Posting here in case I missed an announcement!
I've checked everywhere for an answer/announcement but cannot find anything! Is anyone else not accruing points for comments? I've posted five comments on different posts this morning and not only are none of them showing up in my own activity feed, I also have not been earning points from interacting with the community😢 I have been earning points for upvotes and a new follower though. I've force quit my app several times as this usually works and am definitely on the utd version of the app. I did submit a bug report, but I'm posting here in case anyone else has experienced it too and if you've done anything to fix it yourself?
Points definitely aren't everything to me but I'm so close to level 5😩 lol

It’s getting into the wee hours, and I’m spiraling because I just finished a book and that reminded me of a talk I had with my students about showing vs. telling, and the magic of visualization. We had a great discussion about dialogue, narration, and the variety of dialogue tags that all help create the vision the author is aiming for in each conversation.
That led to another question: how do we actually visualize when we read? I loved the range of responses I got. Some students said they see full scenes unfolding like a movie, some (like me) hear their own inner monologue narrating the book, and others don’t feel much happening in their heads at all. Needless to say, it blew their minds that visualization looks so different for everyone!
Naturally, I want to know: how do all of you visualize while you read? I want to know your brains. Explain yourselves!
Since I’m an inner-voice kind of reader, I’m a sucker for an immersive read, especially if it includes a graphic audio. 🫖

Hello Readers!
I recently watched this youtube video of a girl casually reading every single day, even stopping herself at times so she doesnt finish the book. (Ive only felt that way about 1-2 books thus far).
I was wondering if anyone has any tips for reading more consistently?
P.s: im also a neurodivergent, i struggle to get things started all the time🙈
Thanks in advance!
