That many comments really does make a difference. Still, next time you see something cool online consider submitting it? It's not as bad here as you might think.

What if I don't look anywhere else online?

Do you only comment in images of some sort?

No, that one just felt appropriate.

I didn't even comment for a long time because of the requirement to use a real email instead of disposable. I didn't even have a real email on Reddit and I created that account long after it was popular (but before they required real email accounts). Imo Lemmy cracked down on potential fake accounts too soon and it is costing them growth.

Registration, especially requiring legitimate credentials is a huge barrier for many people who would otherwise post.

I’m sorry but I don’t really see it being that much of a hurdle with services like SimpleLogin where you can activate an address, create an account and then deactivate it again. Or am I wrong here?

Lemmy.world's faq claims they will ban you when they eventually find out you used a service like that.
