Why most posts (so far as I can tell) have very short lifespan tendency?
So basically 24 hours after posting, there is almost no contributions coming in, and after another 24h, it’s nearly impossible to see anybody chipping in to the subject in question. Everything goes silent, almost as if it didn’t matter anymore.

I am always worried about replying to "older" threads after being brow-beaten on R×ddit with messages like "Dude, it's been 48 hours. Why are you replying to this?".
Plus the old "don't necro old threads/posts" I'm used to from other sites and forums, as well.
Force of habit after those experiences, honestly.
I'd like to say that Lemmy I'd friendlier than that, but I'd probably be lying.
That's a good point.
Perhaps I could try and see what happens if I include in my posts a notice saying I welcome replies far ahead in the future (I guess thoughtful exchange posts, not simple question ones likely answered to perfection already).
Same for me. Sometimes I run into new communities and I'm itching to respond to a thread, but it's maybe a week old and I don't want to be told off for it.
I'd just reply to it - I've got a good conversation going that way. Same night happen with you.
I think at worst you'd get silence, if you did get someone 'telling you off' the arsehole wouldn't be you
I still get people replying to a 5 year old reddit comment of mine lol. I don't have a problem with it
