🌸Johannes🌸Seems like most ppl I'm following here are just cross posting and not interacting.
Honestly haven't been around here for a while, but plan to stick around.
Just not sure how I want to use this space yet.
What is your approach to this?
Bez@jfoolsguard I cross post but also try to reply to everyone and occasionally have a skim of what others are saying
Grayson@jfoolsguard I try and do three things:
1) I try and post something 5 out of 7 days, and reply to anything that looks interesting and I might have a question about.
2) I try and follow a new person (also) 5 of the 7 days a week.
3) If I catch someone both cross-posting AND not interacting, I unfollow unless I have a super good reason and I make a note in their account.
Life is too short and there are plenty of interesting people here so I don't feel a need to support that behavior...

bignoseA good approach @jfoolsguard is to start out not by following individuals but following hashtags.
See which ones attract the good-quality conversations. Participate there if you want, cross-pollinate to other relevant hashtags as appropriate.
Then, once you've gathered more longitudinal data, follow whoever is long-term interesting to you.
Patrick@jfoolsguard I used to be really active on Twitter and (to a lesser degree) Facebook, but I slowly fell away and felt disconnected for a long time. I hopped on here and Bluesky (have some invites if you want one) in the hope it would help me re-engage.
So far I have mostly been posting about board games I have played, which, to be fair, is an improvement on the social media wilderness I found myself in. I find myself writing replies then deleting them, mainly because I don't think my input is needed.
I probably need to follow more people (something I keep forgetting to do) and start replying to more posts, though replying to people I'm not connected to still feels a bit strange.
@TearsInRain @jfoolsguard "whats the worst that can happen? They don't respond? You're not out for any loss if that's the case."
