    Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…

      Well the same page lists comments per day for the same period as 11,083,555. A ratio of 5.27 comments per post seems fine.

        Yeah, a ratio means nothing if the bulk of the comments are only on a small portion of the posts. If 90% of the posts have 0 comments and the other 10% have 52.7 comments per post, that’s worth knowing.

      The content will bring in users. I try to comment on interesting topics to help drive engagement.

        This is my thoughts as well. I’ve noticed that once one or two people express interest in a post, it tends to get much more traffic

      Hey! Some of those posts with no comments are me posting pictures of cute bugs that I took! I’m not a bot, I’m just not very interesting.
