Are some questions here just to simulate activity? (palaver.p3x.de)

Sometimes I can't tell whether a question here is genuine and the author is interested in the answers, or whether they just copy-paste something to keep people busy. How am I supposed to approach that?

I think about this a lot too. There are a lot of people on Lemmy who just post and never replied to any comments. They're not invested.

On the other hand, some people are very invested in what they post.

I roll the dice, and I see what happens every time, but I hope that people are having good conversations and get some reward from their engagement
