Have a good start and don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks a lot! Will do some more reading. I'm having a great time so far, just trying to do as many things as possible without having to understand every detail ;-)

The ecency points are not that relevant to be honest. You can earn more Hive token by regularly posting, or microposting via snaps. I prefer peakd.com over ecency.com as it has more features.

I just really like doing things on my phone over desktop. Will try peakd on my phone. The hardest part so far was understanding that I need quite a bunch of HP staked not to be constrained by the Resource Credits when posting. For motivated newbies, that really sucks! So I bought a few $ worth of HIVE and now it's working like a breeze (so far).

I'll probably get to actually blog myself at some point, right now I first want to check out how everything works and get to know as many people as possible.

Might be best for new users to use Points for Boost+. A 200HP delegation from Ecency allows them to do more.

Ecency Points Boost+ is helpful for newbees. A 200 HP delegation from Ecency is a great boost.

What features do you feel are missing on Ecency?

Good remark, Melinda

Ecency gave you 15 billion RC!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot ! Onboarding was pretty good and I thought I'd kickstart with the plus account. I've run out of Resource Credits very very quickly after making a bunch of posts, so I i figured I'd stake some HIVE I bought so I can basically post non-stop ;-) it would be great to have some smaller boost options so I don't have to pay 9$ for something I don't really know if it'll pay off.

Btw: Right after signing up, there was nothing I could really do in the mobile app so I went to the website on desktop to actually do things like posting, voting etc. The next day, everything was fine on the mobile app, as well, so I've been using that.

What the? Where are all these upvotes suddenly coming from? I'm totally puzzled :-D

You can always use Ecency.com website from your mobile.
I use the app for everything and am happy to answer questions!

The wavy line icon at the bottom will take you to Waves.

Being engaged and making comments on posts and in Waves is the best way to make friends here and make your account grow!

Oh if you have the hive keychain app you can use peakd on your phone.

An Nsfw filter in waves. the two times I've gone on there it's been AI porn despite me having nsfw content off.

Someone who has a curation trail probably gave you an upvote, and so all the folks that have a curation trail set to them autovoted on it.

It's a bit technical, but I don't mind trying to explain it.

other than the ecency points(which i do like the idea of even if PeakD is my home) what do you think ecency has that makes it bette than PeakD or Hive.blog?

I'm curious I came in strongly biased to PeakD cause it's where my friends who are on hive prefer so I was already familiar with it.

Can I join a curation trail like this as a voter?

You can! https://hive.vote/ This website you can set up autovote(so anytime someone posts you vote for it) or to follow a curation trail that you know exsists.

You can mute anyone, and also a downvote will block their content. I keep thinking that 'photographer' will leave when he learns he is not going to receive any votes here!

PeakD is a great frontend and one of the best things about Hive is that everyone has a choice to use whatever they are most comfortable with!

I curated your post with an Ecency vote, and the Ecency voting trail followed!

Awesome, thank you!

Welcome on Hive my friend!
