Top posts on Lemmy have something like 10 billion upvotes, but only 7 comments.

Why?
Edit: fixed the meme.
Apparently, it's a little over 7k and it's about beans. I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans
that post happened during the time Lemmy had the most active users, so there is that
Also during the time Lemmy was most excited about beans. One of the golden ages, to be sure.
Its depressing that I'm living through another golden age... Last time it was reddit, before that it was msn messenger. I can't even remember what was before that. Probably chisels and slabs of rock.
There was also the can't poop guy
Let us not forget the I can't poop for three days guy. That was just after the reddit api fiasco and helped cement Lemmy's capacity for collective comedy.

What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse?
During the initial reddit migration, Lemmy/Kbin had a larger active userbase than it does now. It fell off a bit after a little while, though its slowly creeping back up there with a more committed community.
But basically there were more users to upvote beans at that point

Is that what kicked off the beans era? That was some good times.
I see the same, top all time post with 8112 upvotes
I wonder if it has anything to do with what instances your instance is federated with
That is exactly what it has to do with
Do instances count votes differently or separately? I don't even know.
Yeah, it's sort of an odd part of the threadiverse. Every instance calculates based on what they're notified of which means the age of the server along with what other instances it's federated with impacts the count

Why do we need to comment on everything? Some things I just agree/like, no comment
Exactly. If we son't have anything to add besides what the upvote/downvote is already saying, we'd get endless "Same", "This", and "No" types of comments.
This!
Same

Less controversial comments that compel people to respond and argue with?
Larger portion of mature people on lemmy that can't be bothered with bait?
Vote button is easy.
People keep saying “lemmy is dying Bluesky is dying” but maybe it’s the fact that the people who migrated to those sites were already burned on social media and know better than to start arguments on the internet.
How many times you guys start writing a comment and after some words just say:
Fuck it...
App: Are you sure? > Discard
?

Commenting draws attention to yourself, which invites scrutiny and judgement. An upvote is (mostly) anonymous.
Also, upvotes take way less effort, always going to be more of those (unless a fight breaks out in the comments or something)
It's well-known that there are levels of engagement with content, with fewer people doing the more involved things. Most people just scroll past everything. Single digits percentage upvote posts. Fewer go into the comments, and again maybe 10% of those participate in comments. The ratio of every level is different on different platforms, but it's there.
For platforms with pretty quick flow like Reddit and Lemmy, the ratio naturally falls off hard. Something like Hacker News rewards slower and more thoughtful engagement with content and threads, so I'd guess they have a larger share of active commenters — although OTOH you don't quite want to show up with mindless predictable comments like prevalent here.
Prior to bots, Reddit observed on many occasions the 90% rule:
90% of users just scrolled
Of the ones remaining, 90% only voted
Of the ones remaining, only 90% left comments
And finally, 90% of those left never posted.
So, it's expected to have 10x more votes than comments. Also I've never seen a post with more than like 1500 votes lol
No need to add anything if it's already perfect.
The worst is that one of those comments is me, adding nothing to the conversation saying "same bro lmao"

...perhaps the introverts are smarter than the fucks on reddit?..
Reddit has more bots arguing back and forth to encourage humans to engage.

No comment needed if it's that good.
Share an example or two?
on reddit there was a lot of bot generated commentary. like yes, bots posting comments but also users who wouldn't have commented getting pulled into a "discussion" by a bot comment.
Less bots maybe? I've noticed this too and it triggers something in me because on reddit that was always a red flag of upvote bots or whatever cheating they used. I don't think people use those here, but there's also no bots that comment garbage.
