Yes... 6 & 7 sort of tie together. No feedback is negative feedback when you're trying to make something happen. A lot of people show up not understanding the need to engage in order to really be seen. They just post notes & eventually give up. It doesn't help that "engagement" is a confusing set of ethics around here... I've grown to appreciate it, but if someone new doesn't understand the "societal norms", I'm sure that leads to a lot of misunderstanding about how their content/notes are being recieved. 😅

And now you have a sort of 2-5 follower hurdle to being seen, because otherwise your notes are often surpressed.
It seems like a difficult thing to convey compactly, but might help people to understand.
The welcome wagon does a decent job of mitigating that. I think low retention comes later when everyone goes back to their normal business.
#adoptanewb ...that's my tactic... I pick one & try to answer all their questions, engage with their stuff, etc. It's probably weird to some but it's worked out with a few 😂
