I also felt Steemit become much more rewarding the more I began to interact with people and groups

It is so true and honestly, although I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, it is impossible to grow your blog on steemit without joining discord communities. Probably a good thing when I think about it as it does make steemit the most engaging blogging platform out there.

Thanks for the congrats @papacrusher, I appreciate it 🙂
