Hashnode 101
Welcome to Hashnode! Here are a few ways to get real value out of Hashnode.
It's the community that makes Hashnode great. The best way to learn new things and advance in your career is to surround yourself with smart people. Hashnode is all about giving and receiving help and discovering interesting stuff. Follow developers who write useful answers and contribute good content. They will unlock the best of Hashnode for you.
One of the core principles of Hashnode is to let developers talk and express themselves. It's important to help others in the community by sharing your knowledge. By writing answers you not only help others, but also reinforce the concepts you already know and get better in the process. So, writing answers definitely creates value for you and others in the community. Also good answers always receive appreciations and show up in users' feeds (which means additional visibility for you).
Follow more nodes (topics) and interesting developers so that your feed gets richer.
Ask Questions. It doesn't matter if the question is too basic or sounds dumb. Hashnoders are very friendly and welcoming towards each other. For instance, even simple questions like What is Babel? and What is Docker? are always appreciated.
Share useful links, GitHub repos, CodePen experiments, YouTube videos etc and also discover what the community is sharing.
Write stories and maintain a blog on Hashnode. Your Hashnode account comes with a blog which is available at hashnode.com/<username>/stories.
Share your experience with other developers in the community through Stories. Good stories always get more visibility and helps you establish yourself as an expert in the community.
- Appreciate others for writing useful answers and be appreciated. Appreciations accumulate over the time and appear on your profile.
- Follow influencers and participate in community AMAs. AMAs are live Q&A sessions with influencers which is a great way to get in touch with them and have their insights.
- Make use of Collections to organize important links, bookmark items and collect things.
And there is so much more. Once you start interacting with the community you will see the real benefit. I'll probably extend this answer by adding some more points later tonight.
Have Fun. :)
