@Gabz just checking. If you did, I wanted to make sure I had your photos in my timeline. (Really liking your street photos)

@Burk been thinking on creating one. Do you still need a yahoo account?

@Gabz Just click on the “Join Group” button in the header on the group page and Flickr will send a request to @JacksonOfTrades to approve your group membership (I just put my Micro.blog username in the message text).

@Burk Curious -- is it worth re-joining Flickr? I was on there a long time ago (I see my account is still there).

@smokey @jacksonoftrades How did I not know of this group before? 😮 Clicked Join just now. Wasn’t asked to put any intro text?

@pratik I didn’t know about it until @johnjohnston mentioned it after I rescued my login from Yahoo (though I do recall reading the Conversation way back in the day that I assume inspired the group’s creation.)

No idea why it didn’t prompt you to add a note; seems like the UX varies for every person who wants to join :-P At least it did let you request membership, though, as it wouldn’t even do that for poor @seishonagon :-(

@smokey @pratik luckily @jacksonoftrades monitors his micro.blog account as well and was quick off the bat.

@seishonagon It's also a case of when Flickr gives me a few notification email that people are requesting to join, I give my notifications here a quick look just to see if there's anything new going on/any errors I can help with. Even if I'm not active in this community anymore, I still want to help :).

But on that note, I should probably look at getting new administrators who are still active to help run it.

@seishonagon @smokey Apparently it was an iOS thing. Just sent a request via desktop and it asked me to enter text cc: @jacksonoftrades

@pratik Ah, strange that it differs substantively like that between platforms….
