Feeling Disconnected

in #life5 years ago

It was not that long ago that a huge quantity of my time was spent on steem and with the steem community. The last while I have been spend less and less time engaging with the community and even less time on discord.

Since I took on some client work in September I am flat out. I have been using parkito in the evenings as I have been way to tired to turn on my laptop. But partiko does not work like ot use to. The feeds seem to loop and I only get to see a few different posts. This is to be my last post on parkito as I am deleting a the app today and I will try esteem instead.

Hopefully then I can see more of what's going on and try stay in the loop a bit better.

I have to admit I miss the steem community. I know you guys and gals are still here and I can only envy those with the time. Steem is all about community and engagement and it doesn't take long to feel disconnected from what's going on.

User numbers and activity are also still at a slump. Which means for those that are really active, I bet they are crushing it. I'm not accumulating much, but if I had the time, I would be using this consolidation period to grow, grow and grow more.

Although I'm not as active here, at least I can say the places I am active I am promoting steem every chance I get. Not that it's doing much good, but I am trying. Brand awareness. At least people are hearing about steem. Maybe if they started hearing it from a few others they would be curious enough to check it out.

What's more is the places I am active and the communities I am engaging with is all work(except when i talk steem) I had more fun when more of my time was spent here with the steem community.

There were people I use to text chat with daily on discord. Some not as often. I miss those chats and the people. I miss knowing what's going down on the blockchain and I feel really disconnected. I would love to do some data post for year end, but by time the kids go to be over the holidays, I know I wont have the energy.

Anyway everyone steem on 🥳

It will be interesting to see what you have to say about the eSteem app @paulag. I have it installed and use it some, but have never been very impressed with it. For me, it's in the "better than nothing" category ... I don't understand why they still don't have an app that is as good as Partiko was 6 months ago.

@crypto.talk, the founder of Partiko, was one of my very first friends "in here." It is still a question about what happened to him. Most indications are he is tied up somehow in something in China ...

It's such a pity about parkito. It was an awesome app at one stage

Same here... Miss the continued development in @partiko and engagement. I wish we can get a team and pick it up where we left off!

There are times it is easier to be active than others for everyone I guess, especially when there are bills to pay. There is a lot going on here, but I feel most of it is behind a curtain in the background for now, but hopefully 2020 sheds light and spreads Steem.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Happy Christmas and happy new year to you too

Esteem does a little bit what it supposed to do, and less buggy compare to version 1.6. Still, it's far from what Partiko used to be if talking about speed and efficiency. Especially the useful notification. I hope Partiko come back, not because of how much I love them, but at least they're here to put pressure on esteem 😂

And welcome back sista !tip

I'm on esteem now and resteem does not seem to work for me. Yea I wouldn't mid parkito getting back in the game but it a long time now since there has been any activity from the team

On the top right column, select the 3 little dots dropdown menu, then use "reblog", that's what we called here. I'm guessing if you don't see the post appear in your feed is not because it's not working, it's because of esteem slow in updating. Quit it and reopen and you'll see amazing things 😂

Notice the previous comment were made by using Partiko? 😂

Its a pity Partiko seemed to fade away, I do like the eSteem App myself and use it a fair bit when I dont have time to get onto my PC

Wishing you and yours A Merry Christmas

Happy christmas to you and your loved ones too

Thanks so much

Cheers and !BEER



Hey @paulag, here is a little bit of BEER from @tattoodjay for you. Enjoy it!

Steem on :)
Sending you some vibes!

Thanks for the vibes..... 😁

eSteem app its an option.
A hug. 🤗

Hugs are good, thanks 🤗

Try eSteem App (@esteemapp), it works pretty well.
Is sad (I love it) but Partiko is "abandoned"...

Parkito deleted and replying using esteem

Nice! ;)
By the way, Merry Christmas!

Yes I reluctantly ditched Partiko mobile app a month or so ago and instead, just used SteemPeak through my mobile browser which actually works a lot better. Esteem mobile app I couldn't get to terms with, didn't enjoy the interface too much and so just use what I use now and seems to be fine! I also use the travelfeed app which has been great for reading travel posts!

You'll get back in to the swing of things, real life always takes precedence but rest assured, we're all still here, lurking in the steem community somewhere 😁

Steempeak with browser might be a good idea

No no, it IS a good idea 😜

@paulag,

When I'm not using my laptop, I use Steempeak on my Galaxy S9... by the way... we know life comes first... good to see you, my friend...
