At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven't even been on lemmy that long.

Call me old fashion but the best system was and is good old forum. Posts and comments are order by posting date. No points, no bumps, just a regular timeline.

As for the lurkers, I still believe that removing Lemmy Social Score would cause more people to engage.

Whats this social score? I didnt think lemmy had a karma system, honestly i bet mine is terrible.

I use sync if that makes a different.

most forums had bump rules. any new comment jumped a post back to the top, like 4chan.

Not the good old 90s forums. You could stick the post but all posts and comments were displayed in chronological order.
