I hope you enjoy being here, and can see that your love of learning and writing will bring interest and activity from other posters. It's like a small party, good to have some conversation started, other people will see, come closer and possibly join in.
That kind of participation really builds communities, and aiming for that is any staff person's goal.
I was so frustrated with the state of our Local feed about a month ago or so. @Phaedrus posting and encouragement did a great deal to inspire me, and we managed a turn around, which makes me happy. I missed the camaraderie we had previously here, in November and December when I joined it was really nice. Then, it faded, as people's lives lead them elsewhere, and we got influxes of people who all had twitter friends and simply talked over to other instances. Local feed plummeted in interaction and quality.
