If you're new to Hive and just discovered the Proof of Brain tribe, you may be trying to get used to how things go here:
- What kinds of posts are popular in this general-topic community?
- Who are the people whose posts I look forward to reading?
- How active/helpful/engaging/etc. are people here?
- Who knows what's what at PoB?
As a new Hiver, you may be doing OK in terms of upvotes and earnings. You may be doing better, or you may be doing worse. Whatever the case is, if you decide that Proof of Brain is the place for you, then one way to boost your POB earnings (along with Hive earnings) is to take part in a daily talk post called POB TALK
What's POB TALK?
POB TALK is a daily post which uses comments and replies as a way of having casual conversation with no formalities or hangups. Normally people look for posts to read, upvote, and engage. What makes POB TALK different is that people who go there look for comments to read and upvote.
POB TALK began near the end of May 2021, and it's picked up a number of paricipants and commenters since then. As with any other hangout or place to talk, it has its regulars. Like some of those hangouts, the regulars look forward to seeing new people arrive, return, and return again.
Why should you make POB TALK part of your routine at Proof of Brain?
✓ Daily Chat Lottery run by @vempromundo.pob
Depending on how many people take part in that day's POB TALK, a selection of people are chosen to win POB. The more people who take part, the more winners that day's lottery will have. For more details, check out that day's POB TALK.
✓ Raise your Profile and Increase your visibility
You may have posted at PoB and received a few upvotes and a comment or two. If it feels as if you're just one of many people here, or if it feels as if you're invisible, then POB TALK is a place where you can make yourself known to more people in (more or less) real time.
Think of POB TALK as a continuation of the "Introduce Yourself" post we're all encouraged to post when we start using Hive.
In general, people like to read from people familiar to them. That's true in every community, and it's just as true here. By participating in POB TALK, you become one of those familar people. That helps you get more people reading your posts, and it let's readers of your posts feel they learned somehing new. Everyone wins!
✓ Discover More about People Whose Posts You Read
You have people whose posts you look forward to reading-- we all do. While you comment and reply to those people in the context of a specific post, POB TALK gives you the opportunity to ask questions of a more laid-back nature. For comments which don't fit the theme of the posts normally published, POB TALK is a good place to make those comments.
✓ POB TALK Helps Proof of Brain Grow
POB TALK has become a regular feature at Proof of Brain. You can say that POB TALK has become a focus of activity at PoB. While PoB has other features unique to it, POB TALK revolves around the people who make PoB a wonderful place. More activity makes things lively no matter what happens elsewhere. As more people discover POB TALK, along the way Proof of Brain as a whole offers more to its members.
Come for the lottery, Stay for the people, Return for the fun, and Grow PoB-- EPIC WIN!

Nice. This is a good platform for someone to get meaningful information about what one doesn't know as new user. With this platform it will make one to be more closer to those who are at the top. And assist one with solution for the challenges one is facing.
I have notice that only few awareness has been created about the community despite the numerous benefits. I think there should be a way to be creating more awareness for this hive commumity as a whole by everyone. One of the major benefit i have gain is learning a new thing from the community and this has been one of the major reason that made me to stick to the community.
The communities established for the purpose of guiding new Hivers have minimal activity, which I didn't know when I joined them soon after joining Hive. Below is how PeakD shows information about 2 relevant communities as of today:

It's true that after a while we're no longer beginners, but we're always trying to find better ways to get more from our experiences here.
Perhaps someone you find at POB TALK has experience with something you want to try on Hive. Maybe someone can point you in the right direction if you hadn't found what you're looking for.
Think of POB TALK as a way to fill in the gaps for places which have something missing.
Despite you won't stop learning new things the moment you focus your attention here,it is a perfect way to get new ideas and knowledge
Wonderful observation and comment by you mate and even though it as been a while here now since this suggestion of urs was made,it is still very much better too to point at,not just for this post anymore,but for other Future post to come too,I sincerely agreed with you on this mate
Perfect one from you mate and it is very good to see how well you are doing
