interaction

[kossai]

something which do miss from cohost right now - most days would wake up to see that posts from day before have some form of interaction . not that numbers is what aim for , but just know that people around and people acknowledge , right ?
but do not really get that here unless people comment , and ... comments tend to be more rare , even on places like cohost which explicitly try to encourage .

and can understand that , really - not everything warrant discussion and chip in with thoughts , necessarily . or there might be cases in which just do not know enough about subject to try and put together comment , so would prefer stay quiet .
but ... still miss that ability for people to quickly acknowledge .

of course also understand this is not part of dreamwidth design features for good reason , so not to say that dreamwidth should change . guess just sort of adjustment pains - and feel sort of like hypocrite when kossai also do not comment very much .
maybe should test out little heart comments or something ...? or even , people who miss this kind of feature could make little comment policies - if OK to leave these kind of " pseudo-likes " , just hearts or single words or whatever .

Comments

I am having this exact same kind of adjustment pains, yeah. This is partially why I've been spending so much more time commenting and reading things instead of saying things. I've missed also being able to comment on people's posts when they're showing up in my feed from like, personal websites or non-DW platforms. Frustrating when they're folks I don't really feel I know well enough to try to get discord contact info or something, but I do feel like I have useful/fun things to say, or want to tell them how their post has sparked my thinking.
