Hello @shorno! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive and introduced yourself to the community - congratulations and welcome!

Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - <a href="https://peakd.com/communities" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hive Communities</a>.  Based on what you said about your hobbies, I think you'll find these particularly interesting to start off - 

<a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-140217/trending" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hive Gaming Community</a>

<a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-163772/trending" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Haveyoubeenhere Community</a>

<a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-101690/trending" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Sports Talk Social</a>

Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched <a href="https://peakd.com/@newbies-guide" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Newbies Guide</a> is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works. 

In addition, since you're new, you may run into an RC (Resource Credits) error when trying to comment/post because you don't yet have enough Hive in your account yet. For assistance with a temporary delegation to get you started, be sure to check out the <a href="https://giftgiver.site/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Gift Giver site</a>. 

If you have questions, feel free to hop into the [OCD Discord server](https://discord.gg/wKPunkz9wK) and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!
