Every so often, for a Facebook post (because we are still on Facebook, every day), I ask a question. Sometimes, the question gets lots of views and lots of comments; sometimes there are very few views and very few comments. Of course, I try for the former and often try to figure out what went wrong when I get the latter.
And sometimes we get a decent number of views but few comments. I honestly don’t know why. Maybe it seemed intriguing at first glance, but not worth putting comments on. I really don’t know.
Here’s one that reached 252 people and got two comments–one of which was from us. I thought that it was a good question but apparently it didn’t provoke folks enough to comment–other than Dan Parelius. Here’s what I put on Facebook:
Is that such a confusing question? Here is the only real comment, plus Theresa’s response.
It’s true. We do want to understand better what people are looking for in community. I guess that sometimes they don’t want to tell us.

Hi,
Just stumbled on yourblog via a websearch ( ecosia.org ).
I would add that “Reached” simply means “it appeared in a person’s news feed,”
i.e.
_not_ that they necessarily paused to read it.
Another possibility:
We don’t alwaysknow the answer right away,
Or are still struggling to figure it out
(!)
Thank you for this.
It is something I don’t always know.
Sometimes I think I want space,
but it turns out I unexpectedly experience a certain quality of connection,
and then feel a lot better
(I have struggled w mental health since childhood; now 36).
