Hello @carlsdale/Gary! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive and introduced yourself - congratulations and welcome! I can already say that I've enjoyed your contribution to Hive so far - you have some awesome pictures in this post, as well as so many interesting things you're working on. I can't wait to see what else you have to share with the community!
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 noticed you've joined pretty much all the ones I would've recommended (lol), but here are a couple others you might find interesting -
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 @donald.porter will continue to help you as you begin your Hive journey (because he's awesome like that), 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!
Thanks @traciyork, we are gearing up for another round of Caribbean onboarding (via @CaribDAO) and Gary here is a huge part of the efforts. His contribution to our blockchain workshops are epic; a natural teacher, his personality and spiritual nature are uplifting and inspiring.
His movies are HILARIOUS too 😂… he’ll be uploading them on 3speak in the coming weeks.
Bless
