Steemit Basics - How to Resteem

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

For those of you new on steemit you have probably seen people saying "I will resteem this...", but wonder what is resteeming and how do you do it. Simply put, Resteeming is very similar to sharing a post on Facebook. It posts on your "blog", but is technically still the post of the person who you resteemed it from (see below)

In order to resteem, all you have to do is outside the post, you will see a little bent arrow (as shown below). Once you click on it the post is resteemed.

If you liked this post feel free to "Resteem" this post and follow me at "https://steemit.com/@cryptowallet"

@cryptowallet I do not see the Resteem bent arrow at all. Do you know what has changed or if I'm doing something wrong? Thanks for helping.

You cannot resteem a post more than 7 days old.

Just im searching on youtube How to resteem in steemit.com after that i thought why not to search in steemit.com plateform only thn i got this post Thank you cryptowallet giving knowledge about basic things. also thank you writowrong for your comment now i get idea how to resteem.

Is there a way to do it with the command line? Why 7 days? Who chose this? How is it enforced? Why?

I asked the same thing

thanks, man. that really sucks

would be handy to say that in the beginning lol i looked to all on the page for 100 times...

Aw that's too bad. :(

oh man bummer

Thanks for this information! I was searching for the resteem symbol on an older post. I'll have to keep up so I'll have a chance within the first week... Good to know!

Thanks mate. I was wondering where is the resteem icon.

thanks dude - had me confused there for a minute :)

Really? I wonder why that is so?

I'm getting the same

The same for me :/

It is because this is an old post.

This was very helpful thank you. If anyone want to re-steem any of my posts please feel free to @joeparys

Thank you for this info joeparys
Can you say more on how you (we) can make an expired re-steem time frame happen once someone like you is contacted? I think I'll look you up and perhaps follow you based on this reply on how to re-steem.
That 7 day rule is ridiculous because there are already too many posts to see and research in one week.

There are a lot of new users on Steemit. This kind of story is very helpful. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for the info. Helpful

I do not see the resteem bent arrow please help me.

You cannot resteem a post more than 7 days old.

Do you get any financial incentive for resteemed?

I second that question! .. Do you????

...could things get too steemy?

It also is good for those who resteem as it gives there subscribers quality content and links to those who post the content

There 's no resteem button though. Is it because I'm still new? I really want to resteem some articles I found that interest me.

Yeah, I have the same issue. Maybe I am dense, but I can not figure out how to resteem this post.

I understand that if I saw the post on @cryptowallet's profile page there would be a resteem button (looks like a "U-turn" symbol). However, there are a lot of newer posts on his profile page, and this one is buried.

I tried the search function on steemit.com, but that just produces a link back to this page.

There ought to be a resteem button made available within a post.
