Hello. Welcome!
Please take a few minutes to read the Welcome and FAQ pages, which will answer most common questions. It's a lot to absorb and a steep learning curve, and we were all there once. Feel free to ask questions in your posts, on Discord, or in Steem Chat.
If you are on Discord, just about every community using the Steem blockchain has at least one server there for communication and sharing posts. I manage the one for Steemit's LGBT+ community, which you may join by clicking on the banner below. There's a brief screening process in our welcome channel to keep out the trolls and protect our members' privacy.
Worth noting that I upvoted my own comment to push it to the top comment on your post here. Generally that's considered bad form - though you may certainly choose to do so regardless - but figured I'd offer something more effective than spamming you with requests to fund my bid-bot.
