everyone else might as well be talking to themselves
I found that was better when I would sort subs by new or rising and comment there. Once something makes it to the front page it's pointless to comment on unless your goal was getting more internet points. Lemmy is much easier to get into conversations just because of how much smaller it is.
