I have imagined that ever since the Reddit emigration hype ended and things settled down a bit here that the vast majority of world and shit users are mostly lurkers and not terribly vocal, as is the case on a lot of other platforms.
Well Hexbear also had a policy of not showing down votes to encourage users to respond if they disagree instead of just down voting and moving on.
That's very ironic given that they ban anyone further left than "Capitalist Russia is the best country in the world! Let's support their invasion of Ukraine for no reason! Ughur genocide fake by the way! Is not so bad that Stalin banned being gay."
It's not that they don't show downvotes only, you literally cannot downvote on Hexbear.
Yep, I agree, same goes for Lemm.ee and other "generalist" instances. Those attracted the most people from Reddit as they required the least knowledge before-hand of Lemmy and aimed at replicating Reddit in some ways.
More niche communities tend to be more active per user if they are well established, with Hexbear as a prime example.
