I've only done one but it resulted in the highest amount of engagement I've had so far. I think it was the result of asking a question (about a popular subject, gin!) rather than expecting people to pitch in with their thoughts on a particular topic.

I like your idea of asking a more concrete question! Most of my discussion threads have focused on either sharing an opinion or a “favorite” (my newsletter is focused on food culture, so things like a favorite family food tradition, or a favorite food eaten while traveling), and while I’ve consistently gotten responses, I am always looking to increase engagement. Maybe it’s worth asking something with a definitive answer from time to time rather than something so open-ended?

I suspect it is. Give it a try anyway!
