I see more and more posts that are just a link to a video, post, or article. There’s no text in the description.

I’d like to see some of the article quoted and/or a brief reason this is currently being posted to Lemmy.

When it’s just a link, the cynical part of me thinks it’s just an SEO bot—especially if the account never posts any comments.

What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?

Or should I just ignore, downvote, and/or block those doing this kind of posting?

      Or “I thought you guys might find this interesting”

      How often do you want me to type “I thought this was interesting.”

      Then don’t type it.

      But do type what comes after the “because”!

      ( “I thought this was interesting BECAUSE" ) this guy is just so funny

      hey, let’s talk about it

      look, she did it again! LOL
