I read some of your recent comments. In one of them you suggest a community for newbies. I think that's a really good idea and that such a community could really help new users.

Oh wonderful, that's really good to know. I'd be up for creating such a community. But would you have any suggestions as to how newbies could learn about it?
Here's another example of someone who is looking for help: https://peakd.com/new/@wesbic/0b68b67280fc1
Shall we set up this newbie community together?
Sure! I think there can be multiple admins but only one owner. Are you interested in ownership of the community? I myself don't care either way. I can create the community, I don't think it'll cost anything as I have resource credits.
I also found out that there is already a Hive Beginners Tips Community which has a FAQ and a lot of useful links.
So maybe we shouldn't reinvent the wheel.
I've also found the following guide which can be very useful for newbies.
Ultimate Guide: What is Hive And How Does It Work?

And last but not least I read about a new initiative for beginners yesterday:
Hive Guide
https://peakd.com/hiveguide/@bigtom13/hive-guide
The only question is how to get the newbies to these information.
That is great, I just joined it: https://peakd.com/c/hive-198524/created
Maybe that would be a good question to pose to that community. I have a couple of ideas but would be great to have a larger pool of ideas. Would you be interested in making such a post there?
I'm a bit doubtful. This community has good info in pinned posts, but is not active at all and has just over 50 members.
I recently joined a Discord channel from The terminal which is "Your one-stop location for learning about destinations on the Blockchain both Hive and Steem & Discord" according to their community
https://peakd.com/c/hive-101265/created
The people in the discord are very helpful and have a lot of knowledge. The community is bigger, but has no pinned posts with basic info. Secondly the name does not reveal it's a beginners community and the community cannot be found with terms like newbie or beginner. So I doubt that beginners will easily find their way to the discord of the community to get help.
I'll contact one of the admins of the Terminal discord I know to see how she thinks about it.
I'll keep you informed.
I think a good way is to create a community and fill it with info and links to useful articles first.
After this has been set up this community must become know under community admins and 'veterans' so they can refer newbies to the newbie community.
This way the info is not limited to the 'entry' that is being used.
