- Description: Why do you read The Edinburgh Minute? I'd love to hear from you
- Author: Michael MacLeod

I recently published the 1,000th daily edition of the newsletter. It's a landmark that could never have happened without you, the readers. 

I'm constantly surprised by its growth, which has mostly come through word-of-mouth. *Thank you* for sharing the newsletter with your friends, colleagues and neighbours. 

I would love to know: Why do you subscribe? How does the Minute fit in to your life? And what have you done, been to or felt as a result of reading it? 

The thing I hear most often is that it gives people a **sense of community**. So my question to you is: *Why?* **What is it about the Minute that gives you a sense of community?** 

Please [**share your thoughts in the comments section of the online version**](https://www.edinburghminute.com/community-love-2026/) of this post. I'd be fascinated to hear from you! 

### 💬 Here’s a selection of some recent feedback. **I hope it makes you feel like part of something you helped create**. I’ll keep adding to this post if more nice messages come in:

### 🎶 “*I love the Edinburgh Minute… also I sing “*[*New York Minute*](https://youtu.be/Nk38Ukv-GuI?t=89&ref=edinburghminute.com)*” to myself every time I see it in the inbox*".
