a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

There was a trick to replying to an already popular post, which basically involved picking a comment where replies to that comment were still visible instead of buried behind a button.

Then just keep your comment relevant and try to add something with it. And don't be an asshole, or if you can't manage that, at least try to be a popular kind of asshole, while keeping in mind that what is popular can vary from community to community.

Yeah, I did that some, but I always felt weird posting a comment without checking to see if someone else already said it, and I wasn't going to read 1000 comments.
