I agree. I’m new, but I’ve been growing steadily.
Comments help a lot, but if there is no content on your blog, it’s hard for people to follow you and get to know you. I think it’s good to have both.
I also join lots of challenges and contests, because it give me a little bit of community building opportunities.
And yes, I recently joined discord and getting to make deeper connections and gain a stronger sense of being part of the steemit community.
Thank you for your posts and your help, it’s hard to get started but easier when there are people like you guiding the way.
yes, contests and challenges are a good way for new users to grow, also :)
