Hello!
New users are the future, and I still consider myself a newbie. One of the things I found hard to assimilate when I started on Hive was the lack of engagement in those first posts. I came from writing on a platform where you might not get big votes from the rewards robot, but you never lacked comments, and that was encouraging. On Hive, it's not like that. And that was a big shock at the beginning. Here, we have to work hard to get some comments until we get some regular readers to engage with.
And engagement is at the core of any social platform. So the road is a bit bumpy sometimes, yes. But when you get the feedback you expect, Hive becomes a great place with multiple options. With the possibility of interacting with people from far away places, and with great initiatives like your #ttt. Cheers! :)
