Hello there @simplyimjustfat! Hahaha! Love the name!
Welcome to the blockchain my friend, congratulations on the account approval. I am shocked to hear how long it is taking at the moment, but I am sure there is something in the pipeline to remedy this one day soon I hope.

Oh yeah the dtube search thing has never really worked for me too.
I think that if you are here looking mainly for a community then you have come to the right place.
I have had such lovely encouragement from people on here and am finding that if I haven't been on here for a week I really start to miss everyone.
It's starting to really feel like some big things are happening now, there is this guy called @nathanmars who is really doing amazing things for dtube and is always looking out for passionate creators to help gain exposure on here. He is an awesome dude and is on a mission to make this place grow.

Your message was very helpful and you videos sound great, so I'm following you and will send you a couple steem for sharing your sign up experience!

Thanks again!
Have a good one! =)
