Welcome to Litsy!

Question for the Litsy wise - if someone blocks you what does it look like?

I think it is funny (I am not offended) and I am just curious if my hunch is accurate, is it possible that if you try to tag them (for a prompt they started) they will not pop up, that I can click through from someone else's post, and get to their page but it says they have hundreds of thousands of points but no posts yet?

Also did I block them? Ahah How would I know?

Have I just been super lucky in my couple of years on Litsy?

I believe I have 2 Sales/Spam messages on one of my posts, It makes sense there are scammers and spammers in every corner of the internet, just curious how many have seen this? Is it something you are seeing more of lately? Do you just block them and move along?

What is weird is it is 2 new accounts, and both commented on the same post, and the comments they made make no sense.

It‘s Our Litsyversary! Celebrating 3 years! Thank you @liz_m for all your coordinating and organization! I love helping this page and our support for the litsy community!

Is it just me? I can‘t see the like button, I can‘t see the rate button but I can blindly click on it so that I can post this and I can‘t even stack books. All the small grey buttons are missing for me 😭 the attached photo is just an example 😭

I need Litsy to update the app for iOS 18. I can only post words. No pics. It‘s mildly frustrating. #firstworldproblems #litsyissues #ios18

A while back, someone posted instructions on how to side load the Litsy app. I got a new phone, and the app is STILL not available in the Play Store. Does anyone remember how to side load it?

Thanks!

6 years, damn!!

I'm trying to get the Litsy app for my android phone because I'm going to be away, and it's not findable in the play store and the link on the Litsy home page doesn't work. Anyone know what's up?

Today marks 5 years of Litsy! 😀🎈

Oh my! I went to the mailbox today and was so amazed! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thank you enormously for the cards and the gift! I got all misty! 😉 And to the rest of you that sent cards, you all made my heart so very happy today! Wasn‘t having the best day (still not handling empty nest well) and you all made me smile @AmyG @catiewithac @corireadslife The cards and stickers just made me so happy! Thank you for welcoming me back to #litsylove

Missed this yesterday. Six years!!!! Oh my gosh. Cannot articulate how much better my life got once I joined Litsy. My reading expanded and so did my view of books. Thanks for being my favorite bookish people, littens ❤️❤️❤️

FOUR YEARS in this amazing place 😊😊😊😊😊
#litsyversary ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Follow @LitsyEvents to get information on what's going on.

Add the #LitsyEvents to your posts to create a wider audience.

This has become my definite go-to to check on current Litsy fun! LitsyEvents is a page managed by a group of thoughtful Littens who want to be sure no one misses any of the awesome community activities available.
Follow @LitsyEvents and be sure to tag the account in any Litsy goings-on that need to be amplified. The account will signal boost challenges, buddyreads, readathons, swaps, and any other inclusive, Litsy community-building events.

Does anyone know if there‘s a master thread somewhere with some of the small businesses/Etsy shops of our fellow Littens? I know a lot of you are quite crafty. I thought it would be nice to be able to support our own Litsy community if possible as we get ready for the holiday season. So feel free to post links and promote if that applies to you in the comments.

Interested??!

See @Liz_M ‘s comment below: 🔻

“I‘ve set up a Slack team as a place to continue brainstorming and coordinating. Anyone interested in volunteering, please email Litsy.readalong@gmail.com , and I‘ll invite you to Slack.” 😊

@Liz_M has started a thread on @LitsyHappenings to the above question- all feedback would be appreciated and welcome! I‘m excited to see how we can keep all litsy activities easy to find and easy to join! To join the thread go to Litsy happenings- it should be the top post!

Guess what? I have a freakin‘ book out. It‘s with a small (very small) press, but it‘s a big deal to me—has taken forever to convince someone to publish one of my novels.

If you at all enjoy my writing on here, that would be awesome and so much appreciated if you could buy my book. And it‘d be even awesomer to give it a read and leave it stars on either Amazon or Goodreads.

Link here and link in my bio:

Took me 5 years, but look what's about to happen!
#goaloriented 😊🥉

Five years!!! 🥰😍

So I signed up for #LitsyLove 😍

I'm super excited, but don't know where to start. The list is so long!

How did you all decide where to start?

@Mrs_B has created a hyperlink to our resource thread and the links to @RaimeyGallant @julesG and @Chelleo resources for new Littens. I‘m keeping the link in my bio so anyone can access it easily to copy and share with new Littens. Thank you for this amazing team effort sharing that litsy is the best reading community. Shoutout to @TimSpalding for giving us a platform we love! I may have missed tagging people so feel free to share link access.

Signal boost! 📢

Head on over to @Chrissyreadit and the #litsylist if you need a quick refresher, or are new to Litsy - there are so many great ways to get involved with readalongs, challenges, and activities! And if you know of others, share them in the comments in that post!

Happy Saturday! @Chrissyreadit has a great post with comments full of great links for fun things you can join in on here on Litsy. Whether you are new to Litsy or just looking for fun new stuff to do, you should probably check it out and add other stuff to the comments!

#LitsyList

Every single time 🙈😂

I'm so sorry Litsy please don't be mad I love you so much 🙏🏻💕📚

Importing my Goodreads list might have been a mistake. Litsy added 59 extra books to my read total! 😓 #thestruggleisreal #litsy #readlist #goodreads

Today‘s #letskeeplitsyactive prompt by @ljuliel is what writer do you buy instantly?
These are a few of mine - also Kate Morton too -

I noticed people asking about this feature on Litsy so I thought I would repost the info from @Litsy earlier this year.

From @Litsy :To mute tags, you have to do it on the Litsy website. What you do there will affect the app too. (We plan to include this in the app in the future, but app changes take longer to do.)

To mute tags, sign in and go to https://www.litsy.com/web/hashtags . The page is also found on Settings/Import, at the bottom.

I mean really 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📖😋

#LMPBC @suvata #GroupN

I just joined #LMPBC for the first time. Group N needs one more member. I think this will be similar to #whodunitbymail but more manageable since it only lasts four months.

I‘m jumping in, who‘s with me?! I‘m a newbie, but this sounds like such fun I can‘t resist! 😊

Love fiction? I‘m in Group I, come on in! 💕👋 Or find your niche in another group...just join the fun! For all the details and to sign up for @suvata ‘s fabulous club, here‘s the link:

4 members: each choose 1 Book, reads it, marks it up with notes, then mails to next person. 1 book a month for 4 months, u get ur original back with all the notes, & it‘s super fun! I‘ll be in Group G if you wanna join me! #lmpbc

@Litsy just announced a new feature — mute hashtags you don‘t want to see.

😂 to see #bookfitnesschallenge on the list in the photo! We haven‘t been around long, but already making an impact. 😂

The new Litsy on the web ( https://www.litsy.com ) has a “night“ mode, so you can browse Litsy at night and rest your eyes.

So far, the app doesn't have it, but we're looking at adding it in a future release.

Night mode on the web is available on your Settings/Import page. (Go to your profile and then click the little “cog“ icon.)

We recently improved Litsy sharing, on both app and web. It looks better, and people get more than a single static page—they get Litsy.

So go ahead and share Litsy with your friends and followers.

Web sharing goes to Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr. And there's a special image-download for posting to Instagram. Mobile sharing does whatever your smartphone does, which is probably a lot.
