oh no worries it took me almost a year to find out what discord was LOL it's an off-site chat / messaging app - lots of the communities on here utilize it and there is @GInaBot who uses a direct msg service to tell you all your updates, tags, mentions of your name and such
to sign up you'll need to create a user name - most people use their steemit name - if you use this invitation link it should send you there: join the Steemit Newbie Resteem Initiative Discord channel here: https://discord.gg/xcekaZU
just let me know if it doesn't work for some reason with a comment on here but I just open another tab and go directly to discord.com too so that's another way to get there
you're very welcome brother ! Namaste :) <3
I created an account but wasn't sure how to find anyone. I will check it out more. Is it linked to the STEEM blockchain or is it a separate thing on it's own?
It is separate - you can search for members if you know their discord name like I'm amariespeaks#9425 on there but the newbie resteem day has their own channel on there.. this is the invite, I think? https://discord.gg/DV4qsH
that should take you to the channel - lots of groups have their own "channels" like the minnow support project is another good one for us little people lol https://discord.gg/kNxM7T6
BTW i don't know if you are familiar with @aggroed but I think his blog and is PALnet (peace, abundance,love network) would be right up your alley :) he's a great person, super helpful and writes great posts plus hosts these radio shows on the minnow support project channel on discord they are really cool and enlightening - full of great people
Thank you so much for helping me out! It definitely makes me feel welcome and this synchronicity gives me a sign that I am on the right path! :D
