Something to try

One thing I really don't like seeing is posts with few replies. On some of them, it's due to length, others due to the difficulty of the question, others simply unlucky. It's something that really gets me so I thought I'd suggest something to whoever sees this, and watch if it works?

The main way, I think, that posts get seen is simply via the community pages. They show the last active post. I think what ends up happening is that a post may not have any responses at the beginning, so it just gets pushed further down and down the list. You can help combat this! Even if you don't know the answer, don't have the time to really engage with what they're saying, choose a color heart:ย ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’– and post it.

You're doing more than just showing your support- you're actively allowing this post to reenter circulation. That way, people whom the post connects with will find it and be able to respond, or the post-er will at least have a ton of hearts in their mailboxย ๐Ÿ’™

It doesn't take too long, so hopefully we can all do this a little more? Replying to help the right people find the post is one of the best things you can do for a memberย ๐Ÿ’™ thanks for reading!

ย I have noticed one more thing: there are a lot of posts authors actually don't want to be replied. Very often they allegedly looking for help, friends, listeners,ย  soulmatesย  etc. and just dissappear without a trace. May they seek for just attention or a one-second urge to say something to this world?.. I still don't know, but it devalues their needs and sometimes the needs of people who are really looking for support.

@RedOceanSun I think itโ€™s important we try anyway ๐Ÿ™‚ and I think sometimes people just donโ€™t reply in words, but they heart their replies or reach out on their own. Either way, I would hate to be someone who posted for any reason and received not even a heart back ๐Ÿ˜ž

Hi, This is incredibly important and I would say that I am guilty of not scrolling through enough posts or not even opening any section other than chats on some days.

Thank you for bringing this up, that is very thoughtful of you. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค๐Ÿค๐Ÿค

@4Angy we all have a lot going on, youโ€™re not guilty of anything ๐Ÿ™‚ the point of this is that on those days where you donโ€™t have the time, you can still help those people through your hearts ๐Ÿ’™

Thanks for the reply btw, it really helps ๐Ÿ˜Š
