I'd recommend two steemians for #followfriday. They have very different interests but the reason I'm recommending them is because of their contribution to the community:
@ethandsmith writes quality posts on a variety of topics. At the moment, he is writing an introduction to steemit which is very comprehensive. He writes reviews of games and books, posts about his family and everyday life and has run a very successful fundraising campaign for books and wobbly stools for his wife's school. He is unfailingly courteous and has certainly always responded to my comments.
@crosheille is a homeschooler and crafter and hosts and supports the #needleworkmonday community. She really encourages posters to interact with each other and is also unfailingly courteous and responsive to commenters. She has a family of four young children and is expecting another daughter, she encourages joint community initiatives like #coffeehour with @fibreartists on discord and she also produces handcrafted items for sale. I am not sure where she gets all the time!
I can't forget @nathen007 who always makes me laugh (and also responds to my comments) 😊

I have seen people mentioning that Steemit was down which is quite a concern for me i hope it does not happen again but like you say there are alternatives though i am used to Steemit...

papilloncharity (71) · 7 years ago

Also very slow here in South Africa Sir @steevc. Uwe suggested an alternative that I will be looking at. Had 3 "Transaction error" signal today. Blessings!

I'm using steemit now and it's mostly okay. I don't know what the problem was

Thanks for the ideas @steevc, I was going to seek out this 'papa-pepper' character after reading an article he did around 11 months ago. There were a lot comments and even you contributed!

I'm finding it quite hard to connect to people with my interests, and then when I do, people who reciprocate.

I'll certainty look up @skyleap as I love creativity as well as the others your mention.

steevc (73) · 7 years ago

I follow a lot, but have to limit the list or Steemit becomes unusable for me. I hope we'll get ways to filter it eventually. You can do this with the Steem-Plus extension for now

rehan12 (73) · 7 years ago

Well I have been having the problem the whole day !
Many have faced the same problem I have been seeing people really getting annoyed for it sometimes this kind of issue happens we should have little patience,the team behind Steemit I am thinking are working hard to find a soltuion.
Your tips will sure help few to get around .Used busy.org for some time .Hope the issue gets fixed soon !

agbona (62) · 7 years ago

I have today wasn't just a slow day, I want to say, that I haven't a day on Steemit in general. It's annoying, because I have only a few hours a day to work on the platform while my daughter sleeps. I hope, it won't happen again in the future.

Site seems a bit better now. Do we know exactly why it was so slow?

Thanks for those suggestions for follows.

I've not heard why it was slow, but it has been attacked by bad people before. Check out the alternative sites in case this happens again

There has been a disturbance in the force today for sure! I have never tried the other sites yet since I'm here for the Alexa ranking, but now maybe I will.
