Welcome to Steem @cody758!! Definately hope you enjoy it. Best way to connect with ppl is through commenting on posts that interest you. And, don't give up!! This can be quite a quirky place so hang in there. Reach out when you need help. Lots of great Steemians around to give you a leg up. Catch you later ✌💚🌅
I agree, it takes a bit more commitment than the average social media but it can be very lucrative if a large follower adoption is successful.
