Is commenting for engagement boost a thing?

This is incredible and I never could have imagined it. This will democratize the power of programming

Comments impact some of the lemmy sorting algorithms such as active.

Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).

Yeah active is currently the default sort in programming.dev until scaled sort comes out so commenting helps the most out of everything here

Default sort is a profile setting too though so many may have overridden that.
