Each time you vote, your vote power does diminish (it replenishes continuously over a 7 day cycle) but... as a new user... you shouldn't worry about power loss just yet! Enjoy voting around and discovering new people. Remember that voting is free (it doesn't cost you any STEEM) and as a voter/curator you actually receive a small % of the post payout. You can make STEEM two ways here, posting content but also by upvoting content.
