They make a ton of posts but we don't have enough commenters to hit all of them. What few comments they do get are spread out across different posts so there's no back and forth conversation, engagement dies.

Make sure you're logged in while you do it, pretty sure most Fediverse software will refuse to fetch remote content if you aren't logged in (to prevent abuse of resources)
I'm using a mix, mostly KDE Plasma but a few of the apps from GNOME (such as the Files app). For my dad he's gonna stay on GNOME for sure, it should be a bit simpler for him and he hasn't had any complaints, he's been on it for a month or so. One day we'll need to try to convince my mom to give Linux a shot lol.
If I had to pick myself without being able to mix, I'd choose Plasma
Yea, bot posts screw up our posts:comments ratio
