This is best guide have seen so far. thanks for sharing with us 

Hi Olujay,

thank you for this guide. As a newbie who is growing on this platform, I consider it really helpful. 

When I started here and until about a year later, even just months ago, I felt like a pupil starting out at a new school. There was much information to consume, so many things going on in communities and the discord channels. Because I tried to take it all at once, it became very overwhelming. 

My onboarder did his best to teach me the ropes and then let me on to navigate. But because stuff wasn't happening just as fast as I hoped they would, it got tiring. That aside, I wasn't even asking questions, I was all by myself. 

To thrive here, work must be done. I know that very much now. In recent times, I've been checking through some of the persons i presume I started almost same time as who are doing quite well here and it's so easy what the difference between myself and them are. They're everywhere. They're consistent. They show up. I lag in these areas. I noticed though that, whenever I put in a little more time and effort here, I always spot some difference. 

Two things I know now that will make every newbies journey here a tad bit easier are asking questions and engaging. Plus some tiny little bit of patience. Very important.

I might not exactly be a newbie but I find this helpful for me right now, so, Thank you.

Perfectly outlined @olujay  I mean this singled it out the cure bases fir starters on the chain 

It’s your first outlined for me
You see curiosity builds observation and then enthusiasm, that’s just the perfect flow for it and every newbie that follows this word for word will certainly blow up in no time, I’ll recommend this type some of the newbies I’m grooming


Thanks for this thoughtful post 

Wow. This is really profound. And truly, every newbie needs to read this. I'm glad I saw this.

Well, one of the thing written here, that I have been able to put into action well enough is not following just anybody randomly and for real, I'm glad.

Well, this thing called engagement, I really need to be more proactive with it..
Thank you, Olujay for sharing this beautiful pieces. 

I totally enjoyed reading through it.

True story: There's a text editor called Sublime Text. I use it to help me write my posts. I thought you were going to talk about it from the word "Sublime" in your title.

I agree with you that ideally we should "be intentional about our interests". That's how an organic site with organic content and views is supposed to work. Hive still needs to get way more people onboard. Without enough people, this doesn't work well.

Hehe. All the instructions are very necessary for make hive experience better. I think it's a very good post as a guideline for newbie. 🙂.

Your advice for Hive newbies is insightful. Encouraging curiosity, meaningful engagement, and authenticity is crucial. Your tips on learning, off-platform interaction, and intentional following provide a solid foundation for a rewarding experience on Hive. Valuable advice for newcomers

This is apt. I doubt if any newbie  myself inclusive 😂 will find it difficult navigating on Hive after reading this.

I love the point about engagement. Quality engagement matters on Hive because through it you connect with other people, shared ideas, learn new things and build your network too.

Again is asking questions about what piques your interest or what you do not understand. I remember it was through the reply I got from Khal about HBD savings that made me to start savings and some other important things I've learnt by asking questions.

Exploring communities is another one. There are so many communities both old and new ones coming up which one can explore and then stick to the ones that tickles their fancy.

Finally, to be able to grow on Hive is a gradual process, and it needs focus, determination and consistency.

Let me stop here 😂

This is exceptional guide to newbies 👌...I must commend your effort Jay for being so thoughtful with vital points here that would help any Newbie to navigate easily in this space.

>get curious, and be observant.

You see this statement? I embraced it during my time as a newbie.  I was so curious to understand how things work in hive, a good observer which pushed me to asking questions. You could call me Mrs questionnaire those days as a newbie. I didn't fear getting into people's DM in discord to ask questions 😃, this action pushed me into a great discovery that made my onboarder to cherish my growth till date...he will always say that he is proud of me and how fast I navigate things even without asking him.  Oh yes, I didn't limit myself to my onboarder. I explored the chain, mingled with others and build a healthy relationship for myself in this chain which today, some of them are my real life friends including you jay. You talked about discord and other things...it's just the way to go for one to thrive here if not, newbies will continue to see this place as a strange land for a very long time. Hive is too vast, and the best way to thrive well is to become so intentional, define your journey here and every other things will follow.

Guess what???

This is a top notch guide, Jay

> get curious, and be observant. 

This is what has kept me going. For me to stay in one place, I will rather let curiosity kill me😂

The reason I signed up on Hive was due to observation and my curiosity I had no onboarder which made me more curious to know more. I started looking and hurting for where or who to learn from. 

The issue of having no onboarder has really made me feel less, there are times where I feel like, I shouldn't be here 😢 because I feel I am the only one with no onboarder, no one to run to if i get confused either 😢 but you that curiousity? It has kept me  going. 

This is a detailed post and should be pinned for newbie as a guide into the blockchain. 

Thank you for sharing this. #dreemerforlife

I must say, these are great points a newbie needs. Inquisitiveness and learning to ask questions are very important, as is engagement, which provides visibility. If one must follow someone, then it should not be because they expect a follow-back but because they are interested in the contents the person produces.

I feel you, brother.

This is well detailed Olujay and a good start for newbies. 

I was actually overwhelmed when I landed on Hive and before I introduced myself I explored some communities and found out what they were about, visited some creators' blogs without dropping a word because I wanted to learn and observe how things worked here. I wanted my introduction to be perfect (Oh! The fear of making mistake that time 😄). I'm learning everyday, engaging more these days, and asking questions to learn more.

One thing I need to do better is being active in community servers on Discord. I know I am still learning even though I feel my growth is slow, I will keep pushing.

I don't even want to talk much about the follow button 😄 because I fell for it after publishing my intro post, my goodness! I began to follow almost all who upvoted my post but then I quickly realized what I did. It's always good to be intentional about the follow button and not just for a follow back. It keeps us on track on what we intend to feed on and digest.

There is so much to explore on Hive and to be involved in.

**I found your blog from dreemport on X.**

Thanks so much for sharing this valuable content with us and I'm glad I'm implementing all these but need to publish more often.
