Steem Atlas Ambassador Report – JULY 2025
Greetings Steemit Community,
Steem Atlas continues to grow each day, and it's great to see how users are embracing it. As I always say, this is an exciting initiative designed to create a global travel map powered by the Steem community.
Well, I don't regularly share an Ambassador report, mainly because I couldn't promote it as much in Sri Lanka due to the small number of active users. Anyway, I continued working towards its development through various activities. So, when I feel I have done something worthy for the project, I thought to share my work.
In July 2025, as a Steem Atlas Ambassador, it was a busy and meaningful month. We always try to encourage the genuine users who continuously support us with high-quality content.
Verification of posts and guiding users
The most important task I did in the last month, as always, was reviewing posts. With the less posts from Sri Lanka, I expanded my scope to the other countries without an ambassador, like **South Korea, Italy, Nigeria, India, and also from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Venezuela, Pakistan, etc. Our main goal is to review every post as soon as possible and make them in compliance with the expected standard.
As we are ultimately targeting the outside audience, the accuracy of the details, location, and the standards of the posts are highly considered. So, I checked the pin location through several sources, and review the articles based on these 21 Tips.
There are a few things we considered in the review, essential guidance and tips were given whenever needed.
As a Community curator
In the last month, @ivigibelis, @olaymann, and I got selected as Community Curators, representing the Steem Atlas team. It was a wonderful experience we all had, familiarizing ourselves with many places all around the world. According to our guidelines, we supported the Steem Atlas-related posts that are up to the standard of the project and the Steemit, using the @booming04 account.
| Weekly Report | Number of posts curated by me |
|---|---|
| First Week; July 01 - July 07, 2025 | 60 posts |
| Second Week; July 08 - July 14, 2025 | 44 posts |
| Third Week; July 15 - July 21, 2025 | 41 posts |
| Fourth Week; July 22 - July 28, 2025 | 73 posts |
Special gratitude to the Steemit team for this opportunity, which has immensely helped the popularity of the project.
Contests
For the promotion of the platform and to get more engagement, I am continuously hosting a contest in the Steem Sri Lanka community. Now it's the 10th edition, and each week I receive a good number of entries from various countries. Here's a detailed report with a number of participants and rewards shared.
| Announcement Post | Number of Participants | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Steem Atlas Challenge XV | 3 entries | 18 Steem Power |
| Steem Atlas Challenge XVi | 8 entries | 27 Steem Power |
| Steem Atlas Challenge XVii | 6 entries | 21 Steem Power |
| Steem Atlas Challenge XViii | pending | pending |
My Publications
Well, I wasn't actively publishing in the Steem Atlas in the last month, as my old phone broke. There were many images on that, and there are places that I have recently visited, and I hope to share them soon. Here is the list of my posts in the last month.

Challenge Faced and Final Thoughts
Well, even though many users follow our standards, we can still see some posts not following the guidelines, even after the reviews. So, I suggest everyone follow the 21 Tips and attend to the Ambassador's recommendation ASAP to get higher votes from the curators.
As an Ambassador from Sri Lanka, unfortunately, there are a few users frequently posting on Steem Atlas and overall Steemit. Anyway, I hope the enthusiasm will grow, and I regularly encourage them to share their travel content.
So overall, it was a productive month, and I look forward to attracting more local community in the coming month and supporting the project. Thank you to the Steem Atlas team and the broader Steemit community for the support.
