Hello @stow01! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive and introduced yourself to the community - congratulations and welcome!
(I feel like I should take a screenshot of this message, dress it up with some doodles, and use that as my reply instead so I can somewhat live up to the awesomeness of your illustrated post! 😊 )
Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - Hive Communities. I see you already found OnChainArt, and you might like the Sketchbook community as well.
Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched Newbies Guide should be helpful to you, as it is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works. For instance, there's a post in the collection called 3 things Newbies should do in their first week on Hive that you might find helpful.
Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.
I'm sure @fermionico will continue to help you as you begin your Hive journey, but if you have any questions, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!
Oh actually, one last thing since there's been discussion in your comment section about scammers and account ownership - if you add the word "Hive" to your IG bio, and tag me to say that it's there, I'll get your profile validated. Hopefully that way you won't have any issues going forward. 😊
I would have died if you replied with an illustrated comment ☠️☠️
I'll make sure to check the post about newbies on the first week, and yeah, I'm already part of Sketchbook community a a couple more.
I already added the blog link to my IG profile in case you want to check it, and thanks for the welcome! I'll make sure to keep creating things that stand far from what HIVE is used to but always following the guidelines 😃
Big hug!
Dang, missed opportunity! 😂
But how about this - since illustrations are not in my wheelhouse, but
stealing pop culture gifs and twisting them to my purposetweaking gifs definitely is, I present to you...And I just submitted your profile to Hive Watchers for verification and added you to some Discord anti-abuse bots, so you should get a message at some point (as a reply to this post). It's more for curators who are doing their due diligence, but it will be handy for you to have in case anyone ever questions if you're
a dirty rotten content stealerwho you say you are. 😁I look forward to seeing what you create, and in return I'm...
Still does the trick! Hope to see more of them pretty soon lol
And I can't thank you enough about the verification issue 🙏
We're going to create crazy things over here so stay tuned
