Wassup?! :)
Hi,
I’m Skip Hunt and live in Austin, Texas.
Only just discovered steemit and trying to figure out the lay of the land. Looking for a new social exchange that supports itself and doesn’t rely so much on selling user data. So far, steemit looks very interesting indeed!
I’m into travel, but mostly of the shoestring low budget variety. I’ve spent a lot of time in various Latin countries with the most time in Mexico. I’ve also traveled Southeast Asia, India, some of Europe as well as some of Africa.
Dig motorcycles, camping, hiking, exploring, all art... especially photography, film and audio experimentation.
Happy to be here and thought I’d say hey. :)

Hello and welcome to Steemit. I'm still a beginner, I follow you and I hope you too will follow me, I'm glad to new acquaintances. I wish good luck in the development of your blog!

Welcome to the Steemit community, I hope you enjoy your stay. So far we're liking Steemit over youTube and facebook.
Welcome to the platform Skip. The community here is great and continuing to grow. There are a number of vibrant communities that share your interests listed above and many of them run frequent contests. Again, welcome, it's great to have you.
Hi there!
I'm curious... when you say there are a number of vibrant communities here, what do you mean by that?
Still trying to figure this out, but do you mean there's something like different topic forum groups? Or something similar to subredit groups?
So far, it looks like it's all one big general feed with the only thing distinguishing topics are topic tags
You're right that steemit itself is one giant feed. It's not nearly as well organized as many of the other social sites. But people here make pretty big use of Discord for various communities. Some examples are:
Just to name a few.
In addition, there are a number of contests always going on. Some that I participate in are the fiftywords challenge, and the photo contests by @juliank
I also "first met people" on steemit.chat, so you could start there. Also as you get involved commenting on articles you'll start to see repeat commenters and begin to "get to know" certain people by their comments. People will begin following you and comment on your stuff, and you in turn, will begin commenting on theirs. A relationship begins to form.
Hopefully, this answered your question a bit. Have fun exploring the platform :)
Thanks! That helps quite a bit :)
Welcome to the community! If you need any help or have a question, feel free to ask, and follow me @tirke. Wish you all the best!
