If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)

I've been a lurker on Rəddit for almost a decade, but I've never been on such a commenting spree as I've been in the past couple of weeks.

Back on there, I was maybe, posting comments once a week on the average. There might be spurts of activity as I get involved in a discussion, but that usually happens once every a couple of months. In contrast, here, I've made a couple of hundred comments in just less than twenty days. That's more comments than I would have ordinarily made in half a year over on the other side.

Also, while my posting over on the other side isn't stellar, only having made a handful of posts over my nearly a decade over there, here, I've already made three--not much, but still way a lot more activity than I'm used to. I find commenting and engaging with others in threads a lot easier than starting my own thread. It's kinda scary.

Having said all that, I think what is needed here is not just "more content" but more quality and engaging content. While a dead community where no one's talking is bad, I also hate to see communities devolve into spamming sessions in effort to push up activity.

EDIT: Added a word for clarification.
