IsraSteem - an Israeli Community on Steemit ישראסטים - הקהילה הישראלית בסטימאיט

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I would like to start by apologizing for this post being in English. Steemit.com (and alternatives like busy.org) do not support proper RTL alignment, so this post will be in English, with a tl;dr in badly aligned Hebrew.

Israelis like to speak their minds. Offer us a reward for speaking our minds, and you might just get a platform full of outspoken Jews. So it's no wonder that once I looked I found quite a few Israeli Steemians lurking around. So of course I had to get involved and unite the people.

Israeli Steemians Unite!

In an effort to help onboard new Steemians, share my experience and help create a local community, I've set up an Israeli Steemit group on Facebook . There you can share insights, ask questions and share links to posts (in a dedicated thread). 

The group quickly grew to include over 70 people, both old Steemians and new. There are also Whatsapp and Telegram groups for Israeli Steemians where I am active. And this is just the beginning.

It is my hope that by creating this community we will be able to encourage the development of Steem blockchain interfaces with right-to-left alignment to attract Hebrew and Arabic authors. Perhaps we might even get Steemit.com to implement such support. Especially if there's enough of us.

What next?

So far, my activity in helping the local community was sporadic and unplanned. From now on, I plan to dedicate more time to Steemit and the Israeli community on the platform. While some ideas are still cooking, some things I want us to start doing already:

1. Set up a Discord server for the Hebrew speaking community
2. Begin producing video tutorials in Hebrew for local Steemians
3. Encourage onboarding of new users and offer account creation via steeminvite.com (I can spare the SP needed)

Anything else? What else would you like to see in the Israeli Steemit Community activities? Tell me in the comments.

Thank Yous and Notes

I haven't posted in a few days, so this is a good post as any to note that I've crossed the 1000 followers line today and to thank my followers. In addition, I would like to thank @steempty for his massive support, the guys at @buildteam and my beloved significant others @mrlightning and @poet that (barely) tolerate my neglect of them in favor of steeming.

Congrats girl!!! I'm so glad to see this happening!!!

I knew I'd find the time eventually!!!

yesss !!! So proud of you, and good luck !!! I wish I could remember my Hebrew (2 years of my life, TWO!) to join but nah, don't wanna annoy people by trying to understand hahaha!!! Did you see my Holocaust post by the way? Not sure if you have...

Don't think I have. Gonna check it out when awake.

Nope. Read and upvoted too.

too late for upvote I'm afraid (it's already after pay out) -damn it I should have tagged you at Discord for you to see it on time! But at least I hope you liked it :D

I upvoted it when it was live, apparently. And read it too. :) Didn't miss it in the pile of everything.

Thank you for this, I'll ask one of my isareli friend to join steemit.

אילנוצ'קה איזה תענוג היה לצרף אותך לקבוצה ועכשו את כבר מנהלת אותה!
מלכה!!
אם תצטרכי עזרה בעריכה אני כאן
אני עורך הרבה סירטונים לקורס שלנו..

כשמתפנה קצת דבר איתי. נעשה מדריך משותף בווידאו ויהיה מה-זה דיסקו

The difference between your English and Hebrew style of writing is just incredible :)

My suggestions -

  1. we need to expand the Israeli community, 70 isn't enough. I think we should post an explanation about steemit and the community on the different cryptocurrency groups that there are on Facebook. ( ביטקוין ישראלי לדוגמא )

  2. We should guide every Israeli that wants to join step by step.

  3. I already told a friend that is investing in Bitcoin and alt coins a lot of money and he said he might join, and he told his friend about it as well. I always try to find the right people to join the community.

LOL Yeah it kinda is. I am more business-like in English and fuck-all in Hebrew. :)

  1. I've done that. You can too.
  2. I am doing that in the Facebook group and other places.
  3. Bring them to the group and we'll help them get started. :)

found it and bumped it. ( the post on ביטקוין ישראלי )

Noticed. ;)

סחטיין עליך בן אדם

This is wonderful. Although I am neither Israeli or Jewish by birth, I am by faith a Noachide (non-converted Jew, but follower of the Jewish faith, not to be confused with a Messianic Jew aka Jewish flavored Baptist.)

Now, after that long explanation, once again great! I realize that not all Israelis are religious or even Jewish for that matter. Starting this community will be great for all the people of Israel. Also it would really be neat for educating people about all the different type people that are Israelis!

Really exciting stuff!

I totally agree with you! thanks for sharing your insights

Yeah !!!!!!! #GIRLPOWER ! Congrat's @techslut !

<3

Sent one of the Israeli guys to talk to you about writing in French. :)

Hahah :-) Great !

me voila lol ..

I really appreciate the work you do here and specially for the Israeli community, the help you give so kindly is the only way we gain enough power and get noticed.
And your post lead me here, i really thank you for that :-)

I believe community will make all of us much more powerful and it will be great!

<3

I believe so too, and it's awesome to have you here.

אילנה, זה מדהים כל מה שאת עושה והעזרה שאת מחלקת! תודה רבה! הקהילה הישראלית בחיתוליה, צריך עוד להפיץ את השמועה. מזל טוב על העוקבים בקרוב 2000!

מי היה מאמין שטיפוס אוהב חתולים שכמותה תפגין כל כך הרבה אקטיביות.
מנהיגה אמיתית
