Welcome to Steemit broski808. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem/Steemit. The official FAQ can be found here and is quite extensive https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also, Steemit is just one of the sites using Steem the blockchain. We also have Dtube, Dsound and Steepshot if you prefer videos,music or pictures instead of blogging content. And many more of course!
Thank you @janne! I have been curious what people meant when they referenced those platforms. I thought they were extensions of youtube or something but this is Farbetter! All that info compiled would have been very useful on this first post as well. You've been a big help thanks! Keep in contact and lets chat later.
