There are some communities where the vast majority of posts are by on or two users reposting news articles.

Sometimes they’ll summarize below, but they will almost never share their opinions on the article, or even just ask what others may think about in regards to this aspect or that aspect. So the entire feed is just URLs.

I would feel more engaged to comment on those posts, or even start a post in the community, when it doesn’t feel like a bunch of robots reposting the daily slop.

    I disagree. There are some communities I go to specifically for the discussion. If I’m reading news, I want it as un-biased as possible. I don’t care what the OP’s views on the subject are; I just want to know what’s going on in the world. If I’m reading news on Lemmy, it’s because I’d rather see relevant articles here than try to wade through a pile of bullshit on a major news service about what famous person is fucking who.
