Hi 
Could you mention the username of the friend who recommended Hive to you? That way, you can let him know that you followed his advice and posted :-) Here is some useful information, and I recommend you start exploring the communities I link below.
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!
