I have noticed a recent observation in this our local board, and I will like to share it to see if someone else has observed it too, and also so that it can be corrected and an attitude that should be fixed.
Many of us feel that there is a potential to only earn merit from the merit sources here in the local board when you start a topic, not when you engage in another topic or discussion that has already been started. I dey see many topics wey engagements suppose dey, but as we plenty for here, engagements go cun dey few. E nor too good like that.
Let us try engaging in topics created even when we have topics of our own to start.
The more we share our knowledge on topics regarding bitcoin and cryptocurrency, the more many of us learn from each other based on our different perspectives and unique mindsets
Na good observation you drop so but I think engagement on a topic largely depends on the number of users who are interested in it. Even if a topic is interesting, individuals won't engage it if it falls outside their specific interests. People's interests varies so it's natural for engagement to be selective.
Just as Chalse-Tim mentioned na local board be this so engagement no go be like main board own unless when maybe the discussion long and people keep quoting and replying one another.
It's true there are allot of threads that are created every day so the probability of every one commenting on a thread will be hard as there are a whole lot of interesting topics to choose from depending on the interest of the individual involved
Another point that we need to know and consider when it comes to commenting on topics is your ability to know and understand what is being communicated via a thread because if you don't understand fully what someone is talking about it will be difficult for you to comment something reasonable as you don't know what the Op will be trying to communicate to the wider audience
