If you sort by “active” there should be posts with more comments. The “hot” sorting is not really representative for how active users on lemmy are, since it favours younger posts over older posts with lots of comments. You can read the details of the reasoning here .

Thanks for making me aware of c/worldbuilding! It’s nice to see more niche communities growing.

Maybe they were testing the waters first. Now that there is backlash, it was a “bug”.
