Hey Newbies, welcome to Hive! And hello to Oldies if you've been around for a while.
One of the things we've all experienced when joining Hive, is trying to work out what Hive is all about.
All the keys, all the terminology. What/how/when/where to post? How to get support, how to grow my account. Who's who on Hive? How does the wallet work? Why do some post get over $100 payout and I only get $1? Why do people downvote me? Is there anything I should or shouldn't do on Hive?
And many many more questions.
Where can I find all the information about Hive?
Everywhere. That's the problem. Information is scattered all over the Hive blockchain. There is the Hive FAQ, but most of the information is buried in people's blog, amongst all the other hundreds or even thousand of posts they've written. You've got to find these people first, before you can even start to look for the useful posts.
Is there an easy way to find information about Hive?
No, is the simple answer. Unless you know where to look and what you're looking for. And if you're a newbie, then you probably don't know. That's why we've created @newbies-guide to help you out.
Who is @newbies-guide?
@newbies-guide is a central depository of useful posts about Hive. We find useful posts and group them together in a Collecton to make it easier for you to find information. That way, you won't have to search aimlessly on the blockchain for it.
Each of these Collections will cover one or more topics and there will be about 15 of them. We plan to keep them to a manageable number so the @newbies-guide account feed won't be clustered with too many posts. This will make it easier for you to find the information you're looking for. The collections are broadly grouped as follows:
- General overview
- First few things to do when joining Hive
- Do's and Don't
- Engagement and building your network
- Upvote and Downvote
- Economics and wallets
- Security and Keys
- Who's who in the Communities and different frontends
- How Curation Guild works
- Abuse and Plagarism
- Useful Tools and Sites
- Writing good posts
- Using images
- Supporting minnow projects
- other languages
In short, @newbies-guide is your go to account when you want to find information about different aspects of Hive.
What will @newbies-guide do and not do?
First and foremost, we're not a curation account, we will not curate any posts. If we feel a post is useful, we will include it in the Collection and set the post author as a beneficiary to reward them. We don't aim to add all relevant posts, sometimes less is more
We will not create any new content, there are many other people doing this already. We want to keep things simple and just focus on one purpose - manage a depository for Hive information
We are not a mentoring team, there are projects on Hive who provide excellent support and guidance to newbies
We will update the Collections on a regular basis with new useful posts. When we do that, we will make an update post and any post rewards will be paid to those posts authors
@newbies-guide and the team members will do this on a voluntary basis, the team will not receive any rewards from this project. If there are no beneficiary recipients, we will liquidise rewards and use it in future to tip post authors for exceptional content
@newbies-guide is independent. We are not affiliated with any account, frontend, community, project or group. We are here for the Hive ecosystem
What's next?
If you are new to Hive or are looking for Hive information from a single depository, please follow us. We will be releasing the Collections gradually in the next few weeks.
If you come across any useful post about any of the Collections above, you are welcome to suggest them on our Discord channel https://discord.gg/Y9UY6CmJV5. They can either be written by yourself or somebody else. You won't get any rewards for your suggestion but the post author will get rewards if we include them in the Collections. Plus you will be helping out newbies on Hive, and that's what matters!!!

You're welcome @melinda010100, we hope it will benefit newbies and seasoned users
What a wonderful way to help new and older Hiveans, most miss a couple of pointers, yes finding golden nuggets between the many excellent posts, this is a great initiative.
Well done and good luck @newbies-guide
@tipu curate
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 10/48) Liquid rewards.
Thanks @joanstewart, we hope to catch all the useful posts on Hive. It's taking a while, but it's better to do it once and for all, than for everyone to do it themselves. And thanks for the tip
Much happening, each author offers different insight, some are just excellent to bookmark for future, I know I forget!
Rather $0.10 or less. Most of my posts are earning cents.
I would be very happy and grateful for a regular $1 income on my posts.
And I am here for a little bit more than 4 years (since 2017.05.17).
I know. This is probably not the motivation that you are looking for, but at least it is true.
I have multiple disabilities, and my pension-like income in real life is approximately $250 USD.
$1 per post would be a good help for me.
What a great initiative. Bringing all the information into one place!
Thanks @sjarvie5, glad so many seasoned users think it's a good idea as well. Hopefully this will make life easier for newbies.
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 SO GLAD I found this post this morning!
I've been so frustrated trying to find what would seem to be basic information about the HIVE Ecosystem...
So many posts/authors use only abbreviations and don't provide any definitions or links to what they are writing about in the post. And Google searches don't help for 3 or 4 character abbreviations.
So Thank You!! Very much looking forward to seeing what you create and it is BADLY needed for the HIVE community and ecosystem if we want to see it all grow!
That's very true. We have to make it easier for newbies to stick aground and grow with Hive. Hopefully this will help in some way.

Excellent!! 😄
I am one of those newbies who has had to search and search to get the information and this collection is going to benefit us all.
Infinite thanks!
You're welcome, we've all been through this stage and know who painful it can be to find information on Hive. Hopefully this will make life easier for newbies
Love it @livinguktaiwan It's helpful and more convenient for newbies to follow @newbies-guide, look into the needed info and great guidance to grow. I realize there are a few Vietnamese newbies on blockchain recently and I will tell them to follow. :)
Thanks a lot @trangbaby for spreading the word, the Vietnamese community is growing, and that's exactly what we need on Hive, for more communities to grow.
I love this! Thank you. I am calling over @ybanezkim26, @traciyork, @macchiata @anggreklestari and @indayclara. We are all members of the @lovesniper initiative and I think a link to this project may well form part of our standard communication.
Oh, and you will be including those fantastic guides come explanations that @nickyhavey has written? So sad he felt he had to can @haveysguides.
Thanks @fionasfavourites, it would be fantastic if @lovesniper can help us to help newbies. We're all doing our bit, and I'm sure this is the case where 1+1=3.
We've got some of Nicky's bluffer guides, those were very helpful, sadly Haveyguides never seemed to have took off.
Nicky abandoned Haveysguides after a particularly nasty incident. I don't blame him.
I am adding this account to my LS curation blurb :D
The terminal has been helping newbies , redfishes and hivers every day for years now so great that two of our staff memebers are on the team.

Hopefully the newbies journey on Hive will be much easier with so much support from everyone
Thank you @newbies-guide , @livinguktaiwan and team for getting this together it will be a great help to all us newbies will keep track of this for sure.
Great stuff, we're here to make life easier for you guys, hopefully it will work!

Finally I got pointed to the newbie guide. Got lost when I was posting my first hive post.

Thank you @newbies-guide for helping out newbies. It really matters. I will sure read the contents here.
extremely helpful for a beginner to HIVE like me!
Thank you for this. I am now getting my teeth into the hive ecosystem and I find this invaluable!
Thank you, this is really helpful to me as a newbie.
Thanks this is very useful but I wish it continued, there are still factors listed after the DO's and Don'ts
Thank you for this guide, this will serve as a good start not only for me but for all the people who are just newbies on Hive. I am glad I found out about this guide so that I can share it with my fellow newcomers on Hive.
This is indeed a good start for me although I have been on Hive last 2019 and lost for the past three years but just this February I was able to return to Hive and this time around I will try to learn the very basics on Hive.
Thanks for the guidelines
Thank you for this guide, I will use this one as a beginner. I am learning day by day. I appreciate the works you've done with the community.
Thanks a lot for your guide!! I really need it🩵
This is helpful, thank you for the guide.
Thanks so much for taking time to put this together, l promise to go through all the guides as structured in the outline
This is a great insight as a newbie. Thanks!
I'm new to Hive, and this has been incredibly helpful! Thank you very much!
