Thanks for the ideas @steevc, I was going to seek out this 'papa-pepper' character after reading an article he did around 11 months ago. There were a lot comments and even you contributed!
I'm finding it quite hard to connect to people with my interests, and then when I do, people who reciprocate.
I'll certainty look up @skyleap as I love creativity as well as the others your mention.
I follow a lot, but have to limit the list or Steemit becomes unusable for me. I hope we'll get ways to filter it eventually. You can do this with the Steem-Plus extension for now
