Whaleshares is an alternative, or compliment, to Steem (depending on how you look at it). It is a separate blockchain, but currently works similarly to how Steemit works. Changes to the default interface are scheduled to be launched with the next couple months (in private testing now).

I like Whaleshares, as my posts get a lot more comments and interaction there. I was a bit discouraged with Steemit, as few of my posts got any comments. I'm still on Steemit and it is a great way to connect with people, but I'm not seeing it as my only crypto social platform now.

Feel free to check out my profile on Whaleshares.
