>Currently my extended family (~25 people) have a shared WhatsApp group in which we share milestones or any things deemed worthy. I am hoping to find a better way of keeping up to date, as the chat is very quiet. I hesitate to start posting regularly as I know others don't and it may dominate the conversation.

That sounds amazing... you'll hear about the important stuff, without a lot of noise. I applaud your decision to respect the signal/noise ratio of that channel.

I have extended family on Facebook, it's pretty nice to see what everyone is up to. I used the web interface, and see everything in order, so I know when people are up and see all the stuff they thought was cool... my S/N ratio is much lower, but still acceptable (I just laugh and click like, or scroll on by).
