That's what I noticed, too. So much auto-votes with little reads and views. I see though that many of you that are longer on chain have build a certain community, and especially the Australians were quite successful connecting their private networks to Hive, having very interesting (and funny) conversations here. That's what I aspire to, getting my friends here so I can have the same.

I think for a first trial, my efforts weren't in vain. I had some bites, some people being like "Yeah, why not." when I asked them if they'd like to join and comment directly. And the better I guide them, the easier it gets for them, the more likely they spread the word. I'm hopeful!
