RE: 100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 24 - Recruiting Steem Greeters
That's exactly what a bot called @cn-hello we created for CN community would do.
It searches all newcomers who written in Chinese and replies to the posts. In the reply, it would tell the newcomers some basic rules about RC, plagiarism, and where to find us if they have any issue. Also a link to our Steem Guide handbook: https://steemh.org/
It makes a daily and weekly progress report.
This bot is working great and save us some time to greet newcomers manually. But the main problem isn't there aren't enough people here to greet and guide newcomers, it's currently we don't get many newcomers.
Looking at this chart, it shows how many newcomers @cn-hello has welcomed since May 2019. Since the HF21/22 (Around October 2019), less and less newcomers joined.
I think steemit should focus more on instant signup and new users RC issues.
Good job @ericet, something similar I have detected among the Spanish speaking community, many months with few new users.
We see only a handful of new users joined to our CN community for past 3 months. This need to be changed.
We are interested in any ideas you have for attracting new Spanish speaking users.

This looks like a very good process.
Do you think your system could be replicated to work in other languages as well?
Onboarding new users in the coming weeks and months will be a big focus for us too.
All ideas for that are welcome.
Is WhereIN doing any promotional / marketing campaigns at present?
Thank you

Yes, the system can be replicated to work in other languages but some modifications needed. The code is open source: https://github.com/steem-guides/cn-hello, created by @robertyan, one of our @cn-witnesses members.
WhereIN just started some events in CN community. Hope these events will get more users into steem.
Thank you for this information. Very useful to know your system is open source and available to all.
Good luck with the WhereIN events. If appropriate let us know the details and we can mention them in the 100 Days posts.
