Personally I resteem only very rarely.
Ditto...I only resteem something that I find to be EXCEPTIONAL
I also unfollow those who resteem too much.

Hey @everittdmickey, I understand that you do that. Some people are just using this feature excessively and clutter out feed from the people we really want to follow. However, I hope that with the new Steemit layout coming soon we will get the option to seperate our feeds from resteems like on busy.org. That way we can resteem away wihthout annoying our followers.

I certainly hope so.
Steemit needs a MUCH better index.
Oh wait...Steemit doesn't HAVE an index.
Seven days after posting....it's GONE...down the memory hole.

Yes, it is sad as it is now. No interest in long term articles. It changed my posting behaviour. But I am sure there will be many ways in the future.

Hello @flauwy my man
This is the link to my latest post

The title is: Steemit: a Social Media or a Quality Content Dumping Ground

I hope you find it worthy of resteeming.

Thank you bro..

Hey, I was on vacation for a few days and just go through all my comments. I will read your article later. :)

Howdy @flauwy
I haven't been making new post so I have resteemed the few post which I really love like example New tool has been made from our fellow steemian friends
that tool is live at steemspectacles.com (This is not Spam).
Thank you bro!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Nice, that is really cool tool. I heard about it before but it wasn't ready then. I will check it out ans maybe make a video about it for the Steemy show.

I used to resteem often, until I kept seeing those users I had resteem had plagiarized and it would give a bad impression to my viewers as they would see blanked out posts.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yeah, that is really bad. Happened to me once I think. Also I try to keep my wall clean. The other day I resteemed a DSound post just to realize that it wasn't the original one but just someone writing about it. I would have rathe resteemed the original. I hope the new update will make things smotther in that regard.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

This is cool bro
Great advice.

Thank you.
Don't want to post any link here but I'm working on a really cool post. I'm sure you will see it tomorrow.

Help me thank steemy for his tutorial on bellyrub. Lol..

Hi Flauwy,
This post is my report on the 2017 Canadian Memory Championship, which occurred Sept. 2.

https://steemit.com/sports/@simonluisi/the-2017-canadian-memory-championships

I didn't even know I could get a link of my post and use it in comments here, so thanks for making the suggestion. I had discovered about how to promote on FB by using the icons at the bottom to promote the post. I am glad it got 30 views or so that way. Unfortunately, there was more upvote of this link on FB than on the actual post here and none of the upvote here came from the memory community. Ho well, go figure.

I would upload an image here as you request but I don't see an upload feature available in the comments section, sorry.
Edit:

Well, after a few more hours of trying to figure it out, I did it and managed to post my first image in a comment!
Now if you do upvote my post, that will have been hard earned cash. LOL.

This is the link to where I finally found some good answers: https://steemit.com/steem/@fpcvirtual/how-to-write-steemit-blog-posts-using-iphone-ipod-ipad-android

Even then, it took a few attempts before I got it right. But now I can make better posts, thanks to you and your challenge Flauwy!

It's also amazing to me to see that this simple comment to you had over 50 views when my best report on the Canadian Memory Championships which I promoted elsewhere got only 35 views or so.

And by the way, I promptly got 4 new followers just after you replied to me on this post...Thanks again.

Hi Simon, so far you are the only person besides me from the memory world active on Steemit. The others will come sooner or later.

To add a graphic you just need to drag and drop it into the editor. The markdown will be done automatically. If you want to link to it the code will be this without any of the spaces:


[ ! [ ] ( graphic-url ) ] ( link-url )

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Flauwy, I do every thing here from the Android and I think that's the reason why I can't see any editor.
I can get a link to a photo I have in Google Drive. If I paste it straight in the body of the message, only the link appears to the photo. The formula you give me mentions ' graphic-url' and I would have no idea what to put there.
I can't even upload an image for my profile picture! LOL.
It's too bad there isn't more people from the memory community and perhaps it's embarrassing because we're supposed to have big brains.

Edit:
As I now understand how it works, I finally get an image for my profile just now:

Thanks and please see my edited post above: it has all your requirements for an upvote now.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I am glad you figured it out with the images. Why do you only use Android to access Steemit?

That's all I have. If I were to use it in a public library (we have free computer access in Toronto) then there would be issues with the pass word because it is so long and with the security of the password.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

You can find free images on Pixabay.com. That is where most people here get their images from. It doesn't only have to be from the event. They will make posts much more digestible.

I'm not sure if when I edit my replies to you if you get notified so this is just to inform you about my edited posts above.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thanks Simon, I have them on my radar. It is just that I am on vacation right now and internet is bad. I will return tomorrow evening and start reading up.

Piccata? Titicaca! I am Cornholio! I need piccata for my bunghole!

@flauwy,
I made my first purchase of Steem last night. It was only $40, but it is what I had to spare..Lol! Thank you for inviting us minnows to share more in the community through your circle. Much appreciated. I think my thumbnail is a little big?? Is there a way to adjust the size? I'll keep learning and writing.

Why We Should Buy Steem And Hold It

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Oh nice. I will read your article later today. Your thumbnail is just fine. It will automatically fit to the comment section.

I do resteem a lot - mostly because I don't have much voting power and I feel at least I show some appreciation that way. Mostly< I resteem articles I like or I want to be able to find again. For example, I am an urban homesteader and have studied permaculture. So, I love following papapepper and his adventures. Again, I can't really upvote much, but I can get more eyes on his stuff. He might not need it because he seems to be doing okay. Still, I like what he writes.
Or if I take part in a challenge, I resteem entries I like.
To me, that is part of building community. But maybe it is a bad strategy. The truth is that I haven't quite wrapped my mind around how all this curating and resteeming and voting works.
So, for now, I write something when I feel like it. Look for peoples work I enjoy and I am sure I slowly will find my way to a strategy of some kind.
I didn't see your tutorial on thumbnails and such, so, I am dropping a link.

Are you German?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

If you resteem too much it could be annoying to your followers and people might start to unfollow you.

Yes, I am German. Your name sounds German as well.

Okay, that makes sense. Yes, I am from Bavaria, but have lived most of my adult life in the US. I still have my accent :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Bavaria? So not German after all. They are their own little group of people. ;)

Haha. True. But I am from northeast Bavaria - we are like regular Germans. I swear! You can almost understand what we are saying. LOL

My neighbor have a leg by the grave and I need noise canceling headphone for when it happens, does that count as a great cause?
great tip, I know people who need exposure.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Lol, I am sure you can give it a try! ;)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

So basically it will create a ripple effect, thanks man!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I am sure it will!
