At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.
Call me old fashion but the best system was and is good old forum. Posts and comments are order by posting date. No points, no bumps, just a regular timeline.
As for the lurkers, I still believe that removing Lemmy Social Score would cause more people to engage.
most forums had bump rules. any new comment jumped a post back to the top, like 4chan.
