How can I effectively follow up with shy members in my group?

It's great that you want to engage with shy members! Start by reaching out individually through private messages.

What should I say in the message to make them feel comfortable?

You could say something like, 'Hey, I've noticed you haven't been as active lately. I just wanted to check in and see if there's anything I can do to help you feel more included.'

Should I ask them directly if they want to participate more?

Yes, but frame it gently. You might say, 'If you're interested, I'd love to hear your thoughts or ideas. No pressure, though!'

What if they still seem hesitant to engage?

If they seem hesitant, give them space and let them know you're there for them whenever they're ready.
