Steemit Needs Series: Please comment with your ideas to improve Steemit!! | E. 20 | Sept. 21st, 2017 | Community Engagement | Archives to help Developers / Community.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Hi again everyone! I am keeping my word to keep the series going!

I would like you to comment with your visual aids or written ideas of what you think Steemit can use to improve the Community for features and why.


Comments sections here are GOLD as we know, some great TIL learning and tips usually pop up too here.


Part of the reason I do this series and share other things / series I do, is for the TON of new people coming to Crypto and Steemit daily, I mention this daily in a post or comment somewhere.

They need help and resources. They feel lost when they are Steemit / Crypto noobs. I know I did.

Comments sections are great learning places for all of us -- but new Crypto folks especially.


It's now several weeks or so after the latest big changes, the latest Hard Fork (HF) / the Steem Powering downs latest rounds, many of those cashouts done and seeing some stabilizations, some bugs fixed etc.

The rewards pool is seeing a lot of changes again.......


Views, Spam, Engagement & Meaningful Comments:


Views and engagement still seem to be down and that is why I try to do so many posts / series to BOOST engagement.

The last while I have been wondering if it simply because we have so many accounts here now.

I was the first person to blog that I am aware of - of us crossing the $300k account mark recently here. The other part of me is thinking -- how many of those are just bots because that is a rising problem?

And if there ARE that many accounts.... one might think the comments section would be growing exponentially with all our posts too, right?

Spam and spammy comments are one of the biggest topics now every single day in the community here and many of us are struggling with it, and how to deal with it.


It's OK to gather new ideas but if the same issues pop up, that is great too, because it will send the message that something is more important to the developers and Steemit Elders. My goal is again - use this blog post as a resource to help the dev's and the community members. I can combine them into one post later on if needed to help developers or members.

It is easily searchable also -- as I use the same key phrases / words etc. in the title to keep it searchable - more easily.

I was trying to pick good tags...... I decided to use the TIL or HOWTO tags -- hoping someone either looking FOR help on learning something -- or someone looking TO help on these things would comment! I thought about that one for a couple mins.


If you want to tag people or share it so others can comment and contribute also, that is great. I have my own ideas and see a lot of people talking about it, but as someone who is NOT - I REPEAT NOT! tech savvy like many of you, and who is relatively newer to the Blockchain and Crypto stuff, I know my role is limited to give ideas, I am just a Fat Minnow LOL.

But I have been an activist for years, I am used to building community and gathering info and trying to help so I guess you can blame the activist side of me for this idea which I think is a good one -- an INTENTIONAL POST on the idea, to gather stuff in one place and be easily searchable and findable for all the IT types and developers etc.



Just my way of trying to contribute. I did not even know for sure what tags to use in this post, and I actually spent 5 mins looking and researching the best ones in the past to try and use, before I posted this LOL. I will edit the tags ASAP if you give me better ones to use!!


Noobs can find the TIL or HowTo tags and nuggets here helpful, as I mentioned earlier here.

If we can get some good feedback going, we can use these ideas, all in one place and people can refer back to them. That's why E.1 / E.2 /E.3...4/5/6/7/8/9, etc etc - was in the title, I am hopeful it is helpful as a resource.


We must always head towards the path of Liberty. And help others on this path.

Don't understand(

@barrydutton , I think something that should be added is an easy menu item, near wallet or somewere noticeable that is a how to earn money. This will help new users or people out of crypto get involved and give it a try. What do you think? @gold84

That is too broad a request for something like this.

It means so much, and different things to everyone and lots of ways to go about it....

Best covered in resources like my #Steemit101 or similar things you can find, tips, etc.

Although your idea, I guess they could link / include these things in one spot......

  • there are places you can find the FAQ type things you discuss here.

Thanks Quinny.

I make up nicknames for people all the time, it is pretty common place if you played sports LOL.

Quinner would also work if you do not like the 1st one.

Thanks as always man..... and for keeping in touch.

I have had another rough week IRL

Hey buddy~

You can call me whatever You like =)> been called Quinny a few times before though not often as its kinda wimpy. Never been called Quinner before but that one seems more fitting.

I haven't been on in a few days bee out in the woods getting some nature re charge. Sorry to hear its been a rough week. Sending you blessings now.

Bless~*~

What is your opinion on vote spam?

Any spam is bad.

Other then notifications when I get mentation I cant think of anything else.

Devs should take a couple days off. Go to some nice island and have a party.

The dev's and first wave of people who started this are fine, believe me LOL

Every one need some time off man. WE PRMOSIE NOT TO BURN DOWN THE SITE /WINK

S'more, the merrier.

@barrydutton, sometimes we all find good content with relevant information and after a little, we may need to go back to this information, so I believe it will be good to add a history button. Thanks

Great idea, some have explained it differently but not as short and sweet as that, thanks Rick!!

Do not upvote what inside the link, since votes on expired content only overload the blockchain and have no effect on the authors.
