This will be something I do every week to help grow and gather the community. Please comment your username below and where you are from. Also join us on steemit chat (remember to use the same username) if your steemit chat username is different, it will be a lot harder to put you in the channel. If it is different then send me your steemit chat username.

If you are already in the community, please help me by finding others that belong in here and send me their names.

We have 171 users now, I have seen a huge increase in activity from all the users . Here is a list I have found. If you are in this list please join please join steemit chat or message me your username (if you are not in the channels yet). Thank you to all those who helped put this list together.

All those from Africa please use the #africa tag.

Why are Communities Important?

It is quite simple: alone it is harder to learn and develop, but with the help of others. To illustrate this point: many new users join steemit, whether through a friend or some other means, they have not yet experienced how steemit works. They are told you can post whatever they want? So they do so, sadly they don't know any better and get flagged. Thus their steemit experience is negative and they leave.

Communities are there to help guild and support everyone in it, if this person above was in the community he/she would of easily been able to be lead right, had all their questions answered and would become an asset to the community and steemit.

Communities are a great thing as all those who are in them are different, they have different skills and information they can offer to others. A community that works together is strong and can do anything.

This Community

This community is strictly for any and all steemians that come from Africa. As this is just the start we will need to get all those involved to help find, grow and contribute to this community. I, with some others, will be providing some valuable information and tips for all those new to steemit in the community.

We will be leading and developing this community to make each users experience better. The object is to get as many active users on steemit to better steemit as well as strengthen and support all those who are in the community.

This community will be based on steemit chat (https://steemit.chat) where we will be answering any questions and helping all those inside it with the support they need. We ask you to tell all your friends and anyone you know that is from Africa to join this community and help each other out.

Project outcome so far:

As we are getting more and more users the channel(s) will need more monitoring. I was away for a few days and saw that I will need some extra hands in helping out monitoring the channel. I did not expect to be gone, but life happened and I was without my laptop.

@maryfavour has been doing some great work handling situations while I was gone. She is now added as a moderator and I hope to see some amazing work from her. If there are users in the channel to help out please do so. Just because you are not part of the moderator group doesn't mean you can't help out.

We as a community are equal and should help guide each other a long to a better steemit for all of us. I would love to hear your suggestions and thoughts on how we can move this community forward.

To all those who are being active, thank you. I hope to see many more great things come from this community and ideas.

Great inicitiave, all the support for this!

I think, this is a good idea to be one africa through writing in Steemit. We have to promote Steemit to the people around us by informing them the benefit to join steemit. We can inform our friend while drinking a cup of coffee as well.
All the best for you and other friends of Africa.
