I know a similar feeling.. I did not do any posts for 2 days back in the days bandwidth was limited...I had problems commenting and a guy in steemit chat somehow looked up I had commented 20 times in a day and chastised me for it.. then asked how many times I post ..Lol.. hey it is great to comment.. I love views too even if they don't upvote at least they looked.. a bot can vote but it takes real people to truly interact by commenting.. love your post ..sharing /resteeming it ..by the way I tried looking up "tsufamily" since I used it as a tag on my last post and it does not exist.. however when I clicked it .. it took me to a mix an that is how I found this post. :)
Ugh. Anytime someone makes you feel bad, reach out to a friend that you know will be positive! You might like this post https://steemit.com/steemit/@pilcrow/minnow-tip-commenting-really-makes-a-difference-in-getting-followers I resteemed it yesterday because I thought it made so many good points. I often make over 60 comments a day...don't let anyone make you feel bad about talking to your friends.
I don't have any trouble searching by tags, or for users, when I am on my esteem phone app, but I can't find a darn thing when I am on my chromebook. Its not you. Glad you figured out that clicking the tag kinda works!
Thanks so much for the resteem.
