G'day, I'm new and obviously a bit of a dork
Hi! You can see I follow instructions. I can't remember the last time I did a dodgy selfie - so there you go- it is all for you Steemians.
I'm a writer, so I'll be sharing words here more than pictures, but I also enjoy handcrafts (like spinning and knitting). It will take me a little while to understand this place, everything feels very different to what I'm used to and there are rules.
The rules ... are they really hardcore about the rules? I feel a little anxious. It is that first day in a new school worry.
Is this a good place for poetry? I hope so. I wanted to join because it sounded like a place where people share an intention to be respectful and a willingness to engage with a variety of viewpoints. I've been so disappointed with how mainstream culture where I live (Australia) has been narrowing. We have loads of wonderful people and a few loud ... um what are the rules here about swearing? I don't want to call names, but we have a few very unpleasant and unkind people. They don't make for happy poetry.
So thanks for including me and I look forward to finding my way to the canteen and the library soon. Hope to see you there. :-)

"are they really hardcore about the rules?"
It depends on the rule. As long as you don't spam or post other people's content, most things will be okay and from what you wrote, it doesn't sound like that was what you were planning to do.
Things can be a little slow when you start so don't take it personally if your early posts preform more poorly than you might hope. At first, commenting is often more fruitful that posting so you might want to find a good balance between the two.
There are a bunch of spammers and scams that will pop up in your comments section. Just use your best judgment. Don't click any shady looking links and don't waste upvotes on generic comments like "nice post" or "great pic."
You should do fine here. Good luck.

Hello @orbitaltorch! Welcome to the Steemit community! There is quite a learning curve here but if you stay active and mingle within the community you will catch on to quite a bit. If you write original and quality content and interact with others you’ll be on the right track.
Whenever you are in the mood to share your spinning and knitting we’d love for you to join us on Monday’s! Every Monday us needleworkers get together to share our work, patterns, tips, shortcuts and to inspire each other. All you have to do is use the #needleworkmonday so we can find you. When using the tag your post must be needlework related. We love seeing projects come to life so please take us on the journey with you and share process pictures of your work. No need to wait until a project is complete to post. To learn more about what we do please visit our Introduction Post!
I hope to see you around. I wish you well on your Steemit journey ~ 😊
