Ok really dumb question (this was an issue for me with Reddit during the before time as well): I seem to only notice threads that have existed for a while, so I normally see something similar to what I would have said already posted as a comment. Should I be using Lemmy differently, to see younger threads?

You get more engagement on Lemmy than on Reddit, even if you don't comment in the first 3h. Probably due to sorting, probably due to lower numbers, but even the silliest comment will get at least a few reactions.

You can really tell it's made by socialists who hate accumulation and want to give everyone a chance.

Lemmy on its web interface has a sorting option called scaled sorting. Which allows to bring up rising threads that are a few hours old.

Note: not all mobile apps have integrated scaled sorting. So you need to do some investigation.

…and reading further in the comments says sort by new, but I’m already doing that lol
