Is lack of engagement a thing on Bluesky, or am I just doing this wrong? Still trying to figure this out.

I recently picked up your LEGACY because of connecting with you here on Bluesky

It takes time. What do you want from this forum? Maybe drop some verbal gems on thoughts about the power of poetry? Words With Wings gives one hope. Just saying.

You can control what you post, expressing your thoughts and opinions. Ex. How important is poetry to children? What topics of poems help support a child's view of him or herself? What about adults? What are your thoughts on literacy? Etc just the rambling thoughts of a retired elementary librarian

Ok, a long time. A lot depends on what you want to say. One author I know comments on politics and home. You could find groups to follow and comment on a post. Maybe you'll get a response. I like to post about books I read or are reading on #booksky. There are a lot of various book sites or groups.

So I'm wondering if I need to post different things on different feeds? Hmmm. Thanks for your thoughts.
