Homesteaders & Preppers on steemit - 200 up! - v8 [03 Sep '17]

in #homesteading • 7 years ago (edited)

Apologies for the radio silence, but we made it - 200 homesteaders and preppers on steemit !!!

In fact we've crashed through the 200 mark and now have 205.
I had said with the last list at the end of July that I would be publishing the list weekly but then it all slowed down. So I thought I would hang on for the big 200.

I'll probably aim for a monthly list now, or maybe just wait for next milestone at 250.

It is great to see the numbers of homesteaders and preppers on steemit grow so well. I know a lot of good connections and friendships are being made. Continual great content is being posted, and help and advice being offered. And new initiatives like the 'Supporting SteemitHomesteaders Members!' upvoting system organised by @greenacrehome are popping up all the time.

However I am concerned about the apparent drop off rate. I haven't done a full analysis yet but I suspect a fair number of the 205 homesteaders and preppers on the list are no longer so active on steemit. But they might come back!

This makes it even more important that we all connect and mutually support each other through upvoting, resteeming and networking as much as we can.

That way we can help grow the homesteaders and preppers community into one of the more buoyant and prosperous communities on steemit.

Following on from @codypanama's suggestion I have starting including the date that new people were added to the list. This might not be 100% accurate but hopefully it will help you find the new joiners rather than going through the whole list each time a new one is published.

While the list is still dominated by the USA we are expanding around the world with new members joining from countries as far apart as El Salvador, South Africa and the Philippines.

In the US Florida is just holding on to the crown with 14 listings, edging out Texas on 13. North Carolina is still in the running with 9 listings.

If you are one of the US listings without a declared state feel free to let me know your state and I will amend the list. Don't worry no one will come knocking on your door.

Here is the latest list of homesteaders and preppers. My apologies if I have missed anyone from the list that has already contacted me - just post in the comments again. Or if you know anyone else who should be on the list let me know.

        Great post @pennsif the homestead slackers group is a great initiative for the community to support and encourage like-minded steemians. And establishing the #homesteadslackers tag is a move towards unifying the people who want to participate and easily find and follow other homesteaders, gardeners, farmers and related lifestyles.

                Very impressive, it's exciting we've found so many people with like interests! I agree that more needs to be done to keep users active... I'd like to brainstorm more ideas so I can help keep the community moving forward too!

                Maybe we could have a check in system? Like if one of our homesteaders in the community doesn't post for over 2 weeks or something, we could reach out to them. Maybe some sort of buddy or mentor type system?

                [-]
                 7 years ago  

                That would be a very good idea. I guess the tricky bit would be how to make contact with them unless we have an email address or similar.

                I do like the idea of the mentor / buddy system - particularly for new steemians. I've used it in other online platforms and it has been very useful. Maybe it is something we could try developing through the Homesteaders Slack group...

                  I also want to add, and I think here will be seen by many, a reminder to take time to visit other homesteader's individual pages, by clicking on their names, and checking out their feed. I have found many great articles I would have never found if I only read my feed, or under the homesteading topic!

                        Homesteading is a lot of work. People come on, get the needed information, then they leave for a while. The internet is seen more as a utility than as entertainment to pass the time.

                        They'll be back when they need to look something up. At that time, they'll also contribute their 2 cents. Then they will leave again.

                        Us Newbies are going to be here more often.

                              What an impressive list of homesteaders here on Steemit! That's amazing. I haven't seen posts from many of these folks on my own, so I'll definitely use this list. It's nice to see so many homesteading folks come over to Steemit. I hope folks enjoy their time here!

                              And the list keeps growing. It's now at 210. New homesteaders keep popping up like mushrooms in a forest 😊

                              Will probably wait for 225 before I put out the next edition.

                                        It is true that while there is 200 in the list, not all of them may be active.

                                        Supporting each other to grow mutually and as a community is a must :)

                                        It also makes Steemit more enjoyable when you have real people upvoting and comment XD
