MeetCommunity #2: Hello #indonesia community! We are #polish community. We would like to know more about you!
Introduction
Some time ago I wanted to find out what are the non-English language communities on Steem. And I created this post. It turned out that the #indonesia community is the second largest non-English community on Steem (in terms of number of posts added)! I thought that it's time to get to know each other better :) Especially that this year SteemFest is taking place in Poland, so maybe some people would like to ask questions to Polish people. This post will be entirely written in English so that both sides can understand it :)
This article will be divided into two parts:
- the first with our questions to #indonesia community
- the second with our answers to these questions.
Before we get to the main part, let's look at some statistics (from 01.01.2018 to 31.08.2018).

Our answers
1: How would you describe the #polish community in a few sentences?
The #polish community may not be too big, but it is well organized. Our main channel of communication is https://steem.chat/channel/polish. Every month we have statistics that present the current state of the community: https://steemit.com/polish/@jacekw/przekroj-spolecznosci-polish-sierpien-2018.
2: Which #polish users are most recognized on Steem?
- @gtg - top Steem witness, IT Wizard
- @noisy - creator of SteemProjects, WISE, witness
- @the.foodini - wants to open the world's first STEEMtruck
- @highonthehog - fantastic blogger, travels around the world
3: What Steem projects have been created by people from your community?
- SteemProjects by @noisy
- WISE by @noisy
- SteemFounders by @santarius & @nicniezgrublem
- Engrave by @nicniezgrublem
- SteemWeb by @rafalski
- SteemNova by @mys & @fervi
- Steeditor by @jakipatryk
- DGameShop & DGameLand by @fervi
- glodniwiedzy.pl by @nicniezgrublem
- gameeit by @rolsonpatison & @barbarossastudio & @nervi
4: What witnesses do you have?
- @gtg (3)
- @noisy.witness (51)
- @jamzed (143)
5: Does the #polish community stick together or is it divided into many groups?
Despite the fact that we often argue, create different subgroups and have some dramas, as a community we rather stick together.
6: What principles / conventions / initiative have you developed?
- We have a pretty well-organized system of tags with the prefix
pl-, thanks to which Polish-language posts do not reach English-speaking recipients (it would happen if the tag is a word in both languages). The tree of tags can be seen here: https://steemweb.pl/categories. - Each week we organize a contest in which we write posts on one of the 3 topics (which were drawn on Wikipedia): https://steemit.com/tematygodnia/@steemit-polska/tematy-tygodnia-tematygodnia-47-tematy. The initiative has been running for 46 weeks now.
- A summary of the best articles of the week is posted by a dozen or so editors in the Tygodnik Kuratorski.
- #pl-publikacje - an initiative of writing articles promoting Steem to various newspapers
We also have many curation initiatives:
- @diosbot - bot that upvotes good articles
- WISE - system that delegates vote of one user to other users (experts)
- #perpetuummobile - curation system to support authors writing in some popular #polish tags
7: What are the biggest problems of the #polish community?
- decline in activity in recent months
- there are smaller and larger dramas ;)
- people are discouraged by falling rewards
8: Pierogi!

Terima kasih banyak atas semua jawaban dan saya juga mendorong Anda untuk mengajukan pertanyaan tambahan!
Zachęcam do aktywnego udziału w dyskusji, zadawania pytań i udzielania odpowiedzi!
I would also like to mention that I think the series of posts League of Excellence and Curation Leagues is awesome and @paulag is doing a great job!
Previous posts from this series:
Hi jacekw. I am an Indonesian steemian. Thanks @paulag for informing me about this awesome informative post.
Let me go to the question part and give my answer.
This is a great post. Makes me think.
Thanks.
thanks for mentioning me <3
Thanks for all the answers, I really apreciate it!
Do these groups concern any specific topics or were they created for other reasons?
They were created for one same purpose in general: supporting Indonesian steemians who post good articles, the difference are the methods they each have and also the power. The firts three are "major players", while the last one was established 5 weeks ago (arTeem). I and @rayfa are the initiators of Inisiatif arTeem, with support from steemcommunity witness ( @paulag and @abh12345 ). @paulag has done much for Indonesia community, and I said that not because she and her partner, Asher, are suporting Inisiatif arTeem, they have done lots of great works on Steem Blockchain especially @paulag for #indonesia community.
thanks fo mentoring too
Hi @jacekw, here my answers :
Steemit users in Indonesia are many but not well organized like the #polish community
There are lot of indonesian steemian are most recognized on steem :
@levycore : #indonesian kurator, KSI leader
@aiqabrago, @kemal13, @ayijufridar, @mariska.lubis : KSI and sndbox member
@dodybireuen, @binjeeclick : NSC members
@anazs, @vannour, @steemvest17 : Atjeh Steemit Community
@yandot, @bahagia-arbi : eSteem kurators
@arie.steem : sevenfingers member
I don't know
There have been witnesses from Indonesia such as @vesteem and @akmalz, but it stopped when steem price fall. As far as I know, now there are only two witnesses from Indonesia, @puncakbukit and @thekitchenfairy
Communities in Indonesia are not stick together but divided into several communities such as KSI, NSC, BSC, Atjeh Steemit Community, sevenfingers and others
As far as I know, there are some initiatives that have been developed to support the Indonesian community such as nscgift, garudakita, sevenfingers, arteem
Big problems in the Indonesian community seem to be the same as those faced by other communities, unfair rewards, many good articles that have not received proper curation so that some finally leave the board
The most popular Indonesian dish is RENDANG
Aceh is one of the provinces in Indonesia. Aceh was the gateway to steemit's entry into Indonesia at the end of 2016. Many high-reputation steemians came from Aceh
thanks for tagging me! <3
As for @akmalz, I believe it wasnt due to low Steem value, but he missed his first initial block, followed with second, more likely incomplete/out dated set up. I have offered my help via @alhidayat a couple of months ago, should akmalz need help in setting up since many of the tutorials on Steemit are not always easy to follow.
I also have initiatives such as #ramadan-tkf, #lagu-tkf, AND #nusantara, where I go around for curating Indonesians or whoever use those tags but Ramadan was only during Ramadhan, Lagu was for Indonesia Independence Day, while Nusantara is ongoing always :)
I didnt know you are a witness from this region @thekitchenfairy. Fantastic.

Thanks @paulag 😊
Hi @thekitchenfairy.. thanks for the feedback :)
I don't know if @akmalz missed his initial block, but @vesteem has problem with the server cost.. hope you can running the witness succesfully.. regards
Pleasure <3
May i know, what you think, the most popular dish from Indonesia?
May i know, what you
Think, the most popular dish
From Indonesia?
- rayfa
I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Definitely RENDANG, even CNN says so hahaha
Hidup Rendang, yum!!!
(one of the reasons my husband asked me to be his wife was thanks to Rendang :P he loves my cooking :D)
Hahahaha... the memory of Rendang, maybe this can be considered to be one of the menus in Steemfest3, representing the Indonesian community
I dont think the post asked about Aceh and Indonesia in geographical or geopolitical term, but more of two steem communities. I missed this question, actually. 😀
Thanks, @rayfa.
I think that can answer why #indonesia and #aceh form a slice in the graph above, there is no political issue here
Oh okay. My bad.
Hm, I would really love to read something :/. Maybe not the timezone or too little interest in and knowledge of English articles..?
I'm also surprised that there are still no comments. I suspect that I added at the wrong moment, and then the post quickly got lost among others. Next time I will pay more attention to timing.
Tomorrow I will try to promote this post (with help of some people) and write on their discord channel :)
I have just resteemed and dropped a link into the community channel, I would say you will get some replies tomorrow :-)
Wonderful very helpful tags you told to build community thanks @princeuk12
@cicisaja, @el-nailul, will you respond to this post? Oh, and @gibic?
