Who tells you? If a noob approaches me and asks, I'll help. I've spent hours on noobs. But it's not my responsibility to approach them. Plenty of helpful people around.
Which brand? No need to pick one. All those apps on that site I showed you need to market themselves. It's the responsibility of teams building products to market their products.
Then with keychain, you make your own password. Enter it once and it takes care of the rest. Can bounce around from site to site and not even think about your keys. It's probably one of my favorite Hive things and for the most part it works in the background.
I sometimes enjoy Threads as well. That's where people are posting shortform tweet style. PeakD has chat and direct messages so that's kind of cool too.
If you're new, nothing is obvious. If someone has been around for awhile and doesn't explore, I guess that's their problem. Hive is decentralized so it's only natural all these apps and everyone goes their own way. Would be nice to have everything connected. That is slowly improving.
