It just isn't the same on here. The way the karma worked on reddit, default sorted top comments, and just the little things like that made it really feel like a community.
I see the communities are more an index. Like if I want to see all the posts about a specific topic, I can go to a comm instead of trolling through all/main
It takes time to realise that this is not reddit and to train your brain into different habits, in particular to getting used to a slightly different sort algorithm and slightly different ways of interpreting/using the site.
You need to not see it as reddit and stop wishing for it to be identical to reddit. Once you get past that and learn to use it as its own thing entirely, a leftist thing, a different thing and in many ways massively more enjoyable and better -- then you start to engage with it in a completely different way entirely.
Give it a week or two of actively engaging. You'll see.
Give it some time, this site is fairly new still. I've already noticed incremental improvements in the few months that I've been here, and I've no reason to believe things won't continue to improve further.
Keep posting in the different communities. They actually do engage more than you think. Food in particular is my go to for posting.
Alright, I've read all of your feedback, and I will give it another try. Maybe a new feature that could be implemented could be a reply-all for the OP? Where each person who commented gets a notification?
