Hi and welcome. If you have a passion for cannabis there are a few groups which may interest you. @canna-curate, @naturalmedicine and @cannabis-news is also is a fairly new account supporting content in that area. I think there is even a separate blockchain similar to this which is cannabis focused. @barge could tell you more about that.
On the horticultural side we have @homesteaderscoop and @ghscollective. I know all these groups will be happy to have you on board if you're interested.
Also, I'll give a heads up to @nateonsteem who is our welcoming committee guy and has great tips to get you started.
...and if you post via your phone you might like to check out partiko, one of the mobile apps https://partiko.app/referral/minismallholding Yes, this is my referral link, but no pressure to join.
Hey @herbncrypto, the first part of your name suggests you may be interested in www.smoke.io, which is - as @minismallholding says - a separate blockchain which serves the cannabis community :). Smoke.io is a clone off the Steem blockchain, so the functionality is familiar. If interested, why not reserve your username so you can pick up as and when you feel ready.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Good luck and see you around 🔆
Just signed up, it says my account needs to be approved. Will definitely be checking it out once it does!
Thanks so much for the tips! Will definitely be checking them all out. I've heard about partiko - does it help with posting on mobile or is it more of an extra reward?
Posting wise it's probably on par with Steemit. It's still a work in progress, however, so sometimes ios is a bit behind Android on updates. Not sure which you use. It's getting better all the time.
The rewards are a big pull, but I also like the notifications, which Steemit doesn't have. You'd need a separate thing like @ginabot to get notification of when you've been tagged for Steemit, but partiko has it on the app.
