This is such a great initiative. Not wanting to rain on your parade, but I am wondering about the benefits of the proliferation of tokens and tribes and whether they are pulling people in too many different directions. I admit to signing up for a few and then just abandoning them. All of that said, different strokes for different folks.
Thanks again for your initiative.

These are also my worries (not speaking for the whole team). I DO wonder about pulling people in too many directions. Though, I AM pro having communities that are small enough to actually matter. Sometimes it's easy to feel lost in the big ocean. 🐟
We also already have a token that is being regularly used in exactly the way I'd hoped.... so far. Who knows what the future will bring.
I'm open to the possibility of a Helpie Tribe, but wonder about the variables regarding tags and staking and such...
There's still quite a bit to discuss and research before I feel we are ready to jump in.
I've also 'joined' a few tribes, by, I guess, staking the airdrops I've received. And I know that whenever I randomly upvote a post that has one of those tags they get a little extra love. But... as for GOING to those separate websites? Meh. I stick to SteemPeak. 😎 And they just happen to have a handy place where I can switch between the tribes right there... So I do that. It's a great feature.
Um... conclusion?
I have no answers and am simply flailing around like everyone else. I just want to be as informed as possible before making a decision for the community (and make sure the community is onboard with the decision).
Thanks for popping in!
Hey, @carrieallen
I am somewhat comforted knowing I am not the only one flailing about. I am with you:
Agreed. And, IMHO, it could also be risky moving between sites. A sure way to either lose your keys or get hacked.
As for Steempeak: I agree. It's got fantastic, user-friendly features.
From your lips, to God's ears. I disappeared off Steemit for nearly 6 months because I was not in a community. I actually wrote about it during Dan's delegation contest earlier this year.
It's going to be interesting to see how things unfold.

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. 😎
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. 🤩
I have been back on Steemit for about 18 months after that hiatus which was partly a consequence of Steem's then hostile environment. It was also, in part, because I lost my inspiration and was distracted by some life issues. I was enticed back by @jaynie who got me on board in the first place and then into @steemitbloggers. That got me on Discord. I celebrated 2 years just a week or so ago weeks ago. Let's just say that since then, I haven't looked back - here's a link to my anniversary post if you're interested.

And yes, I do use keychain...and love the work you and @helpie do.
Have a good weekend
Fiona
PS Partiko is another app I enjoy because I can do stuff on my phone...like now... 😉
