In less than a week, Steemit has helped me find so many amazing people from all corners of the earth! YAY! :)
First of all, if you have no idea what #TheAlliance is (I’m just learning, but I can point the way), check out the latest note’s issue. I joined the Light Artillery Discord group from that post, and was instructed to post an application on Steemit to be considered for the group.
I’m game!
Question 1: How did I find #thealliance?
Oh geeze. I don’t know when I first stumbled upon the tag… I’ve been wandering down so many Steemit paths through posts and links... I don’t even know how I got there! I eventually found the #haturday tag, mothered by @saffisara, and that solidified my opinion that these Alliance members must be pretty cool.
Question 2: Why do I want to be part of this group?
I’ve got a few reasons for wanting to join. First of all, I’m looking for fun people to connect with on Steemit, to make the experience better overall. This seems like a great group.
Second, #thealliance is makes me think of The Rebel Alliance, and I always wanted to be Princess Leia, so I naturally gravitate towards things that remind me of her.
Third, I’m a new minnow in a big ocean, and am looking for ways to grow into a bigger fish. Maybe even a sea otter to start. ;) Finding supportive family helps anyone grow, so here I am!
Couldn’t resist throwing this picture into this post!

Question 3: What do I have to contribute?
I’m fun, enthusiastic, I care about the people I interact with, and I write kick-ass comments! As someone whose vote doesn’t have a ton of power yet, I feel like the most important thing I can bring to the table is my passion to encourage Steemians by engaging in meaningful conversation in the comments section of posts. I make a point to only leave thoughtful replies, and appreciate it when others do the same!
If you want to check out another of my posts to see the quality of my content, I’m super-proud of this piece of flash fiction, a love story between two people and a piano: GIVE ME MOONLIGHT — a short story inspired by Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata This story hit me like a bomb yesterday, and I’ve already had requests to continue it! If you want to make my day, please head over and let me know what you think. :)

Thanks for considering adopting me, Alliance peeps! I’ll do you proud.
PEACE! @katrina-ariel

If you leave a comment asking people to follow you and you will follow them, people will consider you a spammer.
And when your comment looks a lot like spam, people on this platform do not like this. Actually, some of the bigger accounts might downvote you to a point where you are not visible anymore. Here are two good articles which will help you to be successful on this platform.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I'm originally from the States, but made my way up here in 2000. I love both countries for the amazing people and landscape. (In fact, I feel the same about most places I've been in the world.) I'm thrilled to have picked the Alpha Syndicate and am most grateful for the kindness y'all have shown me thus far. :)

You have definitely covered the #haturday tag well in your post!
and I will admit that I am a sucker for a Canadian Flag!
You are right about a few things, the alliance is a great group of people who like to have fun. We support each other with love and support!
Keep posting great content and membership will be sure to follow.
May the force be with you. always

Hey! Welcome to Steemit! This community is amazing but does take some getting use to since it’s a bit different than the other social media platforms.
I joined Steemit December 30th, 2017 and have had a blast networking, learning and earning (actually made some pretty good money so far)!
I'd suggest signing up for these free applications for Steemit that gets you upvotes and followers. The first thing you need to do as a new user is to increase your STEEM POWER (SP), which increases your visibility and voting power. These were a huge help for me.
Feel free to follow me @entrepreneur916, as I continue to post content to help make the Steemit community better and to help new members!
Respectfully yours,

I actually haven't heard about the (rebel) alliance! There are so many microcosms on here, love all the ones that support interacting with each other - being a good commentator is a much-appreciated skill.

"There are so many microcosms on here, love all the ones that support interacting with each other..." Right?! That's such a good way to put it. This is another microcosm I stumbled upon recently, but, for me, the most important thing is genuine connection. Thanks for your awesome comments on my posts!

Hey @katrina-ariel! I had a read about the alliance it sounds interesting.
Along with having a nice community of people, I guess it also acts as an engagement group where you upvote and comment on each others posts? Is that right?

Yes, Jeremy, that's the idea of quite a few groups I've found. You support each other, and in doing so, uplift the whole community. I'm still resistant to the idea of bots, so networking via groups like this seems the way to go (and so much fun!!!) Thanks for stopping by. You're awesome!

I totally agree. I have tried to learn a lot about bots but it just does not sound appealing to me. These groups sound like a much better idea!
I might be interested in joining myself, but do you know how I can find other groups too so I can see my options?
