Well said. Looks like a great place for a walk too.
Replying to comments is so important. Most people want interaction with their social media. Commenting on posts and replying to comments can create that interaction. As you said, we're not Facebook or Twitter or some huge social platform with millions of users online at any given time. Like they said in the old "punk rock" days, it's your scene, you create it. Commenting and replying to comments is how we create "the scene" on Hive. With a small, tight-knit community, post interaction can be more valuable to some people than an upvote. Especially when you're first starting out here.
I always try to reply to every comment. I still need to make more time to comment on other people's posts though. This was a great reminder.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I’ve noticed that ever since I’ve started posting videos like this regularly, my posts have had a ton more comments. Engaging back and forth makes me even more excited to do my next post everyday.
I think the thing I lack on the most is commenting other people’s posts. I try to do it often, but even if I read an entire post or watch a video, I typically am on to something else after I upvote. It’s just what I’m used to doing. I don’t comment on every YouTube video that I watch either. So I think as long as you’re replying to the ones you get on your posts and occasionally visiting other’s posts when you can, then you’re doing great in my book.
