A random question I'm wondering

[naomikritzer]

If you are on Dreamwidth, how do you use it?

1. Do you post?

2. Do you read other people's posts?

3. Do you comment on other people's posts?

I mainly read, rarely comment, and almost never post. (Obviously it's not NEVER never: behold, a post.) What I'm kind of wondering about is how many of the people whose posts I read post, but do not read. (Of course, they probably won't reply to this!)

Comments

[sraun]

Read lots, comment some, post a little.

[ckd]

Same for me.

[rachelmanija]

I do all three.

[eileenlufkin]

Read a lot, but not always everything, comment only sometimes, never post.

Answers

#1 I post (Mostly on food and movie reviews)
#2 I read other people's posts
#3 I comment on other people's posts

[landofnowhere]

1) Yes, about once a week, though I was a lurker for several years before I started booklogging here.

2) Yes, regularly.

3) Yes.

I do all three, though I’m not as reliable about commenting as I’d like to be, particularly when I’m doing most of my reading on my phone. I try to commit to leaving at least one comment a day, but they’re not exactly evenly distributed.

[adrian_turtle]

I read a lot, comment some, and rarely post.

[cgbookcat1]

I post occasionally, comment sometimes, and read regularly.

[sabotabby]

1. Yes, minimum twice a week.
2. Yes, as much as I can. I check DW twice a day.
3. Again, as much as I can.

Mostly read

[magenta]

I read DW almost every day, reply occasionally, very seldom post.

[profiterole_reads]

Yes to all three. :-)

[sporky_rat]

Read a lot, comment a bit, and try and post when classes aren't eating my brain's abilities for words.

[ellen_fremedon]

I still read every day, comment very little, mostly only post about Yuletide.

[resolute]

I read, post, and comment.

Or I try to!

[yhlee]

1. I post too much.
2. I read almost everything.
3. I comment somewhat, depending on whether I have anything useful/encouraging to say.

[laramie]

I post about once a week, and read at that time - there's not usually a lot to catch up on.

[lcohen]

i am posty mcpostalot, read a lot, and comment when i think i have something to say. there are probably people who would like me to comment, even when i don't have something to say, because it lets them know i'm reading, but it makes me feel awkward. i try to give the same grace and assume people who don't comment are probably still reading at least sometimes.

[elisem]

I post, though not as much as I would like to post. (I miss the continuity of doing that. Life is differently fragments these days.)

I read other people's posts. (That's the other half of the aforementioned continuity. I also keep a hidden post which is a list of people/places to go read, here and elsewhere, which is useful.)

I comment on other people's posts, though not as much as I would like to comment. Closer than I was a while ago, though. (I miss the connection of giving and receiving comments and have made an effort to do so more, and it seems to be helping.)

[lydamorehouse]

I post, I read and comment, but tend to do the latter several days later than the OP. As you can see. I will tend to pick a day of the week and catch up on all my peeps.

[sasha_feather]

1. yes
2. these days I skim. In the past I read closely but with limited energy I have to kind of triage my reading.
3. Sometimes!

[carbonel]

I occasionally post, read consistently, and comment fairly frequently.

[cyllan]

I am tentatively looking to come back to here -- reading, some posting, more commenting. I don't know if it will stick around, but I find this more soothing than any other social community.
