Thank you kindly for the welcome, @tengolotodo. Yes ...
"... it is great to see you have our community on your list."
... and I have written my first post to it earlier. I am taking a pretty systematic approach, to begin, and posting once to each of the communities mentioned above. Two more to go ...
"I presume that as you posted in Silver Bloggers you did pass the age test ..."
Yes, well, if there was a request to show my ID, I missed it! Hahaha ... ๐ While I will be very reluctant to say much of a personal nature, that will likely be pretty readily discernible from my content. ๐ค
Please forgive the lack of an upvote on your first comment here to me, @tengolotodo. From what I read in the newbies-guides, my upvote on comments is wasted. Being pretty frugal at my age ... (๐) ... I would rather not have my money wasted.
P.S. On newer posts, I can award my micro upvote and have it provide a reward to those commenting. Earlier today, however, I got the notice from comment.rewarder that this post is already closed, for that benefit. It apparently makes its check after 3 days, rather than 7.
Don't worry about voting comments, it is a complete waste of time until you get a decent amount of staked HP under your belt.
The rewarder comment app thing does indeed only collect comments upto three days after the post is posted to curate. You are doing it right.
It is more important you engage verbally than with a vote on comments on thi stage.
If I were you then I would only vote on posts, and if you like a post then comment. Don't worry about voting a comment you receive.
I'll thank you here for all of your additional input and thoughts on how best to proceed @tengolotodo. ๐ซก
Understood. And I knew in advance of choosing to start writing that would be important. The only comment upvotes will be on my own posts, as I have now gotten some confirmation that it works for the partnership approach I touched on here in my introduction.
Once I have gotten farther along, I will review and refine these starting point decisions, as needed. And probably write some sort of an update post, if that seems best.
For now, my integrity dictates that I follow through on doing what I said I would do.
Talking about voting, try to keep your voting mana above 80%, the less you have then the even less your vote is worth...
Yes, I find too many people adopt a scattergun approach and post all over the place. Keep it simple, stick to a few communities, engage and get yourself known and it becomes a great place to be.
It was your first post in SB that brought me here as I had not come across you before, and yes we want legit users. Unfortunately there are so many bad actors around that you can never be too careful!
Okay, understood @tengolotodo. To help me get started right, I appreciate you taking the time to provide this input. And, if you were the one behind reblogging my SB post, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness in following up on our conversation thread here!
With that, I am not sure what you are mad about (๐), but I will follow your account and perhaps learn the answer. Hahaha ...
Have a good day!
P.S. Hmm. I guess I should read all of my notifications first, @tengolotodo, before replying to any of them, as I now see confirmation that you were the one reblogging my first SB post! ๐ค
Yeah I tend to be the curator for the community most of the time.
Not to help you get started, it was a decent post. Hive is about making connections and doing it right. You have sat and observed and are making good posts. You source things, you format things and you proof read your content.
Now you engage too, these are all good things that will get you noticed. Don't focus on rewards as those are a law unto themselves!
