Hi Thom,

There’s definitely loads of friendly people on here :>)

Discord is a chat platform, separate from Steemit ( originally developed for gamers ) where us Steemians gather in groups and communities to connect, make friends, help each other and so on. There’s radio shows and even group meditation. Whatever you can think of.

It’s for further communication, outside the blog (comments) and will help you loads.

Just Google it, install the app and get started. Let me know if you need any help.
