Maybe I should be a bit more precise. It's not that I want a whole list of comments like 'nice puzzle'. Of course, that's nice for me and I like to read them as a puzzle maker. What I mean is more discussion/talk about puzzles. For me that could be a very important input for further ideas. Sometimes my inspiration is declining a bit, and when I have found something new (for instance the (in my opinion) brilliant step in my last puenktchen sudoku), I am very curious how the people experienced it. Did they recognize that step? Did they like it? Or didn't they see it and they needed T&E? And if so, after reading the walk-through, did they recognize the step and enjoy it afterwards?
Interaction is very important to me. I am here at my computer, hundreds of kilometers away from the puzzlers who are solving and enjoying the puzzles. I don't see anybody having fun with it. And I don't talk personally with anybody who solved it. (I only see Arvid on a regular basis.) The only way to communicate about the puzzles is by comments (or PN).
Dropping a puzzle on the internet and getting only feedback as a valuation in beauty and difficulty doesn't always feel right to me.
I understand that not every puzzle is worth it to have long discussions about it, but I hope the portal is getting more 'a society' than it is now.
And as I said before: feedback gives ideas and inspiration, both are necessary for an artist to go on.
