I'm new here. I'm still learning and goodness, is there ever a lot of little things to learn. Steem is a whole new tech planet that I've never experienced.
I started on Steemit.com after doing research online for social media that pays.
I was so confused and overwhelmed to start that I didn't do anything with my account.
Then, a couple months later I finally posted. With the help of many great Steamians and the especially amazing help from @toofasteddie, I found a little footing.
I use my cell phone to post (It's all I have) and found that Steemit.com was SO slow 🐌; it didn't feel inviting and this is mostly because of my personal limitations.
I kept getting comments about various platforms but, I really didn't understand what people were trying to say. Finally, I downloaded Partiko and, everything started making sense.
I suddenly put the pieces together about how Steem works. My brain was thinking too much along the lines of Facebook and Twitter but, that isn't at all how steem works.
I recall server sharing networks that were popular years ago and--- aha!!! That's it!! And, that's why there are different ways (platforms) to be a Steemian.
Partiko not only allows me to post, edit, vote, and browse much easier than the Steemit.com site but, the incentives and community is much nicer (for me).
If it weren't for Partiko, I'm not sure how long I would have lasted around here.
Now- you're stuck with me. 😊

Partiko seems to be useful from what I've seen so far! I'm new here as well and luckily I've had a little bit of help getting my footing as well. It's definitely chaotic coming onto steem and seeing all the posts whizzing by on the new post page and seeing all the different topics on the trending and hot pages. It can overload your ideas and thoughts on the platform, for sure. After you begin to realize just how it works though, it becomes an incredible new learning journey. I just found out today how to better use markdown for example. I hadn't previously heard of markdown until steem and now I kind've like it's simplicity and ease. :) Glad you're going to stick around, despite having to post from a phone and it being harder for you to get your posts/messages out. It definitely seems like a place worth being, with a lot of potential. It also seems there is a strong community already instilled here, that has people who actually seek to help new members/users.
What a wonderful reply. Thank you for your support and great spirit!!
