Steemit Needs Series: Please comment with your ideas to improve Steemit!! | E. 23 | Oct. 7, 2017 | Community Engagement | Archives to help Developers / Community.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

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.


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


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.

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


It's now several weeks or so after the latest big changes, the latest Hard Fork (HF) / the Steem Powering downs latest rounds, many of those cashouts done and seeing some stabilizations, some bugs fixed etc.

The rewards pool is seeing a lot of changes again.......


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 recently here. 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.

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. -
Sort:  

Yes, we need it !

Need.......what??????

That was the idea of the post -- for people to drop ideas in here to improve things.

For example, APIs to post, and to retrieve some statistics.

@eileenbeach has voted on behalf of @minnowpond. If you would like to recieve upvotes from minnowpond on all your posts, simply FOLLOW @minnowpond. To be Resteemed to 4k+ followers and upvoted heavier send 0.25SBD to @minnowpond with your posts url as the memo

I would like to see an eBay style About Me page.

Ideas like this one, are frequently expressed, so it is a good one. I see all the replies and get a feel for things, and then express / have expressed them to Steemit Inc / dev's as well.

It is necessary to transfer your ideas mutually with resteemed post so that all will know

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”

Wondering how this idea translates to my actual post LOL

At least you know I am NOT a bot.....and I read things.

i need an steemit app on my playstore this would help people in a more flexible way and would attract more people towards steemit.....hope this turns true.....

so true , but not sure it well

Please FOLLOW and UP VOTE me Thanks @fakirafaruk

I'm thinking that we need a way to automatically transfer fiat currency into steem and vice versa without all these various wallets and having to purchase BTC first. Like Paypal.

And having a Steem backed Debit/Cr. Card of some type, talked about since i arrived here basically..... would be nice.

There are a lot of questions about this place.......

Happy Thanksgiving to you.

How many Police are we paying OT to again likely this whole weekend with our Regional taxes, some of the highest property taxes/ front foot in all of Canadastan again????

#Governance

A steem backed cr/db card would be good too hmmm.....

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. In spite of all that is wrong with the world, I believe that we still have much to be thankful for.

How many police being paid by OT? I shudder at the thought. Being a long weekend I'm thinking that they are everywhere.

As for the property taxes, according to the Fraser Institute, we are #5 in Ontario. When I hear people at work moaning about their taxes in Toronto, I laugh.

And this link is a year old.

I know LOL.

And always remember the sources......

The FI is a Right wing think tank also

When I was in talks w some people from the CTF over the years, actually outfront of city hall with their MOBILE DEBT CLOCK -- with activists --- our tax rates here were well known to them -- Candice was the Ontario Director at the time

(Can. Taxpayer Federation) -- also right wing.

and you know how I feel about r/l wings.

Best saved for hockey in this broken system.

Did you see my Guide Dog Post today????

I was thinking of you and your kids, please have a look.
