There seems to be people who just join every community hoping to leach value off them and then there are people who invest meaningful amount of their Steemit time into just a couple of community at most.

I don’t follow a lot of people because I choose to invest time in many of them either thought helping answer a question, leaving thoughtful comments, and tossing upvote to undervalued things. If they also resteem a post like this into my feed I do tend to read and do what I can to help out the amazing content out their.

Apart from that I am very active in 1 community in particular. I fly their footer in my blogs, I engage in the many activities that community itself creates. I answer questions in their discord server when I have the time. While they now have over 100 members and it’s getting harder to be personable with everyone I do try and read a large sum of their blogs or least check in every couple of weeks and see what everyone is up to. I’m not perfect there are some I just don’t have comment to leave on or am not interesting in content. But I try and be a team player when can. 

 Because of this I get to see with my own eyes a community grows right in front of me.  If everyone just put a little more effort into building up the community around them and being supportive this platform would be just that much better of a place for people to be involved in and enjoy the rewards.


I just know being a team player and getting to enjoy community has made steemit even a better place for myself not being alone in it. I see so many people joining a bunch of community's and yet they miss out on what it means to be in one because they can't make time for all the things they are apart of.
