Hi -- a couple of thoughts:

• I've tried to publish a small post each day to develop content on Steemit; I think we're in a chicken-and-egg phase where we need to proactively generate real content to make the platform worthwhile down the road.
• Have you tried using the busy.org interface? It's how I use Steemit most of the time.

Cheers,
