Hey, @bashadow.
This is a great idea. Covers quite a bit of ground from getting started and finding a community to digging out of problems. Replete with a bunch of links.
Hopefully more people have read it than commented here. Plenty of upvotes, so there's hope. :) We really need a way to pin posts like this that are informational to an announcement feed of some kind.
And that is just the area's of steemit I am only somewhat familiar with. No crypto links, not much on conspiracy linkage, or information war linkage, or political linkage, or even travel log linkage, areas I just do not go to a lot, but I know there are communities for all of them, I just do not know much about them.
I barely touch the surface of the places I do go, so yes it would be nice to have a kind of one stop shop at the front door. But I guess it is up to us the users to try and help where we can.
Well, up to us in a strictly volunteer, rag tag kind of way. We really don't have a way to organize our volunteering that isn't somewhat fractured, too. It shouldn't be up to us to get information out to newcomers. Only if we want them to join the communities we're involved with. But it would be nice if there was somewhere to give them those options as they come in the door, not after they've been here floundering around for a few weeks when they stumble upon a post.
I think what you provided for links is good because you do have the personal experience with them, and know what the people in each community are like. You've set yourself up as a representative of each one, at least in this post, and so you're endorsing them. I don't think you need to try do that, or would want to, with communities you're totally unfamiliar with.
And really, it doesn't take super involvement, but it does take some.
