You are not expected to read every comment, and certainly not expected to reply to every one. Some lessons have dozens, and reading them all would take longer than the course.
Try this rhythm instead: comment once, reply twice. Share your own takeaway on a lesson, then reply to two other people. It takes a few minutes, it helps you integrate what you just learned, and it means nobody's comment sits there alone.
@mention people so they hear you. When you reply to someone, type @ and start typing their name, then click their name when it appears. Skip that step and they may never know you replied -- and knowing that a comment was seen makes a difference to the person who wrote it.
Find your way back to your own comment. Every comment has its own web address. Click the timestamp on your comment and bookmark the page it takes you to -- that link goes straight back to your comment, however many comments arrive after yours.
On lessons that hold a YouTube video, posting a comment refreshes the page and restarts the video. Note roughly where you are before you post, so you can pick the video back up.
Adding a video to your comment? Upload it to YouTube as unlisted and paste the link. Please do not use the plus button to upload the video file itself -- that fills up the course platform's video storage.
In a group forum, a post only shows one comment until you click the comments button. Click that button to open the rest, and you can sort by newest, oldest, or top.
Love the caring notion in commenting. It's much better to be a loved comment rather than a lonely comment.
@Stephanie Morrison indeed! Thank you for being one of the caring ones 🤗
@Stephanie Morrison I love this Stephanie, it really keeps connection alive.
