MySteemitFriends is a handy tool that provides you data on your relationships within the Steem Blockchain and your place in the greater Steem Community.
In this tutorial, you will learn:
This section doesn't really apply to this tutorial, you mainly need:
Please see the below for instructions on how to use MySteemitFriends.Online
MySteemitFriends is easy to use, and the functions are fairly intiative.
Type in mysteemitfriends.online into any browser, and you’ll see this initial screen:
The buttons at the top of the screen are the same as the buttons under the Steem Account text box. At this point, only the Rankings menu has sub-menus, which you can see here:
Put the Steem Account you’re interested in and click on the Contributors button
The resulting screen displays all the Steem accounts the total number of votes as well as the total earned from those votes, ranked by total earned.
You can search for particular contributors or filter for a particular date range or a particular number of top contributors… for example, the Top 10 contributors for last month. You could do a thank you post if you were so inclined with this data.
If you aren't sure who someone is, if you click on any Contributors name, you'll be taken to their Steemit account. If you click on the actual Article Count of your supporters:
You'll bring up the Calculator where you can see exactly which posts/comments someone upvoted you and for how much.
If you’re worried that your friends are far more generous than you, you can click on the ‘Reverse’ hyperlink to compare.
Which brings you to the below screen. You can see @aussieninja has been far more generous than I have been to him. Oops.
Probably the most use that I personally get out of MySteemitFriends is the ability to easily and quickly check the overall voting stats for and from my account.
From whichever screen you're in, click on the Upvote Stats button.
You'll be brought back to the main screen, and will need to put the account name back in:
I'm putting my own account in again. Then click Upvote Stats..
You can see here that for me at least, there is a huge difference between the top people I vote versus the top people who vote me. Which is good in some ways, we're all just voting content we like, but it's bad that I'm not really looking after the people who support me.
Again, continuing the example with @aussieninja, you can see that I've personally voted him under half what he's voted me...
... but you know, if he made better content.. haha.
Admitted there are other applications like Steemworld that provide your vote history, but MySteemitFriends doesn't divide them those vote transactions up by days, so it's easier to find.
From any page, click Vote History in the top menu, or in the main page click on Vote History in the main screen menu.
You can either put the account you're interested in, in the main menu Steemit UserName textbox
or you can add it in to the Voter Text box in the Vote History screen.
The result is the same either way.
If you do add the Steem Account in to the Voter Text box in the Vote History screen, then click on List Articles button.
The screen will then display every vote your account has made during the selected time period, the voting percentage, along with hyperlinks to every article:
While this doesn't seem so useful to run for your own account, this data can be interesting to see who the bigger accounts are voting, like @dtube:
Or to see if some of the more controversial accounts only self-vote:
This data can be extremely useful to help the user work out what's happening behind the scenes and work out how it all affects their account.
Please feel free to ask me any questions about the use of this application, I happy to expand on this tutorial, or do add in any further information.
This is my first Utopian tutorial, but MySteemitFriends is extensive so I will follow this up with further tutorials. It really is a great application. Thanks @magicmonk!!
