What is steemit
I am a new user to steemit and this site seems like a very different experience to many of the other social medias I have been a part of. I was wondering what kind of social media does this site want to be? Right now it certainly doesn't seem like it would be a reddit killer because it seems much harder to cultivate subcommunities on this site. It also doesn't seem like you can add friends on this site so it seems like it would be harder to tag different stories to friends like you can do on Facebook. Right now it just seems like steemit is only hitting people familiar with the crypto market which is a very small minority of people. Maybe this isn't the right place to post this but I'm just kinda confused on how this site is supposed to run. I just signed up because I'm always willing to try out new things

Hi @stallahassee Welcome to Steemit. I will try to answer your questions. Steemit is a community social network, it means that you are now part of a big community all around the planet. Everyone here can see your post and comment, upvote or downvote you, follow you. So that is why we ask all users to be creative in their post and never use sources they don't own. All user are invited to make a post that can be interesting for other users. Steemit not only hit the people familiar with the crypto market, but they are the first who respond because Steemit pay for the good contents in Steem Dollars SBD that can be converted in Steem and from there from any currency in the world. So again welcome and good adventure.
