RE: Steem Enhancement Suggestion: Posts Could Allow A "Minimum Comment Fee" In Order To Limit Spam
I never go on 'New'.
I just keep as many followers as I can keep up with, and let them resteem new, interesting authors into my feed.
I see. Sticking to "New" is probably the best approach.
I'll most likely do that after a few months, but since I'm still relatively new, I'm going to keep searching through various feeds, searching for Steemians to follow and working to grow my community.
Then, I'll feel confident to screen out the "New."
Thanks for the input / advice.
p.s. Actually, over the past week, I have been going on NEW for only one reason. I go to the INTRODUCE YOURSELF stream and read which ever ones attract me. I've found some well-written intros by people who clearly have plenty to offer, and who will most likely produce quality content.
I give them a bit of advice and an upvote. And if the conversation with them seems to be substantive / interesting / worthwhile, I follow them.
I believe that's good for the future of Steemit, and hopefully for me too. :-)
Good piece of advice. Today I'm completing my first week here, and I've been reading and learning a lot about steemit. I'm mostly interested in blockchain technology and crypto, but can also enjoy about any good and constructive topic in general.
The way I use steemit, is by going only to the tags I want, like #gaming and #anime... yeah there's a lot of spam... But even new section is tolerable when you only choose the tag you want. (can't say that for all the tags though....)
Yeah, in one year I hardly remember going on "New", it's like drinking water from a hose. After a couple of months I also stopped visiting "Trending" too and stick with what I can manage.
I visit the new tab way more often than I visit the trending tab.
But when I want to discover new authors to follow and read from, I often "snoop" on other people's feeds and @majes.tytyty, I think you might actually like that little trick a lot.
When you are looking at somebody's profile you just add
/feedat the end of the url and suddenly you get a stream of fresh content that is curated by somebody that you respect or follow. You get direct access to their feed with posts from the people they follow.Here are two examples:
https://steemit.com/@dragosroua/feed
https://steemit.com/@mattclarke/feed
You broaden your steem horizons a bit without having to swim in the sea of meaningless stuff!
Great, thanks. I'll keep that in mind, and will soon give it a whirl.
As I commented on @majes.tytyty, I don't go to new section but the only in the tags I want... I think sticking to what you can manage is the best approach!!
