RE: Advice for Those New to Steemit and How to Maximize Your Time Here
You might also add, go look for communities on discord or steemit.chat. Finding real people that post quality content is a good way to get advice and find quality people to follow (or so advises the commenter that's been so busy lately they haven't been in either steemit.chat or on discord...)
Resteem and upvote content that you like
But don't resteem everything you like. I've unfollowed people because of the mess of unrelated resteems so deep I couldn't find their posts in my feed. I've heard confessions from others that have done the same. Maybe we're a minority, but you might want to make sure you get your own content up in addition to the resteems.
Don’t spam
In addition to this, do comment on other's people's stuff after posting, quite often I go check out the commenters blog after I see their votes or meaningful comments looking to for stuff to vote on.
Some great points there. Definitely things that need to be brought up. I have seen people resteem so much stuff that I have also unfollowed them because I couldn't remember why I started following them in the first place. I try to keep my resteems to specific topics that I also produce content in.
Upvoting good comments is a feature that so many are missing out on. I have seen great comments that made more sense than the content they were commenting on and seen those comments receive little to no upvotes. I feel if we want better interaction with our friends here, we need to make use of the incentive available to do so.
It's great to see posts like yours that are encouraging us all to use Steemit responsibly.
Now that makes good sense, to avoid the potential hodge podge you could have otherwise. I think I will adopt that for myself.
I upvoted this post. May it be seen more widely!
