Hello @disobedient! 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!
It's a shame you weren't more patient though. Your first draft of this post was pretty good, but your edit is rather petulant. You'll find here on Hive that the community is very welcoming to those who make an effort, rather that just showing up and expecting to be greeted like an old friend.
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. Based on the first version of this post, I think you'll find AI Art & Information and Programming & Dev to your liking.
Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the 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.
If you have questions, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!
Ah, feels good to have a kind human touch :)
Now I'm feeling much more optimistic.
Thank you @traciyork, you are added to my friend list!
Believe me, since I joined I am reading all the newbie documents like crazy.
All I expected was a "hello stranger" kind of reply.
I have it :)
