For example how long are you normally on here , what sub section do you go on first etc
I normally go straight to this section then browse others

I genuinely check for more responses on threads I've previously commented on then browse through active.

PennySweeet · 09/09/2025 19:12

I tend to go straight to Active.

How long I'm on here simply depends on whether I'm busy or I've got time to kill.

Me too.

I tend to ignore the ‘What’s everyone doing today?’ or ‘You have to name your pet after the thing on your right. What do you name your pet?’ type threads because I find them irritating / boring & focus on ones that involve a discussion. Or cats.

I go on at lunch and then after tea when its quiet. Usually go straight to trending threads and see what titles look interesting. I dont follow any specific chats though . If nothing takes my fancy I check on threads I am watching but am often frustrated as more often than not the OP doesnt come back to update .

I have 'Threads I'm on' set as my landing page. I will scan for updates of recent threads and then check my notifications to see if I have been quoted or reacted to, or of there are new threads in my favourite topics. I'll look at trending to see if anything interesting leaps out, then just scroll active and look at anything that seems interesting.

I normally also do at least one, sometimes all of the word puzzles (on separate Puzzles section, not part of Talk).

I go straight for trending threads, then chat and aibu. Only then will I look at I'm On.

I look at the threads I am on first, then go to the Last Hour threads, where I read any that catch my eye.

I drop in and out of MN from late morning/lunch time onwards.

Last Hour, I hadn’t thought of that.
