Hey hey! I did find your post because I was scrolling through 'the garbage' trying to find awesome posts to read - I'm a curator on the platform and there are many curating groups around - as indeed without people selecting posts there's not an easy way to find the good stuff.
Let me know which subjects you're interested in and I'll point you towards the right communities or one or two authors that are worth reading.
Getting the hang of Steem takes time and work - as people won't automatically start reading your content as this is more a social platform than a 'real' content platform. I hope you're going to stick around!
Cheers!
PS: A post about yourself with the #introduceyourself tag is always appreciated and gets some people to find you and welcome you.
