Steemit Needs Series: Please comment with your ideas to improve Steemit!! | E. 15 | Aug. 22nd, 2017 | Community Engagement | Archives to help Developers / Community.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Hi again everyone! I am keeping my word to keep the series going!

I would like you to comment with your visual aids or written ideas of what you think Steemit can use to improve the Community for features and why.


Comments sections here are GOLD as we know, some great TIL learning and tips usually pop up too here.


Part of the reason I do this series and share other things / series I do, is for the TON of new people coming to Crypto and Steemit daily, I mention this daily in a post or comment somewhere.

They need help and resources. They feel lost when they are Steemit / Crypto noobs. I know I did.

Comments sections are great learning places for all of us -- but new Crypto folks especially.


It's now several weeks or so after the latest big changes, the latest Hard Fork (HF) / the Steem Powering downs latest rounds, many of those cashouts done and seeing some stabilizations, some bugs fixed etc.

The rewards pool is seeing a lot of changes again.......


Views, Spam, Engagement & Meaningful Comments:


Views and engagement still seem to be down and that is why I try to do so many posts / series to BOOST engagement.

The last while I have been wondering if it simply because we have so many accounts here now.

I was the first person to blog that I am aware of - of us crossing the $300k account mark recently here. The other part of me is thinking -- how many of those are just bots because that is a rising problem?

And if there ARE that many accounts.... one might think the comments section would be growing exponentially with all our posts too, right?

Spam and spammy comments are one of the biggest topics now every single day in the community here and many of us are struggling with it, and how to deal with it.


It's OK to gather new ideas but if the same issues pop up, that is great too, because it will send the message that something is more important to the developers and Steemit Elders. My goal is again - use this blog post as a resource to help the dev's and the community members. I can combine them into one post later on if needed to help developers or members.

It is easily searchable also -- as I use the same key phrases / words etc. in the title to keep it searchable - more easily.

I was trying to pick good tags...... I decided to use the TIL or HOWTO tags -- hoping someone either looking FOR help on learning something -- or someone looking TO help on these things would comment! I thought about that one for a couple mins.


If you want to tag people or share it so others can comment and contribute also, that is great. I have my own ideas and see a lot of people talking about it, but as someone who is NOT - I REPEAT NOT! tech savvy like many of you, and who is relatively newer to the Blockchain and Crypto stuff, I know my role is limited to give ideas, I am just a Fat Minnow LOL.

But I have been an activist for years, I am used to building community and gathering info and trying to help so I guess you can blame the activist side of me for this idea which I think is a good one -- an INTENTIONAL POST on the idea, to gather stuff in one place and be easily searchable and findable for all the IT types and developers etc.



Just my way of trying to contribute. I did not even know for sure what tags to use in this post, and I actually spent 5 mins looking and researching the best ones in the past to try and use, before I posted this LOL. I will edit the tags ASAP if you give me better ones to use!!


Noobs can find the TIL or HowTo tags and nuggets here helpful, as I mentioned earlier here.

If we can get some good feedback going, we can use these ideas, all in one place and people can refer back to them. That's why E.1 / E.2 /E.3...4/5/6/7/8/9, etc etc - was in the title, I am hopeful it is helpful as a resource.


We must always head towards the path of Liberty. And help others on this path.

Your input is definitely valued. I have been notified the Steemit Developers know of this series and can use it, and have asked for input from it to see what we want as a Community.

Sort:  

The abilty to make a list of your favourite topics and only see posts from them.

Not only would this help you find the posts that interest you most, it would improve curation as people would feel more invested in their own topics.

Also will be much easier to see the posts that use bad labels and they can be flagged easier to clean up steemit a bit.

Thanks for the input today, keep up your good work on here, you are making your mark for sure.

Right comments are gold

The comments section are filled with good stuff all the time!!

A simple suggestion I have is - Currently when you read a posting/submission etc in Steemit, and then go back to look at other articles Steemit defaults back to the first article in the section you are in and if you want to continue to read other articles you have to scroll down past the last article you read. It would be nice if when you are done reading an article that you return to the Steemit page at the same location you left from so you could continue scrolling down from there to look at other postings.

buddy why u have limmited internet although this post even got 10 $ in 10 minutes :p just kidding haha you are right in the philosophy Build a Community. Help One Another.

Blog. Comment. Find Good Content.

I have worked very very hard in my 13 months here to build content and followers and try and help the community.

One thing I am missing, that I enjoy on say twitter, is something like tweetdeck, which I use to keep up with people I follow by assigning my own criteria.

That's good feedback today for sure.

Thanks!

I think steemit should increase the voting power of minnows to atleast 250steem it will encourage a lot of them to post regularly on steemit.

Interesting point.

Can you give us an idea of how that is to come about or where that SP might come from??

Thanks for the feedback today.

Great post your post I hope you will be looking forward to the post that will give you our beautiful post in the future.

We need to be able to live stream from the steemit platform. It's called LiveSteeming! Thanks.

when is the mobile app coming up

There is at least one I know of -- running for many months

Look up esteem

Flagging options to categorize spam and other stuff. I really want spam to die in a dumpster fire. I can’t emphasize this enough.

I hope this illustration helps them understand.

I WANT TO BURN IT!!!! We can save the tactical nukes for the really evil bad stuff. Just give me a flame thrower…

I love your passion dude.

LOL

Having a pop-up chat and a 'messages' icon directly here on the steemit main page would be ideal.

I really find Facebook messenger very user-friendly, and I mainly log onto facebook to keep up with chats..So if we could direct message, group message, video call etc directly here, that would be a boost that ups the 'social' part of Steemit :)

That comes up a lot here for sure, great comments today.

Thanks for the post :)

Make it like the media social...

steem it should create room for those who have creative videos and educational videos of not more than 2 minutes . Obscene videos should not be allowed.

Steemit needs to fix their image caching. I'm on a limited-bandwidth connection and the site performs very slowly due to the way Steemit proxies their images while providing no cache hints in the headers.

I am not a big tech guy and like hearing stuff I do not know that much about LOL

TY for the input today!
