Hello @torico,
I do totally agree with that sentence (if we want to onboard normal people... I mean, Mister and Misse Everybody like Facebook did).
it just seems to me that steemit should come with mandatory intro before you get anywhere. reinforcing shit like writing down your key, how curation works, how rewards work. basics.
This is why after 30 days, 5 Steem users on 10 leave the platform. And 9 users on 10 leave the platform after 90 days ! (Source).
The fact is that this stuff exist already on Steem. But severals of them are not correct (mistakes in it) and the problem is that it's everywhere on the platform (not a one place). So people get lost again.
This is a Steemit.inc job... or is it ? Steemit Inc, is more focused on the blockchain and that is a good thing. My belief is that we can also participate on this ... there could be dedicated frontends for instance but more importantly newcomers must be able to find answers easily (in their language is even better as not everyone is comfortable with english only)
Some people told me that There is no courses to get on Facebook, why would we have course to get on Steem?! Only because the blockchain and crypto concepts are not well known and understandable by everyone, yet (like the Internet, 20 years ago).
Good luck with your coaching / mentoring stuff :) If any questions, feel free to contact me on Discord, I am doing that full time for 6 months now ;-)
Most importantly (and this blows my mind) the answers are not obvious from the FAQ/Welcome page. Think about it. If people can get upvotes on posts about "how to use steemit" it's a pretty clear indication that the current "official" pages have huge holes.
Hi Roxane! I was about to reply to you above. I am currently working on my Discord Server List and have just added your Community Leader server. Did I hear that you have a french server? I would be happy to add that also.
