Lack of back-and-forth in the comments on the sub

I'm a decently active commenter on this sub; whenever I am here, I sort by new and respond to posts with little to no replies when the specific angle/insight/advice I have hasn't been shared.

My experience has been that, more often than not, there is no reply from the OP, even when my comment is directly asking a question. No clarifying questions, no answers or sharing additional info, nothing. I'm questioning if there is a point to this and if the comments are even being read. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the posts I commented on were made by bots, but I think most were real. There are times where I can see why there is no reply, and others where I question if OP is even looking for help at all. I'm not here to cast judgement, it's just that my experience herehas led me to question this.

So I'm posting this to start a discussion. What's the experience of other users here like? Do you get replies? if you have made posts, have you replied to the comments? Why/why not? I'm seeking to understand this, not necessarily change it.

Still, I regret nothing. I'll probably move to HG discord, I feel like that place is more interactive and effective, but I don't think my time has been wasted here. What are your experiences with HG discord?
