I see you are writing some pretty great and helpful posts. I suggest you leave some comments though, those are critical for long-term success here. I know you are having issues with resource credits right now, I see that you are currently at .50% which is tough but if you spend time on comments, people will be more willing to help you out with some delegation of credits so you can keep it up. Hopefully you can take that into consideration!

Thanks for the advice, I was on vacation for 6 days, but I will try to be more engaging with the community in the future. At this moment I'm preparing a post about the importance of algorithms and where to practice. I hope it will bring value to somebody. 😄
That's great, no worries! Vacation is critical in my opinion lol I'm glad you responded! If you run out of resource credits and the blockchain yells at you let me know and I can delegate you some more! It takes a few weeks to get enough credits to be able to post and comment consistently. Usually around 50 Hive Power is good enough for whatever you need to do.
Thanks a lot! I think I can manage and postpone my posts for a little bit until I get 50 HP. I'm still testing stuff on Hive to see what works best.
The thing I don't get is Reputation, I get it that if the poster has a negative reputation his posts are hidden, but if the reputation points are positive, does it make a difference if it is 20 or 70?
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the reputation score. It’s a bit of a gamed system. It depends on the upvotes you get. If you get a lot of really strong upvotes worth like 10-20$ on your posts then your reputation goes up. Same is true for down votes, people who plagiarize stuff, harass people or beg for upvotes usually get down voted pretty fast and strong. This kills their “reputation” as it’s known. I would spend time on the content and the comments. The rest will come with time! Resource credits are a relatively new phenomenon but they are required. It’s a way to calculate the cost of a transaction on the chain and it helps a lot to reduce spam and stuff. You have to have a minimum amount of hive power to interact and if you are looking to be a jerk and spam all kinds of stuff you won’t get far unless you buy hive to do it. Most people won’t do that so they will spam for a little bit, get annoyed they can’t keep going and leave.
I’ve been here nearly 4 years and I’m still learning stuff so don’t sweat it! Lol
A good cadence if you're looking to post long stuff is once a week.
If you are out there looking to comment, the Ecency front end is the best. You can interact with people on the chain with votes and comments and things and that earns you points which you can use to "boost" (vote) on your posts. A boost can be anywhere from 1$ to like 5$ but the owners of Ecency manually review the boost requests. It's a really good way to help get yourself some hive power and it helps reward you for doing good things like commenting!
