Steemit Needs Series #43: | A Fun Post! | Pls. Comment With Your Ideas to Improve Steemit!! | 3/7/2018 | Community Engagement | Archives to help Developers / Community.

in #steemit7 years ago


Hi again everyone! I am keeping my word to keep the series going!

I would like you to comment with your visual aids or written ideas of what you think Steemit can use to improve the Community for features and why.

Let's do this!


Part of the reason I do this series and share other things / series I do, is for the TON of new people coming to Crypto and Steemit daily, I mention this daily in a post or comment somewhere.

They need help and resources. They feel lost when they are Steemit / Crypto noobs. I know I did.

I had help along the way, and I always remember that and do my best despite my challenges to help people daily and when I can.


The Philosophy of Steemit:


  • Build a Community. Help One Another.

  • Blog. Comment. Find Good Content.

  • Get Paid.


Comments sections here are GOLD as we know, some great TIL learning and tips usually pop up too here.


Comments sections are great learning places for all of us -- but new Crypto folks especially.

We are all early adopters here, if you are even close to reading this today. I say this OFTEN to remind people.

I just love you guys. I haz such the feelz.

Crypto can help so many people.

We can use Blockchain and Crypto for so many great things to help humanity and that is mainly why I am involved, especially with all my past activism against government and police state corruption on the record.....

....but once in awhile it is fun to just joke about everyone going to the moon with lambos and whatnot.

It's important to gather feedback from new crypto and Steemit folks as well as older ones.


Views, Spam, Engagement & Meaningful Comments:


Views and engagement still seem to be down and that is why I try to do so many posts / series to BOOST engagement.

The last while I have been wondering if it simply because we have so many accounts here now.

--

I was the first person to blog that I am aware of - of us crossing the $300k account mark months ago. The other part of me is thinking -- how many of those are just bots because that is a rising problem?

And if there ARE that many accounts.... one might think the comments section would be growing exponentially with all our posts too, right?

--

Spam and spammy comments are one of the biggest topics now every single day in the community here and many of us are struggling with it, and how to deal with it.

It's OK to gather new ideas but if the same issues pop up, that is great too, because it will send the message that something is more important to the developers and Steemit Elders.

-- My goal is again - use this blog post as a resource to help the dev's and the community members. I can combine them into one post later on if needed to help developers or members.

It is easily searchable also -- as I use the same key phrases / words etc. in the title to keep it searchable - more easily.


I was trying to pick good tags...... I decided to use the TIL or HOWTO tags -- hoping someone either looking FOR help on learning something -- or someone looking TO help on these things would comment! I thought about that one for a couple mins.

If you want to tag people or share it so others can comment and contribute also, that is great. I have my own ideas and see a lot of people talking about it, but as someone who is NOT - I REPEAT NOT! tech savvy like many of you, and who is relatively newer to the Blockchain and Crypto stuff, I know my role is limited to give ideas, I am just a Fat Minnow LOL.

But I have been an activist for years, I am used to building community and gathering info and trying to help so I guess you can blame the activist side of me for this idea which I think is a good one -- an INTENTIONAL POST on the idea, to gather stuff in one place and be easily searchable and findable for all the IT types and developers etc.

Just my way of trying to contribute. I did not even know for sure what tags to use in this post, and I actually spent 5 mins looking and researching the best ones in the past to try and use, before I posted this LOL. I will edit the tags ASAP if you give me better ones to use!!

Noobs can find the TIL or HowTo tags and nuggets here helpful, as I mentioned earlier here.

If we can get some good feedback going, we can use these ideas, all in one place and people can refer back to them. That's why E.1 / E.2 /E.3...4/5/6/7/8/9, etc etc - was in the title, I am hopeful it is helpful as a resource.


We must always head towards the path of Liberty. And help others on this path.


I Keep Asking... Are We (Born) Free, or Are We Not??

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. Carry On.

If you feel my posts are undervalued or you want to donate to tip me - I would appreciate it very much.

Sort:  

Steemit needs...to make an exception and block one person through code from posting anything on the blockchain. Fun comment but on a very serious issue. 💯

Yep, I know what you mean.

The issue will come down to censorship/free speech and whose stake - they do what they like here.

Vote me

How is that rudeness working out for you LOL

Your acct is ruined, smarten up

Steemit should be more user friendly, the interface tho cool buh it's not first timer oriented, for example a person coming in for the first time everything looks so alien to them

Steemit needs to bring notifications .

You can get notifications when using the busy.org site or you can use the ginabot to give you notifications over Discord.

Bring more “friend” functionality to the platform. Like a “friend search bar” or toolbar of some sort for quick access to those who you regularly check up on.

I feel searching each time for friends can be tedious.. yea?

I think notifications are essential to building community. Quite often I won't see a reply to a comment until a day or so later which by that stage the interaction time-frame could be lost.

Other than that I think the UI could be a bit cleaner, it's a bit cluttered at the moment.

Hope this helps, thanks for the opportunity to give feedback!

You can get notifications when using the busy.org site or you can use the ginabot to give you notifications over Discord.

The have to incorporate a short tutorial for new members, at the moment it feels like you are just thrown into the deep end. They must at least explain what blockchain and crypto is and how the payout works, it is quiet confusing when you have a $1 post that only gives you $0.4 in payouts at first.
