I've turned into a forum lurker even though I am a new member. I want to interact more but I find it difficult to. I'm a slow reader and find I have little time to read so it can sometimes take me a good while to get through a book, so unless I post that I am reading the same book over and over again, I have little to say 😂
I look at the forum on mobile, which isn't always the best way to see everything but, I will probably continue to use mobile anyway.
I came to forums because I dislike Facebook so much, it's a toxic environment.
I am on another forum and tend to be more active on that, it isn't a book forum. On that forum there is a bit more image sharing (mainly on topic, off topic ones tend to be minimal and go in off topic sections). You can react with a like to posts also. Sometimes it is little things like that that can encourage more interaction.
Anyway, instead of telling others how to encourage more activity, I think I shall instead endeavour to become a more active member by posting more and getting better acquainted with navigating the forum.
