Discovering Ecency as a New Hive User

source

Joining Hive for the first time felt a bit overwhelming to me. There were so many things to learn, from understanding how the blockchain works to figuring out how to actually make a post. But along the line, I discovered Ecency, and it made everything feel less complicated. Honestly, I don’t think my first months here would have been this smooth if not for Ecency.

One thing that attracted me to Ecency is how simple it is to use. As someone who is still learning the ropes, I didn’t want an app that looked too technical or confusing. Ecency made it easy for me to write, publish, and even interact with other people without stress. Everything is laid out clearly, and the app just gives me that welcome space' feeling.

I have used both the web app and the mobile app, and for me, the mobile app stands out because of its convenience. I can post and reply to comments directly from my phone, no matter where I am. Since I’m still new, I’m trying to stay active and keep up with engagements, so having access on my phone helps me a lot. On the other hand, I can’t deny that the web app also has its own strong sides. For example, it is easier to see more communities and explore different content on the web compared to mobile. But for now, I use the mobile app more because it fits into my daily life better.

Another thing I like about the ecency app is how it gives points for every activity. As a newcomer, those points may look small, but to me, they are a big motivation. It makes me feel like my little actions are noticed.

One feature that really excites me is the ability to swap tokens within the app. This is something I didn’t expect when I first started, but now it makes things easier. Instead of trying to figure out complicated steps outside the platform, I can do it right there. For someone like me who is still new, that kind of simplicity is a lifesaver.

Then there’s the Ecency community itself. I have noticed that the people in this space are welcoming. Whenever I read their updates or see conversations, it gives me the assurance that I’m in the right place. There is always that sense of support, and I know that if I need help, I won’t be left stranded.

Finally, I think it’s important to acknowledge the team behind Ecency. Even though I don’t know all their names yet, I know @melinda010100 has been very consistent in pushing the app forward. For me as a beginner, the work they are doing is what makes Hive less intimidating.

So far, Ecency has made my Hive journey smoother. It’s more than just an app, it feels like a guide helping me grow in this new space.
