Welcome to steemit!
You can use the tag "homesteading" as the first tag on any of your posts that have to do with your homestead efforts. That should help your posts get noticed more by the homesteading community here on the steemit platform. The tag homesteading seems to work better than the tag homestead, and the same for prepping instead of preppers. I think it's mostly a matter of the words people use when they do a search for posts with a certain tag.
