Steemit,Inc is trying to come up with new ways of improving user retention...
In the latest announcement from Steemit,Inc it was announced they would like to do a mentor program.
A mentor program is where a veteran STEEM user takes a new user under their wing and shows them the ropes of STEEM, so to speak.
From upvotes, to downvotes, to witness votes, to getting set up on exchanges, to figuring out how to find things, to maximizing your time on the platform.
There is a rather large learning curve...
Here's the latest from Steemit,Inc:

Personally I think it is semi good idea...
I think it's a decent idea in that I am glad they are thinking about improving the very low user retention levels.
However, I don't think it will scale well at all...
It might be better to set up how-to videos and tutorials on a main page where new users are directed towards in order to answer just about all of their questions.
To me that seems like a better way to scale things.
With things constantly changing on STEEM however, that page will need to be tweaked and updated constantly or it is of no use.
Not sure if they have the resources to put something like that together, but that would be a better use of resources and time I would think.
A stop gap could be a mentor program like they are proposing...
Stay informed my friends.

Not everyone will follow communities, some people just follow individual users, or create their own communities to separate personal posts and posts about current project(s).
It's good if they make both video and text tutorials, as not everyone like watching videos, as their attention span is very short and rewinding videos to revisit some step is a lot harder than to scroll back text.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
