A man in my chat group showed a picture of Ngram Viewer. I was surprised to see that because people here don't know what Ngram is though they speak English, learn English, use English every day. I use Ngram too so I commented:

Good to know that you use Ngram too.

Is my italic comment natural?

Yes, as long as you know (and check that others know) that it's a contracted form of "It's good to know ...". Your sentence is fine for texts, online messages etc but not for formal English.

Yes, it is, though you should be recommending it to the rest. ;-)
