Community is everything on Steemit. What some people need to realize is community takes time to build. Some bring their friends along and it's an instant community. Others, like myself, came in with no following and worked hard to find my tribe. The main thing I've always pushed is the 3 C's: Content, COMMENTS and Curation. Doing those 3 things consistently will bring results, and the interaction is how we find the coolest people to hang with.
There is also a part of me that deeply regrets not remembering the Korean language because I feel like there is a large community that I want to be a part of - and yet I don't belong there. Ah well.
