The comment section is part of the content

The comment section is part of the content
Most people treat comments as exhaust — a by-product of publishing. That is backwards. For a lot of readers the comments are the reason they come back, and sometimes they are better than the post.
Think about what a good thread does. It adds the cases you did not cover, corrects what you got wrong, and shows a reader that other people who do this work also show up here. None of that is available from the post alone.
Which means it deserves actual effort:
— Read every comment, including the ones you will not answer.
— Pull the best contribution into a future post, credited by what was said.
— Answer the boring questions. The people asking them are deciding whether this is a place where questions get answered.
— Let disagreement stand. A section where everyone agrees is a section nobody trusts.
Publishing is a monologue. The comments are why anyone stays.
