Hi @militadigital01 welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.

When someone is referred by @cositav, I know they’ve got a good point of reference, so I’m confident she’ll help you get off to a good start here. Although you’ve already got experience with Web 2.0, you’ll find that this is quite different but much more rewarding, at least in my humble experience. The connections you make here are deeper and more meaningful; something which, from what you’ve told us, is also important to you. That bit about the podcasts caught my attention, I’m a loyal listener to several of them and I’d love to hear you.

Here are a couple of links with useful information. In particular, I’d recommend you explore the communities via the link below. You'll like Worldmappin, Homesteading and Silver Bloggers. Have a great Hive journey!

Tips and information as a Hive newbie here: newbie guide.

Communities you might like that are part of the OCD Communities Incubation Program. Important: read their rules and post in the one that fits your content.

Have a good day!
