Welcome!
Introductions and basic questions are best addressed here in the Introductions community, by clicking Help on the app or desktop, checking out the blogs below, or reading previous answers by high REP members in the Introductions community.
Introductions or very basic questions not in this community are probably going to get aggressively downvoted as they are of less relevance.
If you want to get REL Coins and benefit from the Relevant community, here is a quick guide.
The TLDR Version
DO:
Read informative writing
Upvote and bet/stake on RELEVANT content
Downvote ALL irrelevant spam
DO NOT:
Post in the wrong community
Post irrelevant content
Post short, superficial, responses
Post airdrops, scams, etc
Troll for upvotes
The Slightly Longer Version
To get started, you need to acquire REL Coins/Tokens. Currently, that most likely means buying them off of Uniswap or an exchange. Once you have them in a Metamask wallet that is connected to your account, you can begin staking on content.
On the Relevant platform you can earn REL Coins form upvoting and betting on RELEVANT content (see it’s right in the name). If you think an article or comment is valuable, upvote it and bet/stake on it. Stakes are held for up to 3 days and then returned. If you bet correctly you will be awarded REL Coins proportional to your bet, taking into account how early you stake, and how other content is up or down voted.
Given this, it is in your interest to ONLY bet on relevant content and to downvote any irrelevant content (downvoting costs you nothing). There is no REL Coin benefit to posting comments. Additionally, irrelevant comments are a nuisance. This is NOT a like-for-like community, so skip all of the pointless “Awesome,” “Nice,” “Interesting,” “Wow,” “Good,” “Like,” and “Upvote” replies.
You can post, but do not post anything unless it is genuinely going to add real value to the dialogue. Thoughtful, relevant, comments can add to your Reputation. Your Rep will not directly give you REL Coins, but it will give you more power to downvote spam.
