Hi Hive account@joshduthie! I empathize completely. Discord is different from any chat app I’ve seen. Did you join our channel? https://discord.gg/YzJbaBZ I’ll look for you. My name is same there. Now that I know how to use it, it’s great! There’s places to promote your posts, get help, play a free lotto or just chat. As for groups here, there are too many to mention! My advice to you, is to start adding #newbieresteemday as a tag on your posts. Doesn’t have to be the first one, just add it. That will get you noticed by our curation team! You will get reblogged for visibility and possibly upvoted! It’s a great way to get started. You’ll meet lots of unique and interesting people too! You can be part of multiple minnow support groups. So as you find the community’s that resonate with you, you can join them all!
As I mentioned in my post, the best thing to do as a young account is build relationships by commenting and engaging. And look! You’re already doing that! Participate in contests! Holy cow there’s a million of them. Thx for your support! It means a lot. See ya round the Steem!
