The tagging thing can but I hate, despise and detest when someone takes one of those tools, tags everyone or a big block where I am tagged in it as a mass list... click it thinking there might be something there for me and it sends me to a block of names... with the thread or post above or wherever it is. I leave groups over this and almost never read the post as soon as I see all the names next to each other. I know that a community leader wants engagement and wants everyone to see it but in general I'm already following the community leader unless I unfollow them specifically so I see new posts, so I'll get a notification for the new post plus one for the tag that is them trying to get around not having an @everyone tag to use. I hope that it is used sparingly... Notifications are overwhelming as it is. Otherwise, it depends on my mood really. For me there's no solid answer because it could be all of the above.

@Carolina Velis Psychologically speaking when I see a mass tag list I knee-jerk feel like it isn't really meant for me, it's meant for the masses. When someone tags me I think... "hey a post for me" but the mass tag is almost a let down. I know it isn't, it is meant for me but when I see a personalized tag I think it's a more personal invitation. Like when you use it to highlight VIP's and things that are meant for me.... because I like you and know you I don't think of you using it the same way as someone I don't know. Skool really should if they were listening try to find a way to do an @ everyone tag. Then I am aware of what I'm clicking into. I'm sure some agree and some don't. As far as how to bring people into larger coversations? I'm probably more laid back than you'd like and won't have an answer that appeals to you. 😄 The community vibe I go for is real connection, whether it's with me, themselves or each other. So all of my options are directly trying to create that whether it is a poll, or a bigger talk. I post and put forward what I can and honestly? I then let what happens happen. Not everything appeals to people and even if it does they might not speak up and I am firmly of the belief... that's ok. I don't place expectation on my people even though in a strange way because they are in a community then you could say there is one. Why be in one if you don't participate? But they are, even if they don't say a word. I love me a good conversation, and I obviously have no problem with long posts etc. My community is a doorway, I love hearing from my people and hopefully they stick around, my community is part of my business but it isn't my business... it's a service of my business. When larger conversations happen it fuels that. Having a variety of posts from the larger conversations to the smaller ones with just a click of a poll helps keep things from getting too heavy. It's an eco-system and has a hierarchy... sometimes I have a bigger impact than I realize. Like when a member says, "you inspired me to do such and such because I saw you do it,"

This is helpful thank you

@Carolina Velis think it's going pretty good, over the past few weeks I feel like I have been tightening up what I want to accomplish much better
