Oh hey. This is my first post.

emilyra333 in #intro • last year

My heart is happy cuz I'm on Hive Blockchain!

Over the years I've left behind remnants of films, songs, imagery and ritual on the social streams, and to be honest I often feel as if i'm placing pearls inside of a dumpster fire by sharing my hard won beauty on mainstream platforms.
It's been so many years.

Sometimes I feel young at age 37, sometimes I feel old. Depends on how I choose to perceive my life but yeah it's been a hot minute.

And I wonder. Is this working anymore?

There's a lot I still don't know about all this, but from what I do know I know that I'm really stoked.

I'm on Hive! Finally!

And as I write my heart feels excited because I've been posting on social streams since AOL. I've been crafting a profile since Myspace.

My bleeding heart diatribes have been watched by the government on FB since I was a wee witch.

And my booty has been on Insta a handful of times. Cuz ya know. It's a sign of the times.

I never f*d with Twitter. Don't know why.

But yeah. It's the Wild West out here. I'm just a cowgirl looking for a quality place to express herself. Actually I'm not a cowgirl at all is the thing.

I'm decolonizing my mind.
But I am an e-girl.

And i have a lot of radical thoughts. I'm a wandering minstrelless with a crapton of words lookin' for a few coins to change the world with.

Hive feels like a good place for all that.

I need a place where I can offer my gems and collect some. I'm looking for quality folks doing dope shit on the daily.

So it's a blessing to be on Hive.

I feel it in my body. Like YES. My he*artworks belong here.

So much more on the horizon..

I must have gone down a rabbit hole to find your account but I'm glad I did! You post some rather interesting content, and I think you'd be a fantastic and popular fit in the FreeCompliments Community. You'd definitely be getting well-deserved compliments on your work, and your interactivity is perfect for our goal of having a community full of active comments. Our curation method is another big plus, but that's for you to discover when you join. 😉

Enjoy.

I sent some resource credits(RC) your way. They get used when you post, vote, comment and whatever else and recharge. A temporary delegation. You should have enough to keep busy if you want to be.

That bee needs to bee hive by the looks of it. But you don't. Have fun!

Pro Tip: It can be ridiculously hard to gain traction and get eyes on your work here. More flowers than pollinators, it seems. So it can take time but every minute adds up. It helps a lot to buzz around people's heads. That way they know you exist. No magical mystical robots guiding minds to our work. With so much freedom, one must do it themselves.

We each have our own internal navigator, but are connected to one mind it seems. I'm all about the quality over the quantity, and authentic expression over contrived stategic obsession.

Hello @emilyra333! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive and introduced yourself to the community - congratulations and welcome!

I was going to ask how you found Hive, but first I did a bit of peeking at your website, found your FB profile link, and discovered we have a zippy friend in common (though it's been ages since I've chatted with her), so I think I answered my own question. 😂

As for communities we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - Hive Communities. I noticed you've already subbed to a bunch of awesome ones, but you might also want to check out -

Scholar and Scribe - supportive & friendly writing community

Natural Medicine - closest thing to an active witchy community that we have at the moment, but there is also a Pagan community where you might find a bit of witchiness still lurking about.

Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched Newbies Guide should be helpful to you, as it is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works. For instance, there's a post in the collection called 3 things Newbies should do in their first week on Hive that you might find helpful.

Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.

If you have questions, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!

Thanks so much for the orientation, @traciyork . It's a whole new world to explore here and I'm stoked. I followed your suggested communities and am spending some time surfing through. I feel like a kid in the 90's again lol.

You're very welcome, and I hear ya - I'm almost six years in here, and my brain still hurts on the regular. 😂

That being said, please feel free to shout out any time if you have questions. 😊

Welcome aboard! I'll delegate some resource credits to help you comment and post more often while you get started. The best way to build a good audience is to be a good audience for others, so create conversations!

Be sure to write down your keys and keep them somewhere safe. Here is another writer's overview of which keys do what. Beware of scammers who promise quick riches or mystery airdrops, and don't enter your keys anywhere carelessly.

The HIVE community tends to be welcoming, but rewards may drop off after your introduction. Persevere! The path to success is not always fast and easy. Avoid plagiarism and spam in your posts. You'll make progress in due time. Here's a great post from another blogger with some helpful advice, too.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I don't have all the answers, but I am glad to help if I can.

What part of the PNW do you call home? There are a fair few of us in the greater Spokane area. @corvidae is over in Portlandia. @denmarkguy calls the Washington coast home. You might want to keep an eye out for local meetups!
