I know what you mean. We put so much effort into creating posts that we forget to visit and look for each other's posts. They really need a chat room on here. I'm not a fan of discord channels. It's difficult to figure out for me.
I like ginny, she's a hoot
sir witty-waiter! yeah the discord channel is confusing to me also and I use it everyday! but I still hit the wrong thing and get lost.
have you checked out steemit.chat? steemit's chatroom?
I haven't used it but I hear quite a few people mention it.
