Engagement is not karma. If you’re really into conversations, you should try to reach as many people as possible to get as many views as possible. Or are you content speaking to the same three people all the time?
Instead they want to prevent brigading (see my other comment with the screenshot, not sure how we can brigade with 54000 monthly active users on the whole platform), and remove threads mentioning Lemmy that become too popular: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39151408?scrollToComments=true
The problem with that idea is that once you reach a certain number of people you stop getting diverse views and just get the same type of views over and over. Large groups on a platform like Reddit prioritise fast and popular responses. Quick quips and memes posted by people who are spending all day scrolling will drown out any sort of reasoned argument that takes time to type and participation by people who only log in occassionally.
If all they are interested in is maximum engagement, let them stay on Reddit!
I’m here for community and real conversations, not “karma”

Idk. I’m don’t measure quality with engagement. A lot of my better Reddit conversations were in smaller communities
/r/BuyFromEU has 167000 subscribers. They could have a pinned post with content similar to this one (https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1j0xkqa/lemmy_as_an_alternative_to_reddit_using/) to at least make people aware of the existence of Lemmy.

By the way, I see you are on populi, isn’t the CSS broken for you at the moment? https://sopuli.xyz/post/23813390?scrollToComments=true
Not at all.
Thanks for sharing, I’ll investigate
