Shortforms may sometimes be good ideas, but it’s important that people recognize that shortforms are much less viewed than normal posts (or at least so I’ve heard and sensed, and I can speak to my own personal engagement which is far less for shortforms).
Shortforms are useful for when you don’t want the large audience. You might be writing especially quickly and might be debating whether to post at all.
Something I do sometimes is write a shortform and then link it to people I know. That way I’ve written something publicly, but I still get the feedback I’m interested in.
Yes, I think it can be good for people to comment on shortforms encouraging people to make a top level post if they think it’s worth it (as with this one of mine). But obviously this does require people seeing the shortform first.
