Hi and welcome to Steemit, I such you luck on your journey here.
Can I suggest you look into the #minnowsupportproject - a place for newbies to get help and support as they set out across Steemit. We have voting bots, a follow train where you can get followers and much help and advice.
Drop in to chat at https://discord.gg/v3GpU4N and tell aggroed I sent you
I'll have a look at the tag. I love Discord too. It's a great place to chat with people.
we have a community close to 2000 - a very friendly and useful bunch of people to know
