Thank you for setting us in the right direction. I noticed the same things for getting set up here. You did a great job setting up a community right here even within your posts. You have been posting consistently once or twice a day and have been thoughtfully reading others comments and reply. You also visit and encourage others on their posts. These steps are steps that I see in your community. I've used Discord and found it a good way to keep in touch. I didn't use steemit chat. Voting bots like banjo and minnow support are basic but I found interactions with qurator and their bot very profitable and when the vote is there more votes follow. The steem delgation is something I haven't done yet but will consider and again with qurator.
