Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
There's also the Minnow Support Project, one of the largest Steem-oriented discord servers out there. http://minnowsupportproject.org/ They're really good about helping introduce the Steem landscape to new people.
