Ed HeilThe hard part for any toki pona enthusiast is managing to talk *in* toki pona more than you talk *about* toki pona. #tokipona
@edheil for example mentioning the mistaken "li" I put in a recent post twice
@nena_esun mi sona ^^^^^^^
Russ SharekI find it's way easier to talk about concrete things in person.
@RussSharek Oh absolutely, tp needs context and the online world lacks context, so it's a super sub-optimal place for it. I sometimes think of providing hints as to what I'm talking about in hashtags in English. I wonder if that's a useful practice to provide (at least for English speakers) a little anchor to use as a starting point for interpreting a tp text?
I find I tend to provide translations in threads as I go. Hashtags also help, as do other context clues like images, etc.
socksi experienced the same with #esperanto when i was in it. i feel like it's a fairly common trend with most conlangs. it's hard to find things to discuss other than the language because it's interest in the language itself which brings us in contact in the first place.
the thing with #tokipona which i really enjoy is that it's kinda like a game.
