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
Curating a good subscribed-view takes awhile, but my personal feed is really nice by now. Highly suggest skimming through profiles of people to see where they comment and post to find good communities!
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.
I've had a few days the last week or so where I was questioning if my posts were federated properly because it was silent. There's usually a couple of regulars that toss a couple comments on everything, so it felt really odd.

What still confuses me a little are the posts that get upvoted and invite interaction but still end up without any comments. The upvotes indicate there's others presumably interested and yet no one else seems to know enough/have enough interest to comment. I get not knowing enough, so I hope it's more of that than a lack of interest, even if it's still disappointing.
For posts that don't really request knowledge but opinions or advice, it's interesting to see them left alone when elsewhere you can see people more than willing to share their views.
I think that’s down to low population, and people «doing their part» just upvoting anything. In time this might change, but lack or interaction is why most just leave again
