Re: How do I know if a member is reading our content
|
One indication is the delivery mode.
If they get no emails (or special only), I suspect they are not really interested - or only want to be members to occasionally post - "write only".
If they get a digest or summary, I assume some reading interest.
And why would someone continue to get single emails, at least on a reasonably busy list, if they don't read them?
Not perfect, but an indication me thinks.

It's a legitimate question, for sure. Personally, I feel that posting might be a contribution, while reading is not. It's in fact difficult to see how reading messages could ever become a logged activity. Just because a message was displayed on the screen doesn't mean it's been read. And a substantial fraction of members don't read their messages online at all. Confirming that an email was sent to them is just about the best you can do.

We have only 160 members.

Of those numbers maybe 15-20 hold it all together at most.
My experience is that in any given group/club, 10% of the people will end up doing 90% of the work. Groups.io is not an exception.
