Hi and welcome!

There are quite a few vegans around (not me though, I'm a happy carnivore^^), so I'm sure u'll find friends and followers alike here.

I can recommend to you this great guide for new steemians that I recently discovered - it covers about every question u'll have in the first month or so: https://steemit.com/steemiteducation/@theferalone/field-guid-to-steemit-how-it-works-and-how-to-survive-your-first-30-days
