Hive has been a great learning experience and meeting some cool people, so I wouldn't change anything.

Hindsight is 20/20 so it seems like a moot point. But saying that, I'd likely not have put in fiat (which was fortunately not a lot at all) at a time where HIVE and Splinterlands were at an all time high. Both of which have been trending downwards with no signs of recovery. And also, I should have sold my Splinterland assets when the going was good too.

It's difficult to time the market and we tend to invest in things when the dynamic seems very positive. It's a normal and human behavior I believe.

When I meet a Hive newbie I gave some advices that I didn't have when I joined.

First look for projects like apis.hive ( well, it didn't existed in my time but if someone joins now is a good idea)
Second do the PUM with 1 hive per day, you get some delegation.
Third, go directly to communities that fit me and usually help a lot, with curation or even with contests (or contests like known as missions in liotes).

I would try to limit the number of projects that I tried to support. At first, I jumped into everything and spread myself way to thin that what little I did have to offer did not add much value. However being involved in all those projects, I did learn that a lot of projects will both fail and succeed and there is no way to predict which projects will fall into which group until they actually do...

It's difficult not to jump in all the shiny things. It's a learning process. With time, I started not to into anything anymore which probably isn't the best approach either lol.

Maybe the question is a bit off for me, because what a newbie should do today, or 2 years ago, or maybe 4 years ago, definitely are different. so there is no need for "start from scratch" analogy anymore.

A noobie for today era? Simple, stick with the big fishes, lick big curators ass who I mean not for curators with big HP, but more on curators who has low HP but given power to upvote using big HP account.

That's their holy grail for getting OCD CURANGEL and APPRECIATOR upvote, they will be labeled as high quality onboarded and for whatever shitposts they write will be labeled as high effort and good quality.

It would definitely be interacting more with people and engaging with them. It took me a long time to start commenting and participating more on Hive, like talking to people, asking how they're doing, socializing more. In the beginning I was quite stuck on that, so if I could start from scratch, I think I would do that.

Yuhh I think it's a little bit philosophical question. But if to talk about me first of I think that everybody has his own way.
And of course I have some points which I'd like to change in my long Hive trip.
First of them not to make long brake in publishing my posts as it was.
Also at the beginning it didn't worth to publish just couple words posts as I did on my first year on Steemit at that time.
Another one point to which was worth to pay attention is to finish my travel series like it happened with my series posts about my travel to Germany.
Of course there are another several points which worth to change but they more personal for me.

Ohh ok then I can say that I learned a lot even how to communicate with people in some cases. Of course it can be considered as a basic skill but can happen different situations.
Also I learned how to edit in Markdown when it was old editor on Steemit)) sometimes I can use it when editing readme on GitHub or gitab in daily life))

I think it would start with interacting with people. I remember starting off by making posts like others, but not many people will look at your post. You need to get to know people, so it would be to find an area you are interested in and engage there.

Well, we have a lot more options today than when I started back in 2020... Unlike back then, I would start by using a Bitcoin-backed loan to frontload my account and split the loot between HP, HBD, and selected 2nd tier tokens such as LEN and LENM.

I'd blog at about the same rate as I do now, or a bit more often if time and inspiration permit.
I'd run my HBD Freedom Ladder from Day 1.
I'd create a "flywheel" to support it through delegations and tribaldex pools.

In short, I'd do from Day 1 more or less what I'm doing now, which took a few years for me to learn to do and to be able to do as there was no Tribaldex and no Liotes when I started back in 2020!

It took me a long time to start posting on Hive. I started playing Splinterlands, and only after a year did I start posting effectively. Even then, it was only one or two posts a week. These days, I'm more consistent with my posting! That's what I would change if I started from scratch!

Your question implies that I retain my experience from nowadays, otherwise, I'd probably repeat a lot of the past mistakes.

Recently I discovered some BTC transactions I made on Coinbase in 2015... Didn't even remember I had BTC back then. Of course, I sold, haven't bought it.

What I would change would be to get into crypto with an open mind and research it deeper much sooner. That implies being on the ancestor of Hive earlier too. Seems I dabbled with crypto early enough, but didn't take it seriously for a good while.

i wouldn't create so many alt accounts , since you can create communities now , but keeping people intrested in the communities require give aways or almost guaranteed high upvotes , people got greedy instead of wanting interactions .

In the old days people would discuss more about the content and quality , now all you see are votingtrails and less discusions.

i find it also harder to give meaningfull feedback these days , as a curator to often i get ignored or even muted by people for saying my thoughts or trying to educate them on how to post .

I find that pretty upsetting. Curation is a difficult and time consuming task and people don't realize how lucky they are that some people do it at all. I also realized that a lot of people don't even answer comments on their posts which I believe is the minimum that an author can do...
