does anyone else feel like it is getting harder to build a real community on facebook ?

Hi,
I have been managing a facebook page and one thing I have noticed is that getting followers is not always the hardest part. The bigger challenge is getting people to actually join the conversation. A post can get plenty of likes but a very few people leave comment to share their own thoughts.
It feels like people are more willing to scroll rather than interact even when the content is relevant.
Have you found any simple changes that encourages people for genuine conversation of facebook without asking to like, comment and share ?
Yeah there is more competition and people have become accustomed to not interact at all unless you have premium quality content. So yes it is harder to get people join the conversation.
 
opics that call for action or offer a counter-perspective tend to attract attention and generate more engagement; try asking a question or raising a topic that invites interaction and gives people space to share their own views.
 
maybe just try to post the content that in the conversation based form to recruit them discuss on the comment, or maybe create a group to recruit the right audiences to that group is okey too
 
Indeed, many Facebook Page and Group administrators have shared this sentiment in recent years. However, the reason isn't necessarily that Facebook "no longer supports communities," but rather that the way the platform prioritizes content distribution has changed.
 
You can pose discussion questions for your post.
 
Posts that ask for people's opinions tend to generate more discussion than posts that only share information. I've also found that replying to the first few comments helps keep the conversation going and encourages more people to join in.

End your post with a binary choice scenario that hits a highly relatable niche habit or frustration, and always drop the first comment yourself to break the ice and trigger their natural urge to express their own stance.
 
Yeah man, I feel you. :)
Likes come easy but getting people to actually comment and chat is way harder these days.

What worked for me is making posts more like real questions. Instead of just dropping content, I started writing stuff like “Has anyone else dealt with this? What do you think?” or sharing a quick personal story and asking for their experiences.

People open up more when it feels like a conversation, not an ad. Also short videos and polls help a lot without begging for comments.
If you want faster help, check out Fourerr. Everything starts from like $4 there, way cheaper than Fiverr, etc.. and there are guys who do Facebook engagement and content.

Might be worth a look if you don’t wanna figure it all out yourself.
 
I think people reply more when they feel their view matters not just reacting
 
the best engagement usually comes from creating posts that naturally invite opinions or personal experiences
asking open ended questions sharing relatable stories and replying to comments can encourage more genuine conversations.
