Hello @lotuslasse! 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!
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 was going to suggest a few, but I see you've already subscribed to all the ones that came to mind! :)
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.
Speaking of, a quick question - I noticed one of the photos included in your post came from the yoga school website and was curious if the other two photos are your own. Could you please edit your post to clarify?
OCD Discord server and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!I'm sure @yangyanje will continue to help you as you begin your Hive journey, but if you have any questions, feel free to hop into the
@traciyork Thanks a lot for you engaging comment and your support. @swisshive we are also active in onboarding new users with @sandymeyer and really appreciate all these new efforts to inform users how to use hive as a way to publish original content and time stamp their creative content, ideas as artists, musicians, chefs, teachers, photographers, ... etc.
We hold regular live meetings in Zurich, Switzerland.
You're very welcome and thanks in return for shining a light on our Hive community & bringing such awesome community members onboard! The blockchain can be confusing & discouraging if you're not sure how it all works, so having people such as yourself (and initiatives like Love Sniper too...lol) acting as mentors makes all the difference in the world.
Bright blessings to you. 💜
Hi @traciyork, You are right; I noticed. @yangyanje informed me about plagiarism, being original, citing articles and giving photo credits. I just updated my post and will stick to these rules. I appreciate your attention to detail. And thank you for all the further help; yes, I'm a little bit overwhelmed right now with all of this new information haha. @yangyanje is opening up new topics every time we have a call together, and I love it.
