Many a year ago, when I was active on Twitter (with the same account name as here), there was a nice user discovery trend - Follow Friday. So before Twitter added the algorithm to offer accounts for you to follow - you had to rely on your friends.
Steemit has a similar account discovery issue. Finding good new authors to follow isn't easy, so many of us see the same old account names in our feed and miss out on awesome content.
Let's change that.
Let's make Fridays a day we introduce some of the people we follow to one another.
I think I'll go ahead and add a weekly "flavor" to my Follow Friday posts. Today's flavor:
Real World Friends and Family!
As my bio on top of the page says, I am polyamorous. Two of my significant others are on Steemit, so I have no choice but to list them first.
If you're into D&D character building, artistic photography and original photoshop art, you should visit Barak's profile. On other social networks he tends to be shy, but it looks like Steemit is helping him open up, so please help me encourage him to post more of his art and thoughts on the platform.
Itai started writing a game development blog on steemit, but doesn't always find the time to work on the game or the blog. So he often posts social commentary, blogs of self-reflection, and contributes the occasional restaurant review.
Didi is a book published, crowdfunding expert and brilliant editor. He's fairly new to Steemit and posts about a variety of topics from wrestling to feminism to podcasts and SFF.
Guy is one of the most prolific bloggers I've ever met. He writes about anime, but recently began to publish poetry (and even got curied). He also has some interesting insights on Steemit worthy of a read.
Though he doesn't post much, I owe him for bringing me to Steemit. His posts, rare as they are, offer breathtaking photos from northern Israel and sustainability projects for his home.
Your turn! Post your Friday favorites and be sure to tag the post with #followfriday .
