RE: Why is this platform so fucking bad?
Hey hey! I did find your post because I was scrolling through 'the garbage' trying to find awesome posts to read - I'm a curator on the platform and there are many curating groups around - as indeed without people selecting posts there's not an easy way to find the good stuff.
Let me know which subjects you're interested in and I'll point you towards the right communities or one or two authors that are worth reading.
Getting the hang of Steem takes time and work - as people won't automatically start reading your content as this is more a social platform than a 'real' content platform. I hope you're going to stick around!
Cheers!
PS: A post about yourself with the #introduceyourself tag is always appreciated and gets some people to find you and welcome you.
well shit, 2 people actually read the whole thing :)
I guess I'll stand corrected - there is still hope.
Thanks for the tips, I'll look into the suggestions.
:D See how much more fun it is now you know there's real people here? :D
If you don't like steemit.com you can also use steempeak.com - it looks a bit better and on the top of the frontpage they have some links to 'curated posts' - ie less sucky and sometimes even good content ;-)
Just say '@soyrosa' in a post or whatever if you have questions - I'll always try to answer them as I once was as frustrated and in doubt as you are now :-) Good luck!
allright @soyrosa thanks!
I’ve literally just replied to this chap (I assume it’s a chap..?) suggesting steempeak and realised you’re in the comments too!! We have similar tastes in suggestion! Hello @soyrosa :)

:') We're both wise people it seems :P
I took a brief look at steempeak but at least ux-wise I prefer steemit.. unless there's features (that I'm not aware of) that I'm missing.
Might change my mind later.. idk..
Steempeak has inbuilt notifications - where as with steemit you will need the steemplus browser extension for all the same info and stats.
Steempeak also has more sophisticated wallet functions (delegate, powerup, transfer etc) that don’t require you to visit another URL (the steemitwallet.com)
Also, lastly, Steempeak works with KeyChain login extension offering super secure login without entering or saving your keys directly to the browser or anywhere else. Steemit doesn’t work with KeyChain (yet)
Anyway, those are some reasons I use it. Plus it’s more aesthetically pleasing.
Worth a try anyway. 👍🏻
