      Fediverse doesn’t promote posts based on comment engagement though, does it?

        You might consider that Lemmy isn’t the only social media in the world where images are posted.

        Especially since this is a screenshot from Instagram.

            No it didn’t, there is a difference between implication and your assumptions. My “here you are” is me saying the bait worked, not that it has an effect here.

            Also, just so you’re aware: comments do play a part in the algorithm here on Lemmy. Specifically the “Active” sort.

        Not here, but this is a screenshot from a video, likely from a platform where there is something to gain.
