When I read @galenkp, what engagement on Hive means to me or how I do it, I felt, "A nice question that gave me a feeling of excitement and amped me up immediately." I have a straight-forward method or a simple strategy, "Go for it," I engage with every interesting posts I come across, irrespective of the posters' rank.
First of all, I have been on this site for a little over five (5) months, so I am not sure how this community worked before I joined. However, as a member of this community, I like its present format as it gives me a free hand to express my views besides reading others in detail. I like how members post their personal photos and give us an opportunity to witness their personal lives.
I love engagement, as you can see in the image I have provided above, which is proof in itself that shows my activities and my engagement within a short period of 20+ weeks on this platform. I post in various communities, but mostly in 5-6 communities, and as you can see, I am an active member of all of them. And what's more, I am a moderator whose basic job is to make posters feel at home.
I feel that I get to meet a large group of people with similar interests, which helps me get something out of their knowledge base. And we should know that our engagement with fellow members or comments, in this case, works as backlinks, which helps us earn more compared to people that do not believe in engagement.
I am a student of mass media, which is all about engagement and communication, and that clearly identifies the importance of engagement in a community. I would like to draw your attention to another point at this juncture, the importance of engagement in the community that refines our communication practices, adds more creativity and flexibility, and even gives us new ideas for more articles on Hive.
The importance of engagement does not end here. Just as people see it as having an important role in the process, we can see its role in building an atmosphere of exchange of views. The concept of engagement with other members of the community applies to many aspects of our lives and can take many forms.
The option One this week has so many questions, but I have just one answer for all of them, I enjoy engagement. And to prove my point, I have proofs
I post daily but just once a week in one community
Also, you can see that engagement helps build a relationship between the other members. The relationship that gives members confidence that they, too, are a part of the platform. This relationship creates a shared understanding that we would normally not be able to experience if we did not communicate. It is essential for any group activity.
