One thing I just noticed about this place is that posts get a lot of engagement, but there aren't a ton of posts. That means there are a lot of lurkers, but not enough posters.
So if you just came here from reddit, start posting!
There are lurkers but many of the active commenters are frankly just more active in voting and commenting. Lemmy has much more engagement than Reddit for commenters because it's a small community and the way comments are default sorted. You don't need to make a comment early to end up on the top of the thread. You just need to get about two up votes and it'll put you at the top. If what you said is worthwhile then you'll get a lot more after that
Edit: one of the benefits of this is it encourages high quality late comments. On Reddit those would largely get ignored, but here engagement like that is encouraged.
yeah the way replies to comments are displayed is a little funny, and it's not very intuitive trying to find new posts, I set it to filter by new and it'll have a 7 month old post at the top, and a 3 day old post right under it and shit
