Steemit foragers are gearing up for spring in the North and enjoying plenty of other natural bounty elsewhere. Check out these 29 posts from the past month! These posts are still within their 30-day active commenting period. So you can contact the authors directly in their posts, to leave a word of encouragement or ask a question.
Introduction
The Foraging-Trail is a SteemTrail project to grow an engaged community of people within Steemit, who are interested in foraging for food and crafts. That means making posts and comments where we all can learn, share our thoughts about foraging, and show our field trips, harvests, and what we do with nature’s wild bounty.
The Foraging Trail tries to discover new authors posting original foraging content and to support the community's regular authors, too. Right now, @haphazard-hstead is the only curator. If you are interested in helping out, join the steemtrail chat channel!
The long-term goal is that people will join Steemit to be part of specific communities – like Foraging - because they are so active, engaging, and supportive. Focused Steemit communities will provide more structure for getting new people connected easily, without drifting away in confusion or frustration.
29 Great Steemit Foraging Posts
The authors this month have done a great job, presenting their own images, experiences, insights, and perspectives. That makes this Steemit content unique and valuable! There is no other place on the Internet with this wide range of authentic, informative posts about foraging around the world.
This is the 6th published list of curated foraging posts. Some great things to note about this list of posts. There are 29 posts from 14 different people, with 8 authors new to the @foraging-trail, and 6 repeat authors.
There is incredible value in these 29 posts! If you haven’t seen them yet, I urge you to read and upvote them – they are all still within their 30-day earnings period. And I encourage you to leave some comments. That’s how we learn and get to know each other.
These 29 foraging posts generated $224.52 in total payouts to authors and curators, for an average payout of $7.74 per post. With all the bots and vote trails, reporting on the upvotes generated by these posts doesn't have much meaning anymore. Instead, because the @foraging-trail is about building a Steemit community, it's better to look at metrics for community interaction.
What about community interaction? These posts had 424 comments, or more than 14 comments/post on average. How does 14 comments/post compare to what you are creating or reading? The median number of comments/post on Steemit is only 1, according to the Steempunks Dashboard run by @ontofractal.
