However, I oftentimes find myself doom scrolling through reddit, just because of some nonsense BS propaganda, ads, etc .., snuck inbetween of the community posts I'm actually interested in.

How can we convince the people over there to move away?

That is what I already do. But I feel like there isn't much going on. Tbh, I'm more of a passive than active participant. Never been a "karma whore".

I mostly scroll through the feed and chime into topics where I feel I can contribute to.

That's good too but maybe consider lowering your bar on what it takes to "contribute".

I have left many simple comments that have led to someone chiming in with something insightful that they may not have commented otherwise

Gonna have to change that. There's no such thing as karma here so there's no whoring. Be the change you want to be. I was the only poster in many communities before they started taking off. Lemmy follows the 90-9-1 rule, and you have to be the 1
