RE: Hello Steemit community! My first post
Welcome to Steemit msunbot. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem/Steemit. The official FAQ can be found here and is quite extensive https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also, Steemit is just one of the sites using Steem the blockchain. We also have Dtube, Dsound and Steepshot if you prefer videos,music or pictures instead of blogging content. And many more of course!
hi @janne - quick question; what does the number next to our username mean? eg, yours is "janne(46)" vs. "steemornot(50)"
It's called reputation. You gain it by getting upvoted by others. It does nothing except tells others how much upvotes one has already gathered on the platform. If you get flagged, your reputation will decrease as well the payouts for that comment/post that got flagged.
thanks Janne! excited to learn about steemit and all the blockchain goodies behind it. :)
