    This is a great idea, Olly! I love how much work you put in to improving and bringing together this community

    Thanks, Olly. This was really helpful. This is a whole new world to me. I just signed up the other day because of a couple of read-alongs that I'm doing, and I couldn't make any sense of it. Then, this morning, your video popped up! Really helpful! Thank you again.

    I've been on your discord for nearly a year now. The only negative is I've bought way more books than normally I would have. At the same time I've read many great books

    Your discord has honestly been a lifeline to me. :)

    I don't intend on using Discord any time soon but then again, I never intended to subscribe to RUclips channels and comment on the videos. 🤷‍♀️ Very clearly explained instructions. Thanks!

    What a coincidence!! I started my first Discord server today for a completely different purpose! Brilliant!

    Thanks for this Olly. i did sign up for discord and then got a bit confused so didn't go back to it - will have another go - I was just being impatient, I'm sure it is easy 😂

    I’ve just recently got discord (as a member) and this was really needed. Great video mate!

    Discord has been so useful as a central place to post stuff. Especially as Twitter has become more and more unuseable.

    This was great. I’ve only just started on Voxer, but Discord may be in the future

    @Arven8 6 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks. I'll head over to sign up. It's hard to have a conversation in the RUclips comments section, so that's a good alternative.

    Thanks for this, Olly. I keep hearing about Discord but haven't had time to look into it. It would be fun to connect with everyone this way, but with a full-time job and two special-needs kids, I'm lucky that I have time to run a channel at all. I'll keep it in mind for the future!

    Thanks for the great info although I don't do Discord or plan to. It just doesn't interest me (and now I have seen what it looks like even less so😄). Booktube comments are about the only social media I participate in.

    The mobile app may be sufficient for some people but the desktop experience is far superior from an ease of navigation and accessibility point of view.
    As you say, it takes some getting used to though...

    • @CriminOllyBlog
      @CriminOllyBlog  6 месяцев назад

      Yeah I find it easier to jump about and keep track of things on desktop for sure

    I joined Discord to talk about Weird Studies podcast, but I couldn't figure it out. For some reason it would not let me in-or something. IDK. Lol 😊

    Hmmm, I'm trying to lessen my social media footprint, I haven't logged in for ages.

      Hey, DDB! I totally get where you're coming from. I struggle to be fully present on Discord without falling into that social media cycle. That being said, it's a fun way to chat with BookTube friends. So I tend to be active on Discord about one week per month. Seems like the best compromise to me.

    Discord is great but I end up spending more money on books as a result. I just tell my wife “It’s Criminolly and MJ’s fault!”
