Yes, I do like that comm, I've been on it before. It's definitely cool and low pressure, two good things about snowflake, too.
What I'm realizing (with perfect clarity as my life settles into the new year) is that I am not on DW regularly. It's just not part of my routines, daily, weekly, or otherwise. I have tumblr, slack, and discord open constantly, but not DW. I have a system of "daily things I need to do" and a list of "things I do if there's any leftover time in the day" and DW is so far down that second list that it easily goes many days (or weeks) without me checking it. And once it drops down to me checking less often than once a week, then it's likely going to fall off the list completely soon.
Snowflake works for me because it slots into my "daily things I need to do" and the interaction with all the other people keeps it in my inbox and therefore at the front of my mind. When snowflake isn't going on, the interactions are much less, too.
That's why, for me, the key to snowflake is the interaction. But that's a lot of work, and it's a strain on literally all the mods. This is all still percolating in the back of my brain, but I feel fairly certain that a spring version is out of the question, and fall will just have to see if I come up with things in the meantime and can corral enough people to do it.
