Good evening, Amina! Thank you for your questions ;-))

The creation of the Community was an idea of @dove11 and @damithudaya. They asked me to join as a third founder because I had already pursued similar plans elsewhere but had given up at the time. I was very happy to be persuaded. However, we didn't quite agree on what we wanted to do, so I initially took over the organisation and management alone. However, both of them have remained loyal friends and supporters. Dev has occasionally contributed to the development of the Community as a moderator and continues to do so as an author.

What I was most concerned about - and what I was able to establish quite well, I think: independence from formalities and regulations. I don't like the procedure of verifications and regulations for the external form of a contribution at all. We are authors, bloggers. We thrive on creativity and individuality. At least that's how it should be. Art is a very broad field. And I am convinced that you can only change things by doing them differently ;-))

What you can and should do as a Steemian: be real. Authentic, truthful and constant. You tell your story, your life, your day-to-day, your job, whatever is important: you take strangers into your own emotional world and maybe, just maybe, you make the world a better place (for a moment). I'm sure we can all learn a lot from each other. Another thing that makes sense from my point of view is to avoid stereotypes. If 150 people post photos of cute puppies, it's monotonous. If 200 people report on their failed online business, it's interchangeable. When 300 people describe the price development on the crypto market, it's probably clueless drivel in most cases... So be personal, approachable and open! That's the whole secret ;-))
