Your criteria for selecting a discussion topic to respond...

I usually check out my friends discussions first and answer what interests me. Then ones with no responses that interest me. If I have time (lol) I might search a tag that interests me., but so far that only brought up discussions that were years old. A tip... Adding tags on your discussion helps get it seen. I often just pick a person that had responded on my discussion and go to their page and see what they have posted n responded to, visiting ones that interests me from there....which is how I got here btw. **waves @allknowing **

I have those tabs open - 'Me', 'People' and 'Explore' I respond if I can irrespective of who has posted them.I keep refreshing those tabs. I suggest that you just participate and automatically you will see your topics getting responses and comments. I post articles as and when ideas crop up. Some get good responses and some don't. That's how it is here.

This morning I am going down the "Explore" list and responding to most of them. I try to respond to people who may be online right now.

Today is my first day on the all new mylot. I am just opening every discussion I see and responding irrespective of who has posted it. Earlier too I would respond to every discussion that I liked. The discussion has just to come my way.

With whatever happened with the first version, I have learned to control me. I now, dont normally make responses to strangers unless - I find the topic interesting - until now, I think I have responded to only 2 or 3 discussions from complete strangers. I somehow dont want to suffer the loss of friends now. Once was enough. I am having difficulties in locating the discussions from the people who were on my friends list - because the "friends" are now replaced with "followers" and "following" and on top of that, there are only 10 or 15 people who get repeated on those lists. Weird but it will take a while to get accustomed.

Those things that interests me are easier to respond to. But of course we have other considerations like you mentioned here. those things should also be given priority.

If it's a title which interests me, and I feel that I can contribute to it then I will do so. I chose this one because it was in my feed thingy and it's a straight forward question to which I have an answer. I won't respond to a discussion for the sake of responding, no matter who posts it.

As long as I have the time to respond, I'll reply to a discussion topic regardless if it is of interest or not or if it was started by a friend or not.

I often respond to recent discussions. I also like to read and respond to discussions with no responses and discussions created by new members. I look for topics that interest me, and topics that I am able to comment on. Sometimes I read discussions without responding. Some discussions are interesting, but I don't really have anything to say about the topic.

For me , it's the posts that interests me and i can relate with .

I was curious too so I started a discussion seeking suggestions from friends. Mine was in reference to some discussion posts which were obviously nothing short of spam. Remember you also posted a comment on 'Youtube or myLot' and the ones who posted their comments were answered with copy pasted comments. Such discussions should be in funny category and that's where they deserve to be. Cheers

I have to be interested in the topic and what is written has to make sense. Also, if I have someone who is constantly suggesting every post they write - I will make a point NOT to read or respond to their posts because that is my pet peeve. I do check the new users tab and try to comment on new users posts regardless of the above though to try and make them feel welcomed, especially since I'm new myself.

Option 1 without a doubt What about you? @kiran8

I will respomd to all the discussions that I can find i am still figuring this site out.

The things which interest me, I am more likely to respond to that.

All the above three .. I also select the No Response Discussion and also new comer's . I Read it and respond it ..

I firstly visit the most recent discussions and respond to those topics that I can relate to. So for me, it's more of number 1, but I also use number 2 and 3.

It is because it's easy to respond and it interests me. I admit that I am sometimes procrastinated to read long posts so I opt sometimes the short posts that also interest me.

If the topic is of interest to me, yes, I would read the discussion and comment on it.
