I was wondering if people like these, because I see a lot of them on my feed in Hot and while they can be interesting, they all tend to have 0 comments on them, whereas lemmy posts will always have more.

I think I would like the posts more if people did comment on them, for example AITA, ELI5 and a few others don’t really function as well without them.

    I agree with you.

    I think a lot of the value and entertainment of these text/story-based communities comes from seeing other commenters interact with the post and with each other.

    Some of the bots are putting out too much primary content for the number of users in that community. I think they should limit the posts to 1-2/day so that viewers can get concentrated onto those posts and hopefully generate some comments. As the population grows, more posts can be done per day by the bot, or ideally, switch to actual people submitting posts.
