What you say is very true, many of the newcomers do not stay. This is supposedly why there is a curation team to support those who strive to make quality posts (Sc09). But to meditate a little with you, I think what happens is that in the newcomer community we can group these users who open an account and start publishing on Steemit, and then we can see their performance... But outside of this community, There are also many users who create an account, publish something, and then disappear, but perhaps they are not counted, we can also take that into account.

I have seen outside the newcomers users who come and publish but have no idea that publishing is not just posting a photo with a line of text, so they are invited to the community to guide them.

What I would like to point out is that in addition to the Newcomer community and the existing communities, people are free to publish on Steemit, there is no reason to stop just making the achievements, and in fact we tell newcomers this, that they integrate to make other types of publications, because that is what would really be a healthy development for new ones.

And just as you said, you can publish beyond what is established... but I think only those who have previously had a blog on any other platform know that.

The ideal for me is not to pigeonhole people into small spaces but to encourage creativity. Let it be understood that achievement 1 is just a presentation, just the beginning, and not exclusive, on Steemit.

Perhaps it is necessary to explain this, that Steemit works as a free space to publish.

I have the impression that those who arrive and only do achievement 1 and leave do not have a clear idea of ​​what Steemit is, that is evident.

Any space you reach must be given enough time to get to know it and integrate, the Newcomer community is a means for this, simply...
