Title: Going to try to start a small Steemit community
Post by: Nathan047 on January 10, 2018, 06:24:48 PM
Starting Fresh. Apparently nobody responds to my emails, so just PM me if you want to join and I'll invite you to a telegram group. Please be sure to include your steemit profile link and telegram name.

Update 2: *To those who want to join:*
If you’d like to join then you can fill out the forum, however there may be a decent wait time as there will be a number of steps I have to take (and then notify everyone about them) in order to add you.

Update: I've sent out an email to everybody interested and temporarily closed registration


I recently joined Steemit to try to improve my writing skills but the community has seemed to grow on me. Being new my posts don’t generally get seen often, so I thought that I might see if I could start my own little corner of the community.

I’m looking for 10 or so people (probably people who are also new). We’ll all follow each other, regularly comment on each others work, and up vote good content (this is not an up vote exchange where we up vote all of each others content, but up votes to good content will be heavily encouraged).

If you’d like to join then fill out this forum. Just be warned that this is only an idea and I'm sure there could be many bumps in the road. [link removed, see above].

Sounds like an interesting idea. I filled the form. Haven't written anything on steemit yet, but I guess that can change anytime. :)

Did you checked this post?

You may get some followers. Creating a Steemit group where you send updates about the group is good. How do other group members will communicate with each other? It is better to have a closed Facebook Steemit group. Apart from a couple of technology and crypto related posts you have also made a post on follow exchange. On Steemit, followers are just numbers, it's more about having followers with high voting power, more about creating quality content and posting regularly. Once you do that your followers would gradually increase, patience.

Maybe they need to clarify your application first, I also joined steemit for the sake of learning how to make constructive post while earning decent income.

P.S Good luck to your project OP

When did you create your account? They approved mine two days after registration.

This is interesting to have a community of like minded people around the world
discussing and approving common topics of choice.Must this catchment of your
be capped at 10 or few more people. Wouldn't it be better to accommodate as much people
as are interested to be part of the group?

I guess, a week ago. I've tried one email address and got message that it should be approved by steem then tried another email but with same success. Will try to contact steem admins.

Hey everyone, thanks for the interest. I've already had like 6 people interested (way more and way faster that I expected). Check your emails (including your spam box) and this thread over the next day or so for updates. I'm going to aim for having this group up and running over/by the weekend.

Did you checked this post? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2023810.0
This is the same as my follow exchange: I follow everyone and everyone follows me, but with the setup I'm proposing everybody follows everybody. But no, I haven't seen the above thread it yet (although not that I'd really consider joining that for the reason I just stated).

How do other group members will communicate with each other?
This is one of those kinks I said I could run into. I planned to use email to push notifications to everybody, but I can probably also set up an instant messenger of sorts to keep everybody communicating with each other.

On Steemit, followers are just numbers, it's more about having followers with high voting power [...]
Not to me. This isn't a get rich scheme, I'm just trying to get a couple of newbie bloggers together.

[...] Must this catchment of your be capped at 10 or few more people. [...]
I wasn't planning on capping it at 10 people, I was just thinking that 10 or so people would be a good start. If more than 10 people want to join I'm not gonna stop them.

*To everyone who joined:*
I just sent out an email to everyone who filled out the forum, we can now start setting up the group and following each other. Be sure to check your spam folders and whitelist the email address that way you don’t miss anything important.

*To those who want to join:*
If you’d like to join then you can fill out the forum, however there may be a decent wait time as there will be a number of steps I have to take (and then notify everyone about them) in order to add you.

Nobody responds to my emails so I'm starting fresh. Just sent you a PM with the information I need in order to add you to the list.

I was out of reach for a few days, but I'm back. Seems like the project is strolling along slowly, but hey, it's something. :)

Mine was also approved in two days. Have you seen your spam box? They send the confirmation by e-mail. I created the account but still didn't post anything, I want to start writing some articles but lack more inspiration. ;D

Well actually i have an account that i created in 2016 and i have some questions for you  i just don't get it with their system, I've got 14 steem power and i don't know  how to do with it, so is this steem power gonna be lowered if we vote other people and I'm just wondering if your idea is safe? i mean exchanging vote or comment is allowed in steem forum? and what about the rate for each vote?

thank you so much for making this thread I'm still new in this.

Steem Power it affects how good your upvote is. If you upvote too often it becomes less effective, however it slowly recharges over time (but you don't lose any Steem Power, just "upvote effectiveness"). You can vote about 10 times a day without depleting more than you'll regain.

https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_many_times_can_I_vote_without_depleting_my_voting_power

-also-
Steemit is decentralized, so anything is "allowed" but there are a lot of things that are frowned on and that will get you flagged a lot. Upvote exchanges are in the grey, however this isn't an upvote exchange or comment exchange. The idea is that a small group reads each other's posts and upvotes/comments as they see fit (just helping promote decent content, not gaming the system). This is perfectly acceptable, and there are communities on steemit like #newbieresteemday that also attempt to promote good content by new people, just in a different way.

The idea sounds a bit complex, but once you see it in action it makes more sense. Basically, it's just users (mostly new people) sharing content between themselves, creating discussion, and up voting good content.
