How do you approach Fluther when there are no Questions for you?

I find the questions that aren’t for me can be more interesting as it may be a subject I have not discussed on fluther before. It gets boring answering the same questions that fluther brings up for you and so I just do a little scan of the most recent questions and read any that catch my eye. Seems to be working pretty well. I found this question didn’t I!

I have taken to clicking on my avatar to see the “Newborn” venue, then, I choose from that if anything is of interest to me. I haven’t really been browsing the other sections, but, will probably take a spin through “social” here this morning.

Adapt or fade away. ;-)

I’ve never really used those. I go through the new questions in each section every day. When I go back to college I won’t have that kind of time, though, so I’ll be interested to hear what kind of methods people have for skimming.

Well, imagine Fluther like a tunnel, and questiones I’m interested in as a golden statue. Spam, self promotion questions and people from yahoo answers are like deadly traps, pits and boulders. I grab my hat and whip, and make like indiana jones getting to the gold statue.

Like always I usually end up deleting most of my personal questions so nothing much has changed for me in the past two years on here. There are two ways I do my searches: 1. I look at the first five pages of questions in each category. 2. I’ll type in keywords and if the question was asked in a reasonable time frame (usually 6 months for me) I’ll answer them.

I don’t use the Questions for You section, because they are all simply taken from the other Sections (but many good Q’s are not suggested) so I just go through Social, and General and Meta one by one. I’m a quick reader and I know what topics are of interest to me, so it’s pretty easy to pick and choose.

I just go to each section and look through the list. I do this anyway after looking at my “questions for you.”

Same here. ^ ^ ^

^^ Same as those two above me.

Same as @tedibear and @JilltheTooth I’m just looking at the new questions in each category, starting at the top and stopping where I left off last time.

^^ Same as the four jellies above me.

And… Questions for You is working again! :)

Yay!

The questions for you is the first thing I check, then activity and then general, social and meta. If there is nothing in my questions for you I just have to skip the first part of my routine.

When there aren’t any I look through the list of questions.
Or I ask a question. O.o

I the “questions for you” feature not working again? I was fixed, but today I haven’t had any. I usually wake up to a whole new list.

I ask a question.

I never use Questions for you. Mine is stuck at 1000 right now. When I log in I check messages if I have any, then I look at the new questions starting with the General section, then on to social and meta. I also use the active tab for each section after I’m done looking at the new questions.

My Questions for You was stuck? at 1000 for 2ish years, and then a few weeks ago it went to zero and then to 1.
