Yeah, I get it. My reddit account is 12 years old and in that time I made 2-3 dozen comments and just a handful of posts (most of those about Eve Online).

a group of people just start forcing themselves to respond to others

This has basically been my approach since I started moderating these communities. When I see a new user make a post, I make sure to check out the series and engage with it in some way. Since forcing myself to do that, I can at least say it was the final push I needed to drop some bad series to make room for some good ones people posted about (no more Rent a GF for me anymore!).

I do find myself commenting more on smaller communities, mostly because they're more aligned with my niche interests. And larger communities get toxic really fast; politics and news just get so, so messy.

If I had to guess, half of my posts are just on the MtG instance, which doesn't quite have critical mass for discussion yet.

I should probably tune in for weekly "What are you reading/playing/watching" threads a little more often.
