My Steem experience – Week 1steemCreated with Sketch.

in introduceyourself •  6 years ago 

I’m a big fan of Blockchain technology and it uses. I’ve heard about Steem before, but never approached it. Finally about a week ago, I saw it mentioned in an article and decided to give it a try.

When I signed up the HF20 just rolled out so everything that I experienced was with the new rules.
The first thing is, Steemit is a complex ecosystem. I mean, it’s not your normal social media. There are so many factors in your profile (Steem, Steempower resource,...) and there are so many websites on the Steem blockchain that you can use with your single account.
To be honest, at first all that complexity and not being able to post or comment when you want, made me a little disappointed. But after a couple hours of search and reading different articles, I understood the mechanism and why there are so many rules that restrict you. But for someone who doesn't want to do the research and just wants to use it as a normal social network it’s not a good point.
So far I’ve made 3 posts, few comments, votes, resteems and follows. I've tried to make original content but so far all I’ve got is just a few votes and few followers (some of them are bots).
There are many articles that tell you the first few weeks are hard and to get noticed you have to be active and publish post and comment on other people posts, which is with Steem limitations is a hard thing to do, but I will try to continue and I will try to publish posts about my experience with Steem.

Hi virtual3,

Welcome to Steemit! Yes, I am experiencing the same issues as you are. I started slowly, then gained a few upvotes and followers, then paused for a while and now basically start from zero again... So, if you give it an effort in the beginning, make sure you hang in there and keep it going...
If you are into photography, drones and cryptocurrencies, you are more than welcome to visit and also follow my channel.

Good luck on your Steemit adventure!

Hi. Thanks. Why did you pause? Did you get discouraged?
Yes, I will follow you, I love all of these categories.

Not really, but I was pretty busy with work and family... But it also took me some time to find the categories I fit in best as an author. That's photography on Steepshot... 😊

Hey there, welcome to Steem! The HF20 did make it difficult for newcomers to get started. I believe you can only make a 3 posts/comments everyday as a newbie with 0 SP? I think this is a problem and is deterring new people to join this platform.

I just gave you my full vote. Just doing my small part to help enthusiastic newbies like u get started.

Posted using Partiko Android

Yes it is really difficult to get started. I only can make 1 post/comment everyday with 0.2 SP and it's even hard to reply to comments on my own posts.
Thanks for the vote.
