Introduction

Some time ago I wanted to find out what are the non-English language communities on Steem. And I created the post Analysis of non-English communities on Steem. Recently I made an update. It turned out that the #ua community is one of the largest non-English community on Steem. I thought that it's time to get to know each other better :)

This article will be divided into two parts:

the first with our questions to #ua community
the second with our answers to these questions

Before we get to the main part, let's look at some statistics (from 01.01.2018 to 31.10.2018).

Our answers

1: How would you describe the #polish community in a few sentences?

The #polish community may not be too big, but it is well organized. Our main channel of communication is https://steem.chat/channel/polish. Every month we have statistics that present the current state of the community: Przekrój społeczności #polish - Listopad 2018.

2: Which #polish users are most recognized on Steem?

Hive account@gtg - top Steem witness, IT Wizard
Hive account@noisy - creator of SteemProjects, WISE, witness
Hive account@the.foodini - wants to open the world's first STEEMtruck
Hive account@highonthehog - fantastic blogger, travels around the world

3: What Steem projects have been created by people from your community?

WISE by Hive account@noisy
SteemProjects by Hive account@noisy
SteemFounders by Hive account@santarius & Hive account@nicniezgrublem
Engrave by Hive account@nicniezgrublem
SteemWeb by Hive account@rafalski
SteemNova by Hive account@mys & Hive account@fervi
Steeditor by Hive account@jakipatryk
DGameShop & DGameLand by Hive account@fervi
glodniwiedzy.pl by Hive account@nicniezgrublem
gameeit by Hive account@rolsonpatison & Hive account@barbarossastudio & Hive account@nervi

4: Which witnesses come from the #polish community

5: Does the #polish community stick together or is it divided into many groups?

Despite the fact that we often argue, create different subgroups and have some dramas, as a community we rather stick together.

6: What principles / conventions / initiative have you developed?

We have a pretty well-organized system of tags with the prefix pl-, thanks to which Polish-language posts do not reach English-speaking recipients (it would happen if the tag is a word in both languages). The tree of tags can be seen here: https://steemweb.pl/categories.
Each week we organize a contest in which we write posts on one of the 3 topics (which were drawn on Wikipedia): TemaTYgodnia. The initiative has been running for 57 weeks now.
A summary of the best articles of the week is posted by a dozen or so editors in the Tygodnik Kuratorski.
#pl-publikacje - an initiative of writing articles promoting Steem to various newspapers

We also have many curation initiatives:

Hive account@diosbot - bot that upvotes good articles
WISE - system that delegates vote (not SP!) of one user to other users (experts)
#perpetuummobile - curation system to support authors writing in some popular #polish tags

7: What are the biggest problems of the #polish community?

decrease of activity in recent months
there are smaller and larger dramas ;)
people are discouraged by lower and lower rewards

8: Pierogi!

Previous posts from this series:

As in some posts there was a problem with answers, in order to encourage to answer, each answer will be rewarded with my 100% vote and probably with many votes from #polish community. I will try at the end of the series to look for people who will be able to answer questions where there was no answer.

The whole series will be summarized with an article comparing all the language communities that participate in this initiative.

MeetCommunity #14: Hello #ua community! We are #polish community. We would like to know more about you!
