Your post is one that could almost be me. I've been here since Oct and still believe moving to the Steemit platform was the wisest choice I could have made. FB is no longer serving the purpose I'd intended. I still must jump over there as admin of one group and still active member of several, but it is always with a sickening feeling that I must ever re-visit that platform.
It took me a bit of time to feel my way around here on Steemit, but putting my focus on the things that are important to me I was able to find what I was looking for. I am sure you will as well.
The word around the Steemit community is that we may have an option for "groups" in the near future. I think that will very beneficial for many of us that are like minded.
Welcome the world of Steemians!
Thanks for the affirmation of my experience in moving over to this platform! And I also appreciate the encouragement to keep at it here; thanks so much, again, for your comment. (And Steemit groups would be awesome).
