I agree. A guild that you connect with helps. A community that you relate to helps. And above else, writing about what you care about. Sharing photos that are original. Lots of gifs out there. And if that works for you great. I am aware that my community, the ones I hope to attract to steemit, will bring a whole different twist on things. As I am sure anyone's community outside of steemit. So it is also a suggestion to bring friends to steemit, but stay in touch with them. Say it's you and the bowling league, well if you just post photos of the bowling night and shared stories of your lives together, you would have a built in community from which you all could branch out and meet new people. I do improv, so i'm reaching out to improvisers. I'm thankful for my friend, @improv. The sonofagun even took the name of the thing we all love. I'm happy to see him succeeding, but I hope to stay in better touch as we continue. Last but not least, You are doing this and I hope more people do it, take some time to say hello in comments. Appreciation appreciates. Just saying thank you can go a long way. Nice to stumble across your blog. Hope to stay in touch. Wishing you all the very best!
