I have found it kind of difficult so far to navigate towards Steemit content that I am interested in and finding people I would like to follow. The tags being offered at the Steemit homepage are pretty limited at the moment. I wanted to find some fellow eBay/Amazon online resellers and thrifters but the search function seemed to bring up really old posts. Here is an example of what I did to find the content that I want to see:
https://steemit.com/active/ebay
https://steemit.com/active/reselling
https://steemit.com/active/thrifting
https://steemit.com/active/pickers
https://steemit.com/active/fba
https://steemit.com/active/listia
Just replace my word with something you might be interested in seeing and if it has been used as a tag, the recent posts will show up.
