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.

    Personally I think it’s because Lemmy users tend to lean towards an older/more mature audience; and that crowd tends to comment less often in general.

      I’m young and sometimes I refrain from commenting because either A) I don’t have any experience on the subject or B) There’s too many adults and the discussions are book chapters long.
