i've been wondering for a while now.... and an honest answer would really be great.
when it comes to posting comments here in gather, do you limit yourself to friends' posts only or to your group members? or do you check other users posts too and comment on them even if they are not in your friends and group list.
i'm liking gather now, even with all the changes that has been going on. i try to post comments to my friends' post as much as i can, and to those in my groups too... and sometimes i check other users posts and post comment on their post too.
i get bored posting comments on photos, no offence meant here, as sometimes most of them looks the same, and it gets really boring if all i can say to that photo is nice or cute or any one word, really hard to think of anything long to comment on it, so most of the time i just pass by it. if its something different, ill make a comment.
so how about you, how do go about on posting comments here on gather?

i try to comment on photos and videos and post
i cant comment that much on videos, it loads so slowly here...
I myself post to my group posts that I receive in my email and then I look to the right side of the gather page and click on other posts that are 'suggested' posts. I can do this for minutes or hours even, this way it's never by any means boring, seriously try it you might find you'll enjoy all the different subjects. peace, Constance
I find I do that sometimes when a subject really interests me, and I want another perspective.
I find that gather often refers me to another of my own postings, especially with book and movie reviews.
i have never tried yet that looking on the right side, will try it sometimes, its only lately that i am getting really active here. after i go from friends post, i check my group post then interest, sometimes when there is nothing interesting i stopped from there and a lil later go back to friends, groups, and interest again...
I've been wanting to ask this question also!
I comment on posts mostly, rarely photos and never videos.
I stick with whatever friends posts are up on my front page and rarely track anything down.
If someone has been commenting a lot on my postings, then I'll click on the name to see if there's anything there I'd be interested in reading and commenting on.
that is what i am doing also, and lately now since i started getting active here, i started clicking on those post on my interest tab.
I comment on post,videos and pictures. I have always commented on everything.
that is really good of you sally, thank you =)
I do my best to comment on whatever interests me and it's not necessarily, just friends. If someone is having a problem, I like to help, too.
cool, i dont remember if i have come across someone having a problem here, i have other sites where i do posting comments too and i know there i have posted many comments on people having problems.
I comment on all that I have time to view. I find some interesting conversations when I look around.
that is what i see now too, there are many interesting conversations when i look around.
ohhh yeah, your not limitted to pictures only this group has a lot to offer....stories, poetry etc. You could also join another group there are no limit to the amount of groups you are able to join here on 'gather' not as far as I am aware. I am new and I just love it I hope you explore more too....
that is what i am doing now, i have joined some groups but lately have deleted some of it too, because it seems that most members are the same people i am a member of in another group, so i deleted group in my list. i am exploring now also.
I do too, Tammy.
I do comment on people who are not my friends. I comment on interests a lot, I search for things that interest me.
that is what i am doing now... before i only comments on friends post and group post but now i am exploring gather more and clicking on my interest tab and looking for interesting post. sometimes i do the search too.
i comment on all groups...not just mine ......
I wander all over the place, there is just so much to see and read!
i find it like that now, as i have started wandering these couple of days now
I wander everywhere, and comment wherever I find an interest. I do this on other sites, too. I don't see the point in anything but honesty -- why bother?
I use to comment on everything I could. From moderating groups, viewing and or commenting. Plus my friends list and those who gave me comments. I've changed that now. I have always watched my friends feed. I will still do that, and hit what interests me. But I am mainly sticking to commenting to those that give to me. It sounds mean, but with how long these comments boxes take to open. And the new points change. I think my time should be spent. Paying back ones that have taken the time, to check out my stuff. Instead of members, that just flood the groups boards. Not thinking of returning some to those group owners. That were opening, commenting and or rating, everything sent in.
that is ok too and is just right... that is why i have asked this question. i have posted comments on some user here and have received nothing in return, its not like i want them to comment back whenever i comment on their posts, but i feel like am i doing the right thing, spending time on those that dont bother to spend time on mine...?
I do basically the same, I Visit Everyone on Gather and Comment on Posts,Video's & Pictures; that My Time will Allow ( I'm married & have my grandson most of the time ) so,I do Try to say Good Night around 5:30 pm CDT
and; Yes,I Do Visit the ones that give me Comments usually First.
thank you candice.. i cant post comments on videos, because it takes time to load, and slows down my comp. wow, you visit everyone on here, that is really great, i dont think i can do that...
I try to comment on my friends posts, pics, and videos. Lately thougth I've been extremely busy and haven't been able to do much, but I still try to focus mainly on my friends.
i comment on what ever i see that is interesting... sometimes, i just don't have anything to say... there are times that i don't see the stuff that some of my friends have posted... I need to figure out what i need to turn on... to see friends post. *pif
I hit my groups and friends first, then if time allows surf the whole site and comment on anybody. I will admit I'm not doing as much as I did in the past with the new point rules though. I've been exploring other sites instead lately to check them out.
im doing the same thing... but still have not really understood what it is about the points here. i am getting more active here now, and am into other sites too. i go back and forth... and keep gather open as long as i am online
Yeah, since you make hardly any points here now viewing and commenting, I've been spending my time finding new sites instead lately and joined a couple. You seem to make points here now by publishing alone and getting outside views or whatever.... I used to spend all my time here only, but people have been going to other places so I thought I'd see what it was all about too, LOL.
I am still try to stay here but it is hard as I am not awriter..
PIf
I just comment if I have something to say in response to the content I'm viewing.
i comment to whatever comes up in my feed. it's hard to keep up. i get sidetracked a lot but i comment to whatever comes my way.
i go by feed, i go by group, i also just research when something strikes my fancy
I've only been here less than 2 weeks and I've yet to figure out how to keep up! This Gatherin' thing is fast becomin' an addiction. I try to comment on anyone who has befriended me, groups I've joined, and also anything that interests me. I get lost in surfin' to all the different people & places Gathered here, but that's a good thing!
I do have to admit that I don't watch many videos, so please forgive me.
