Good to see read this piece. Anyway, being a lone ranger on steemit is a double edge thing. Some grew by belonging to a community, others by doing their thing themselves and figuring things out on their own. I started out belonging to a community and thereafter started making my own way, up till now. I definitely belong to communities and contribute when I can. However, this platform is not designed for solitude, we need each other.

7 months to get to 1000Steem Power!

It will be more than that with the recent development for new people joining and who wants to grow SP organically.

Bringing people to this platfrom is less work than keeping them. Many just cant cope.
