Welcome to Steemit :)
Take your time and look around on Steemit. Read what you're interested in and write comments: tell the people why you like a post or don't like it, ask questions. Votes are not worth a lot in the beginning but reading comments to your post feels great :) And read other Steemian's comments, too, and if they're interesting look what they have written.
For non-English-speakers: Try to find a community in your native language, even if it is small it will be helpful and a little "home" here in the big Steemit world. See if they have a discord server - there you can ask questions more easily and get to know the people behind the posts or videos.
If you like to crochet you might want to take a look at @needleworkmonday. It's a community of people who love needleworks - knitting, crocheting, sewing, cross stitch... every craft where a needle is involved is welcome. Each monday we show each other (and the world) what we are working on, what we plan to do or what project just has been finished.
We share our love and passion for the needle arts! Why don't you take a look next time when it's #needleworkmonday again? You're welcome to participate - and it doesn't have to be a lot of text, though there should be some English so everyone can understand it. A lot of us are not native speakers, I do most of my posts in German and English :)
