Good ones are hard to find. What I miss from most communities are actual posts that invite interaction. Most of the posts I see are just a link. Not even OP’s take on the link. If there are text its an ai summary of the link like half of the time.
So many posts have 70 upvotes but 0 comments.
Edit: will follow this thread for good ones! The ones that are posted so far looks better
I'm afraid that I have slipped into dropping links without commentary, it's a bad habit to get into, but sometimes I lack the energy or time to personalize my link posts when I have a number of them lined up for my communities :(
I understand, and it works in active communities. Also some are just mirrors for links while discussion happens outside of lemmy. If i want to read hacker news i go there. I dont need bots mirroring the links including links to hn discussion page for the post.
There are god communities, but as i often browse /all i probably should blame myself for having bad content
I think the best way to go is have a suscribed feed for nicheish and low-medium post density communities you like.
And then use the c/all feed as a sort of frontpage thing where you get memes and news and stuff.
