Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

    You may have noticed something different about our daily thread!

    People haven’t always had things to talk about each day, threads weren’t posted each day so new conversations often started on old threads, and in general having daily threads didn’t seem to be necessary. So the new format will be a weekly thread, this will be pinned in the [email protected] community so you can always find it, and we can have conversations there that we were previously having on the daily threads.

    Roughly each week (no specific day) I’ll create a new thread, pin it and unpin the old one, and we will start fresh for that week(ish).

      Thanks, this makes sense. Would also help keep longer conversations going (one of the issues with the daily threads being that you were less inclined to go back to an older thread to check for new comments).

        If you’re on the web UI, you can choose to view comments instead of posts. Order by New under Local and you can see every new comment being made in a local community!

        Also works on All but a bit more crazy to follow there 😆

      Yay, this will stop me having to click around so much when I miss a few days and am wondering what you’re all up to.

      I like it, this solves the problem of nobody making the thread on the weekends, and also less clutter in the instance feed.
