It seems like a lot of people don't post or at least don't post on smaller communities like [email protected]

Because I have nothing to share that I find important enough. I'd rather comment on something

@gerryflap Yeah it seems a lot more people are willing to comment over post, it's nice to see people are a little active.

I think we should cherish commenting too.

Creating posts is not the only way of making engagement. Even though it's better than having a community of 0 posts, I still would be sad to look at a community that has one new post daily but doens't get any votes or comments.
Within time not getting engagement can become demoralizing to the content creator. Why bother if you don't get anything in return? (Been there, felt that - and in many occasions.)
