I spent some time last night curating some of the new #introduceyourself posts.
It occurred to me that upvoting and encouraging new users is a really important act to solidify confidence and inspire continued use of the platform. I can imagine that posting from new users can easily dissipate if they don’t already know anyone to connect with or support their work.
Even though my SP vote worth is only 5cents, I like to think it’s a valued contribution to someone new.
The occasional well meaning and personalised comment I find goes a long way too.
There’s a lot to be said about retention.
Does anyone know what the STEEM activity retention rate is? How to find that out?
It’s great that the likes of @steem.ninja are successfully recruiting new users in a big way; we need to make sure we’re keeping these new users engaged.
Anyway, so this is just a gentle reminder that the #introduceyourself tag is a great place to support new users with an upvote and follow new exciting people.
