    I’m more motivated to participate when there’s fewer comments. On Reddit I often refrained from commenting when I noticed the other commenters already covered the point I wanted to make.

      Don’t forget karma whoring, where your comments will be invisible to the algorithm and you seem to talk to an empty wall, while one liners and easy jokes are at the top.

      Or someone with the same opinion as yours will start argue with you because you said it in a different way that they don’t agree with.

      Same here. Even subs (instances? communities? still figuring out the lingo, sorry) are so quiet I’m even posting actual posts. Or on news posts, I have a question about the content where on reddit someone will have already asked and I can just see what responses or vitriol they got.
