RE: In Gratitude: Events and People who Helped Convince me Steemit is Awesome and Worth Sticking With!
I was wondering if you were going to mention the leagues. Of course Dave and newbieresteem needed to be included. It sounds to me like you have the foundation pretty well built. Now, it's just a matter of keeping on. Finding your niche for cat things, while making commentaries about us humans. I have to believer there are plenty of people here who have cats (or users who are cats, too), so I would imagine as you all find each other, things will only grow and get better. :)
Thanks @glenalbrethsen, appreciate the encouragement. Like most things, getting somewhere on Steemit is a matter of sticking to it and accepting that it will require some patience. My next objective is to build my SP to where my votes are automatically above the infamous "dust threshold."
Part of the reason for a "cat blog" was also to diversify content there... the weight on "crypto news" and "steem development" and "anarchism/freedom" is very thick here... for Steemit to have broader appeal, the content also needs to have broader appeal.

Absolutely agree. There's already a pretty healthy art/writing communities here, but it could stand to be more robust, too. Food, travel, lifestyle, sports, gaming, outdoors—it's all here, just not in large enough quantities. The majority of the folks that were first in are the ones interested in those topics you described, so they are the ones established right now. As more people come in, though, it will be those of us who can work within other niches, or cross niches, that will be able to thrive. It's just going to take some more tools from Steemit Inc, and some time to bring people on board. If we could get back the real account users that have not been using Steemit for a while (as opposed to duplicate or bot accounts), that would help things out, too. The more diversity the better.
I'm hopeful that the many community initiatives that are springing up, and some of the new community-oriented witnesses will help steer Steemit in a more general appeal direction. If Steemit is to truly take off on a broader level, we also need a broader base of appealing content and communities here.
