Welcome back! Always cool to see old “follows” popping back into my feed. I understand the change of direction and can totally relate as a frustrated artist, but you can always still teach and share ideas. It helps solidify your own learning and there are a ton of folks at earlier stages in their own journeys that can be helped by you.
On a side note, lots of stuff is still in the works with Steem. Community features are now in beta and accessible through the testing site. I’d highly recommend checking out @midlet’s OnChainArt community as a start and go from there. Hopefully communities will be fully launched soon.
