TIL that the expected path a new user of LW is expected to follow, according to https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/rEHLk9nC5TtrNoAKT/lw-2-0-strategic-overview, is to become comfortable with commenting regularly in 3-6 month, and comfortable with posting regularly in 6-9 month. I discovered the existence of shortforms. I (re)discovered the expectation that your posts should be treated as a personal blog medium style ?
As I’m typing this I’m still unsure whether I’m destroying the website with my bad shortform, even though the placeholder explicitly said… (\*right click inspect\*)
Write your thoughts here! What have you been thinking about? Exploratory, draft-stage, rough, and rambly thoughts are all welcome on Shortform.
I’m definitely rambling ! Look ! I’m following the instructions !
I feel like a “guided tour of LW” is missing when joining the website ? Some sort if premade path to get up to speed on “what am I supposed and allowed to do as a user of LW, except reading posts ?”. Could take some inspiration from Duolingo, Brilliant, or any other app trying to get a user past the initial step of interacting with the content ?
