Why are most subs so utterly dead (devoid of comments) and how to fix it?

I'd bet that there are less than 1,000 people regularly reading and probably less than 500 active participants and commenters.

SearchVoat was a nice site statistic resource that daily posted total comments, commenters, comments by sub, and all of that. Were around 1,800 to 2k daily commenters before the Qtard invasion.

If I wasn't clear, my comment was aimed toward this site (and also poal).

This site's most populous sub has 39,000 subscribers, but very few comments and votes. I suspect that there aren't more than 1000 people actively on the site and less than 500 commenting and voting on a regular basis. I mostly lurk here a couple of times a week for a few minutes, then move on.

Poal is extremely small even in comparison to this site, let alone reddit. Poal's most active sub is a Q sub, with 800 subscribers. Most subs have more like 200. Other than the Q subs, news, and politics, very little active engagement with the site. A handful of new posts a day, and only a small number of votes or comments (other than the Q subs, news, and politics).

Voat had much more active engagement, at least. The Q people had a number of extremely active groups with lots of new posts, comments, and votes. They did tend to stick to those locations, but over time they chased people off.

Like I said, it's hard to get true numbers. Those are just my own anecdotes.

I mentioned searchvoat because it was a nice solution to you wondering exactly how many are active or commenting here. I would love to see that kind of info for saidit.

On poal, don't take the sub numbers too seriously. Most of us browse s/all. The "Q" subs are pretty inactive in comparison to other subs, which again is separate from subscriber numbers.

Back on voat in the final year, at least half or more of activity on QRV was people calling out or mocking the Qtards. On poal, the most activity from Qultists you see now is from literal Q-shills, which are extremely likely to be some kind of paid or professional shills to keep the hoax going. GodsAngell (sp) and rikki6 (sp) simply can't be real people thinking the things they claim. ("Trump is going to retake office on March 21st!")

CHIRO is the resident brainiac on poal. There used to be more smarties on voat, but like the tower of babel, everyone was dispersed across the lands.

They did tend to stick to those locations, but over time they chased people off.

It was a contest on voat between the pathetically weak-minded Qews, and the trolls of SBBH to drive the most users to other sites. And of course Puttitout helped a lot with that reappearance where he divided users into "Builders", and essentially nogoodniks. But the so called builders were the ones causing issues in the first place...
