Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re on here with us, it’s a wonderful place full of lots of great people!
I am glad that you joined us and are interested in crypto! It’s definitely the future! We have lots of great groups and communities for anything you can imagine so try to check out as many as you can, interact and comment in there on peoples posts and you will become another member of the ecosystem here! It’s a lot of fun and worth the effort, welcome to the revolution hope to see you around!
We’ve got a beginner zone, so-to-speak that has lots of important information you can learn from. I would recommend you check it out to learn some stuff about the place, lots of great information is posted there.

One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.
I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.
With commenting and posting, we consume what’s called ‘resource credits’ and in the beginning you don’t have a lot, you have to earn more. If you want to consistently comment and post, the website https://giftgiver.site/ does 10 day delegations for you to increase your credits to comment or post. Give it a try if you need some! Please feel free to ask me about this if you are confused!
There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:

Here are also some great communities of people you can check out! The list is a work in progress so please take them as suggestions but there are a LOT of others besides these!

Looks like your effort and advice has gone down the drain @cmplxty. It's obvious the account is here to milk whatever she can, not interested in engagement or the long term at all
Damn, well sadly I actually completely stopped voting on these intro posts so all I lose is a little bit of time, and save my voting energy for someone who deserves it. Thanks for letting me know!
Gave them a gentle couple down votes and a comment to interact and the down votes will go away. Let's see if they take it into consideration!
Sorry @instagram-models I down voted this content for now, saw you gave it a decent vote. I hope to remove the vote if they can respond and just confirm they are a real person who will do something besides posting a picture and leaving, otherwise it stays.
Hi @cmplxty. We try to build a model community and have also started to do contests. We need to ensure that we fight plagiarism and are planning to check that the models have done identity verification via Hivewatcher. Otherwise we will mute them for the community. As soon as we have enough participants we will issue a Token and a frontend for the Community via HiveEngine.
That's great! I'm glad that you're doing that. I think one of the great parts about Hive is that there are groups from all different kinds of life!
One thing I would just ask is remind the people who are posting this stuff to also put in some words, information or something into their post not just a photo with nothing else. I've seen a bit of that unfortunately!
Commenting and talking with people on their posts is also super helpful and important so that we don't have a lot of posts out there with zero comments.
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it! I learned something new :D
Hopefully this whole thing is starting over again, as this project is around for some tine (on that other chain - you know). You are absolutely right that interaction is key and I will strengthen our efforts in this regard. Thank you for stopping by…
Yeah, the forbidden one! LOL. Keep up your work, I appreciate the variety we can promote around here!
I was looking at this community, it's nothing but a bunch of single images upvoted by the same few accounts, no engagement. For all we know, it could be a massive farm disguised as a community. It's a freakin joke
That's annoying but not surprising at all. I briefly looked at the "instagram-models" account and it looks like it's not doing a whole lot except vote. Let's see how it goes though, I don't like dropping down votes but give me a break!
