It is newbie friendly and I highly recommend that as a newbie, you should check it out and take advantage of the various facilities for growth the platform has to offer.
So I have been here for sometime and after looking through the entire or some parts of the Steemit network, I have come to notice amongst many, one very newbie friendly network..., the MinnowSupportProject.
The P.A.L network was started by prominent Steemains and Witnesses 
The creators of that network which is the Peace .Abundance .Liberty network had you in mind while putting together that platform because they know that you will need that help and they have been gladly providing that help and support to newbies and even oldbies alike.
One very distinctive feature about this support network is the individuals who make up the overall membership, they are selfless and always ready to lend a hand. being a member of the minnowsupportproject makes you embrace the art of GIVING which in turn comes back at you with rewards unexplained.., now its not about telling people I am a giver, it is the art of giving and not letting it mean a thing that counts.
For the newbies, let me explain how you can join the the minnowsupportproject on discord.
