Steemit Needs Series #32: Pls. Comment with your ideas to improve Steemit!! | 12/23/2017 | Community Engagement | Archives to help Developers / Community.
Hi again everyone! I am keeping my word to keep the series going!
I would like you to comment with your visual aids or written ideas of what you think Steemit can use to improve the Community for features and why.
Comments sections here are GOLD as we know, some great TIL learning and tips usually pop up too here.
Part of the reason I do this series and share other things / series I do, is for the TON of new people coming to Crypto and Steemit daily, I mention this daily in a post or comment somewhere.
They need help and resources. They feel lost when they are Steemit / Crypto noobs. I know I did.
Comments sections are great learning places for all of us -- but new Crypto folks especially.
We are all early adopters here, if you are even close to reading this today. I say this OFTEN to remind people.
--
We can use Blockchain and Crypto for so many great things to help humanity but once in awhile it is fun to just joke about everyone going to the moon with lambos and whatnot.
It's important to gather feedback from new crypto and Steemit folks as well as older ones.
Views, Spam, Engagement & Meaningful Comments:
Views and engagement still seem to be down and that is why I try to do so many posts / series to BOOST engagement.
The last while I have been wondering if it simply because we have so many accounts here now.
I was the first person to blog that I am aware of - of us crossing the $300k account mark months ago. The other part of me is thinking -- how many of those are just bots because that is a rising problem?
And if there ARE that many accounts.... one might think the comments section would be growing exponentially with all our posts too, right?
Spam and spammy comments are one of the biggest topics now every single day in the community here and many of us are struggling with it, and how to deal with it.
It's OK to gather new ideas but if the same issues pop up, that is great too, because it will send the message that something is more important to the developers and Steemit Elders. My goal is again - use this blog post as a resource to help the dev's and the community members. I can combine them into one post later on if needed to help developers or members.
It is easily searchable also -- as I use the same key phrases / words etc. in the title to keep it searchable - more easily.
I was trying to pick good tags...... I decided to use the TIL or HOWTO tags -- hoping someone either looking FOR help on learning something -- or someone looking TO help on these things would comment! I thought about that one for a couple mins.
If you want to tag people or share it so others can comment and contribute also, that is great. I have my own ideas and see a lot of people talking about it, but as someone who is NOT - I REPEAT NOT! tech savvy like many of you, and who is relatively newer to the Blockchain and Crypto stuff, I know my role is limited to give ideas, I am just a Fat Minnow LOL.
But I have been an activist for years, I am used to building community and gathering info and trying to help so I guess you can blame the activist side of me for this idea which I think is a good one -- an INTENTIONAL POST on the idea, to gather stuff in one place and be easily searchable and findable for all the IT types and developers etc.
Just my way of trying to contribute. I did not even know for sure what tags to use in this post, and I actually spent 5 mins looking and researching the best ones in the past to try and use, before I posted this LOL. I will edit the tags ASAP if you give me better ones to use!!
Noobs can find the TIL or HowTo tags and nuggets here helpful, as I mentioned earlier here.
If we can get some good feedback going, we can use these ideas, all in one place and people can refer back to them. That's why E.1 / E.2 /E.3...4/5/6/7/8/9, etc etc - was in the title, I am hopeful it is helpful as a resource.
We must always head towards the path of Liberty. And help others on this path.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first ~13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

The search engine functions very poorly. If I were on youtube and wanted to find some obscure video, as long as I knew key words in the title, I could find it. Here, I don't even have a clue what I will get when I search for something. I certainly don't get what I search for. If I wanted to search for something, my best bet is to go outside Steemit and perform a google search for the steemit content. The search engine definitely has room for improvement.
Omg yes. ^^^^^ 100000000X The search function is useless.
agreed, it comes up a TON in this series, you are right.
That one comes up LOTS here, for sure, thanks!!!
There are times when I wish there was some sort of private messaging available for when you want to ask something, but it's completely unrelated to what they're posting at the time. Or maybe you just want to thank someone for something.
Also, when someone tags you it would be good to have a notification that you can click on and it would take you to the post you're tagged in rather than having to try and figure out where it came from.
In a nutshell, less Reddit (anonymous posting and replying), More Facebook (notifications, chatting, maybe even streaming), but still in a Reddit Packaging.
Honestly, I see it happening in 2 different ways.
1- Steemit becomes the new Blockchain version of Reddit (which it kinda already is), and re enforces its dominance over time
2- Steemit becomes more than that, and doesn't let others create a blockchain version of Facebook/Twitter, but instead does it ahead of them.
Or I'm wrong, and shit will go to shit haha.
(also emojis maybe? I know 9Gagers will hate me if I become the one that got the idea out)
We already have enough emoji people here and resources to same LOL!
Both come up a LOT here, they are great ones, you are correct.
Thanks!
I'd like to have two columns ( split screen) One for my page and posts and the other for my resteems.
Also a way to categorize all UPvotes, followers and groups of people with common interests.
I'm very OCD and like structure.
I second that!
Some of that has been discussed en masse, many times.
Your first one is very common on this series I run and the dev's have used my series like it says in the post -- to see what the masses are saying.
Thanks Dawn.
The password should be customizable, if there's a word like that. I lost an account because I didn't remember to save the password
Shoot.
Yes, something like that is a good idea.
Bright Info.
Im a newbie and trying to figure everything out here. The problem I encountered was that if I have a question and cant find it in the FAQ then there's no place to get an answer (Or at least now what I know about). I tried to ask it in the commentsection of articles wich were relevant but got no answer (yet). I also posted a blogpost to ask something but because new people dont have followers yet I didnt get an answer there either. So maybe it would be nice to have some kind of support. :)
Look up some tags I have run like
#Steemit101
-- it will not find you everything but it will find you some stuff, I know what you are saying, I was lost here at first too LOL
Just help others when you can.
Something needs to be done about whales who simply enjoy trying to destroy people they don't like. I have been watching people who have done nothing wrong, get $300 + worth of votes tossed out the window because of a whale with 40 bot accounts down voting. I could understand if people who were doing bad things were being attacked, but attacking simply because you don't like someone, feel threatened by their popularity or don't like their perfectly reasonable posts is not right. Newbies are leaving because of these hateful bots.
I know what you mean, believe me, it has been discussed a ton.
I've been targeted myself many times.
Search out #SteemitStrike
I came up with that related last year to what you are talking about and said content creators should just walk out for a week and see what happens to said investors and whales, with no content on a content based SOCIAL platform and some went with me.
I also left during a period I was making a ton of money on each post, based on principle.
It's a fact.
It may take something like that again. Today a whale told me if I want to post the memes I have on my website, I should not take any earnings when people upvote them. That is crazy. He says for me it is duplicate content, but it is not duplicate content when they go around saying the exact same thing to person after person and down voting them??
I am not breaking Steemit rules. I am not breaking any laws, and I do not give them authority over me.
