It's a very good idea for newbies to help new users and make friends by regularly interacting with the same group regularly that way you guys can support each other constantly and when you guys grow into dolphins or bigger fish you will always have your loyal friend's support... i have atleast 4-5 loyal friends i hope to grow and get more loyal curators.
The only issue/downside with that is with time it can become hard to keep up with a growing following. So people have to eventually understand that supporting a person does not mean they will automatically reciproate. They might be trying to regrow their steem power or may they can't keep up/ forgot ...
