Hello absurdistani! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

One tip for you as a new user:
Comment on many posts that interest you and that you have the most knowledge of yourself, this will help the steemit community and your steem wallet.
Good luck.

Just to follow through here, make sure to upvote as well. At first, its recommended to do about ten/day. Be patient though. It takes time to get traction here.

Welcome to steemit, @absurbistani!

The journey of a thousand miles can only end once you have taken the first steps.

I agree, followed :)

Welcome to Steem :) You should find quite a few others here with anarchist philosophies. The introductory post is just an easy way to verify you are not a spam bot. As you can imagine, the possibility of $ rewards draws spammersby the droves. So cheers to being a real human and good luck!
