I disappeared off Steemit for nearly 6 months because I was not in a community.

Indeed. This is very much a problem. Humans are prone to needing each other, even when we may be introverts. I do think that we'll all figure this out though... It's just taking a minute. Brand new territories. 😎

it could also be risky moving between sites.

Since you've been gone, you may not be familiar with KEYCHAIN. There's an explanation and links above in this post to get you started. Basically, you put ALL your keys into it and it stores them (encrypted, no one has them, not even the developer of Keychain) and allows you to log in to any sites that support the add on.... which are most now. So you're not actually giving your password to anyone new. It's all quite safe. 😊

I flipping LOVE it cause you can store multiple accounts and easily switch between them. Because I run @helpie, this makes life considerably easier. 😍

Let me know if you need any assistance getting it started.

Oh! And as a suggestion for 'finding your community', have you joined DISCORD? A LOT of stuff happens there. Mostly time-wasting interactions, but interactions nonetheless. 🤩
