Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

481 local subscribers! But only like 10 people I see regularly posting.. 🙁

I'll admit I mostly lurk, I find typing and image handling are a pain on a phone. And I only comment if I have something on my mind, so I mostly just reply to interesting things other people say. And often not even that because halfway through slowly (mis)typing on a phone, I realise they likely don't care and it's not really worth it.

But hey, I'm still here!

Oh I agree on the image handling on mobile, actually I find it annoying doing most things on mobile. I usually wait until I'm on laptop or desktop. Unless I'm just commenting, like this!

Yeah I think it's pretty normal for only a small proportion of people to post and comment. I think many of the local users are no longer around, we are a couple of years in so many people have drifted away over that time.
