Steemit Needs Series: Please comment with your ideas to improve Steemit!! | E. 24 | Oct. 12, 2017 | Community Engagement | Archives to help Developers / Community.

in #steemit7 years ago

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.

Your input is definitely valued. I have been notified the Steemit Developers know of this series and can use it, and have asked for input from it to see what we want as a Community.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week. -

I would like to see an easier way to draw out funds from my steemit account, transferring it to bitcoin is fine don't get me wrong but the should be another way to get the money you make into your account other than having to transfer it into something else.
whales should be known by high lighting them on posts so that new users can see who is following, commenting and replying to them so that they know themselves that they are making quality posts.
a new user should be highlighted so that others can see that they are new to give them a fair chance on been upvoted, the rep score is good for this but sometimes I think that some posts don't get seen by people who need to see them.
Somewhere on steemit there should be helpful for new users to find the right tags so that they don't get flagged in the wrong categories. I learned the hard way from this as a lot of people would say to me to remove certain tags I had used.
when you put some ones name in a post ie @artonmysleeve that person should get notified that there name has been put in to a post or comment, this would make it easier to interact with people as well, so comments and replies would get seen.
You are right about the bots, they do my head in, what makes it worse they even put on them to write stop so you don't get them anymore and they still come to you. OMG please stop. There is a few of my friends who I brought to steemit who feel the same way.

sorry for the long comment.

happy steeming

cheers for the post

Drew

#BroHug

what a creativity

Playlist tab so we can group things together making it super easy to for someone to find similar content we have created without having to have a wall of links at bottom of posts.

Master recommendations list. That when you edit it shows up at bottom of all of your blogs. For creating an easier way to funnel views onto more recent and open blogs you have written.

Ability to star, highlight, or recommend column under your friends list. With an option in your settings to toggle your feed to only show those who are highlight on your list or all friends.

I would like more weight given in trending and hot to views because those are actual people.
