welcome to hive. im glad you made it. a few things to share. persistence and resilience is key here. authentically engaging through comments is a an effective way to show other hiveans who you are.
i notice you do not have a profile photo yet. that is helpful too as the grey icon isnt so nice. we have bot farms and people trying to syphon money out of the hive ecosystem, so as you first arrive it is important to not appear as one of these extractor only accounts. A way you can show the community you are a real person is to take a selfie with a paper and hand written todays date and your username. im not saying it obligated. but it can be helpful. Good luck finding your feet!
