Good point. There isn't a notification system and the feed sucks for finding stuff. I find it's useful to get in the trending page for relevant but not saturated hashtags. I regularly look at the trending pages for stuff like occult, magick, esoteric and alchemy. There's definitely some room for improvement of this platform. I wonder if the rumors of something like Steemit being developed for the EOS platform are true and if so whether they'll do a better job.

I wonder how that would work because I had EOS when it was very new, and I was forced to sell it as a "US Citizen." Sure, I could have used a VPN and faked my location, but I didn't want to go there.
Definitely check out GINAbot. It takes 5 minutes to setup from start to finish. Here's my GINAbot blurb for new users:
There's one good bot worth mentioning for new users. It is called GINAbot, and you can use it to keep track of things the makerwannabe site above cannot easily do. For example, GINAbot will tell you when a key phrase is used, when you or someone else is mentioned by account name, or even if someone deletes a comment. The bot is extremely powerful and free. Simply add the following Discord server:
https://discord.gg/x9Empcm
When you connect to it, it will ask you to register and verify your account with a .0001 SBD or STEEM transfer. Then you will get a direct message from the bot with a private link to your configuration page. Go there to setup your options. The entire process takes 5 minutes, and it will be up and running. You can tweak the settings as you go too. I highly recommend people use it for networking purposes.
I have mine set to look for phrases like "residential security" and "private investigator" as two examples. Then I never miss out on content related to those, and it makes going there to engage in those conversations much easier. Without GINAbot, I would never have had the opportunity either! Check it out, and ask if you have any questions.
Sounds very useful! Thanks for the info. I'll definitely check that out when I get a chance.
As far as EOS goes, I'm somewhat surprised to hear that you're not allowed to hold it as a US Citizen, although I know your country has put a lot more regulations in place than most. Is it because it's technically still in the ICO stage? That's the only thing that even comes close to making sense. I'm here in Canada, where our government has said cryptocurrency investing is fine as long as you report any capital gains on your taxes.
It's a control thing of course, but they are cracking down on crypto here. I'm not sure why the EOS thing specifically was done, but I was told by Bittrex that either I sold or lost it. I sold it therefore. They got some type of order apparently from the US government.
