How can we have an instant discussion?

I noticed on forums that People don't give answers to a topic instantly. They take hours or even days or weeks to answer. Some even go unnoticed. *_*

How can we get an instant discussion?

Any apps or websites where we get chess community rather than a 'not useful' community like lichess

Many times, boring threads or threads where u don't know the asked question urself are ignored. And, some of us, actually have more of a life than to answer a thread in 5mins. Maybe u should prepared urself more before tht tmt
I noticed this thread immediately, as I had a VIT (very important thread) notification.!!!!

When I read it, I went and switched off the notification.

I spent the next hour washing my hair, eating breakfast, doing my nails and watching some paint dry.

When I had exhausted myself with those tasks, I thought I’d comment.

I hope you appreciate the time I’ve taken from my day, which I will never get back, to reply so promptly.
I think michuk has made something like this speak to him / her xxx
Simply go to your local grocery store and you will find a pack of stuff called "Instant Discussion".
In order to properly prepare the Instant Discussion, you first add in some boiling words. You may also use spicy controversies for extreme flavor.
Then, you add in the seasoning of General, Lichess Feedback, Game Analysis, or Off-Topic.
Finally, add in a few checkmate CAPTCHAs for extra verification.

I wanted to write something clever first, but then I scrolled down and saw that @InkyDarkBird consumed all the humor this thread was able to give. So instead I just throw in some nice places you are likely to get almost instant response:
local police-hotline, amazon-help-center, a trustworthy representor of your government (as soon as you start to collect necessary parts to build a nuclear-reactor in your basement)

No but for real, as @DERG_CHESS made it so clear, most threads aren't that enticing to respond to, and especially when you want to provide some content it takes time to write a proper answer, which might in turn take more than five minutes.
Cheers!

Does your smartphone have a Telephone app? That's what people used to use for conversations. Might still work.
i have found that what helps with instant discussions is to formulate your problem clearly.
as a negative example, the last topic posted by op that didn't get any reply: lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/how-to-spot-endgames-from-our-games#1
i wouldn't even know what to say, because i have no idea what the hell they are talking about.
i also very much dislike when op thinks they're in a position to give a deadline for my reply. i consider that very rude, and i'd rather not reply at all.
