I’ll continue my comment here, because I already found out @markrmorrisjr can be a little grumpy when it comes to ‘hijacking’ comments on his posts ;0)
You mentioned you don’t get a lot of comments on your post. It’s not that I have the ‘big solution’ or anything, but I was wondering if you had heard of the #newbieresteemday initiative (‘official’ account: @newbieresteemday)?
The initiaive was started by @mudcat36 and @davemccoy, and it has grown to become a group of people supporting eachother through all different sorts of initiatives. This post by @beeyou is quite old, but gives you an idea of everything that’s going on. There’s also the @newbiegames account, which we use to share contests and games. Joining those is an excellent way to make new connections.
You can also find us on Discord. Feel free to join.
Like I mentioned before, joing the initiative isn’t going to growyour accounT overnight - after all, we’re all minnows - but together we are stronger than we are alone :0)
Yes I hear what you're saying, I do agree it's bad manners to take over someone's post, but also unavoidable sometimes.
Thanks for the referral, I'll read the links more thoroughly tomorrow and give it my fresh morning brain attention, it does look promising although I'm a bit of a rebel when it comes to joining groups, partially because I'm notoriously inconsistent and unreliable. To be perfectly honest, my current goals on steemit aren't specifically growing my account, I'm still swimming the murky waters of morbid fascination, although I'm really enjoying some of the interaction through commenting.
As for Discord, I have been there and I am clueless :)
At least I can say today's meme was also my first and it wasn't too bad.
Have a wonderful rest of the evening/night /day til we meet again <3
I can feel ya :0)
Just the other day, I was expressing my surprise about me feeling so ‘involved’ in something - lol - ‘cos normally I’m not really a community kind of person. If somebody mentions the word ‘rules’, that’s enough for me to want to break them. If somebody says ‘group’, I’m the first to go the other way, mostly because I don’t like expectations (which I won’t or can’t fullfil anyway, because
a) I like to make my own choices
b) I’m terribly un-organised and all over the place)
When I first started out here, I was so overwhelmed that I got completely lost. Meanwhile, I’ve experienced the power of the SteemIt community in and the little sub-communities.
I have no obligations against any of them, it’s just nice to come across a familiar name every once in a while and ‘get to know’ people a little better.
It has helped me to grow, both as a writer and as a person :0)
Hahaha! You sound so much like me, we should start our own 'group' for disorganised and totally random steemians, publish a few guides on how to be a better steemit member, then NOT join the group!
Having said that, I will take your advice and guidance & get involved with the newbieresteemday initiative, they sound like really cool people and I'm definitely with you on the getting to know people and personal growth through writing and interacting, I also love learning new things!
Hi @emeraldearth... I just wanted to say that @simplymike is absolutely right... And I am going to give you a newbie nickel because @simplymike likes you enough to make a great comment!!! Feel free to tag your posts with #newbieresteemday if you want our people to look at your posts!
Hi @davemccoy! Firstly, thanks so much for the newbie nickel, I have no idea what or where it is, but it sounds delightful and I'll keep it safe and polished to perfection!
When I finally finish my next post, I'll definitely tag the initiative, some motivation there already. I've had a bit of a read of some of the members posts and resteems. I definitely see a light in the dark gloom of the current flag war/reward pool rape, which is heartening and encouraging. I am also a great believer in Team People, if only as a spectator ;-)
lol @emeraldearth! I'm glad you liked the newbie nickel and will keep it shiny and safe!!! ;) .
It is just something we came up with to reward newbies to give them a reward they could actually see ($0.05 upvote) ... I gave you another one because you made a fun comment and I also love the pic! So you now have 2 newbie nickels to polish and keep forever ;)
