Well enjoy your special day once it arrives.
The community topic has been around my head too, and I know others as well. On PeakD you can scroll through them to find the one or other, but it is rather confusing. As humans we tend to ignore the small, not established ones and go where the ppl are. Usually the big communities. Another factor is the incentive. Sure, some don't care about the payout as much as others, but again, human mind is dragged to where the votes may linger. Others may have a hard time contributing to one community only. Or they even feel like they can't start to connect without looking like a gold digger. Idk, just thoughts. To me I would like a better way of finding communities, topic related. I have not a concept or community-exclusive content, some preferences so I roam around like a stray sometimes lol.
I found interesting having separate comunity for each topic.
I'm new around here and learning how stuff works. So don't bother to spray water on my face if I'm posting wrong.
Im also new to blogging and want to use it to also learn more about cats routine.
Everyday i learn something new and a good way to memorize is to write down.
I'm planing to share what I learn in a funny way, create some memes with my cat pics and also share some gifs related to what I'm writing.
Suggestions and guidence are welcome.

Welcome to Hive @kedleona!
It definitely takes a bit of time to learn the ropes... and no worries, we don't use the water bottle around here!
Best way to expand your reading circle is just to click on one the tags below a post that interests you and see where it takes you. For example, click on #cats and see where it takes you! Chances are, you'll find someone to follow! And then their posts will show up in your personal feed.
Also check my reply to @bulldog-joy, above!

Tks!

Thank you @bulldog-joy!
Communities are good for collecting content around a particular topic (like cats!), especially if they are somewhat actively moderated by their founders. As such, they are also a great catalysts for finding those to follow who have similar interests to you.
As for the incentives, a lot of people on Hive are more inclined to scroll through their feed, rather that visit the actual communities... so it can be a bit of a double-edged sword. Community building is not only a lot for work, it's also endless work. It has taken me well over a year to build the Hive Cats Community to just 175-ish subscribers... and I figure I'll need to keep going to 500 before it truly gains a life of its own.
I generally post to a variety of communities, depending on what I am writing about, although I always include the tags #cats and #hivecats.

I can imagine that it takes a bit longer to establish a community. Great effort though. I go through my feeds as well, you are right, barely visiting the communities on its own. I do once in a while but there is so much content to dig through and having little time often, I wanna get an overview of all the communities. 😄
