Introduction
¡Hola! (Lo siento por mi débil español)
Some time ago I wanted to find out what are the non-English language communities on Steem. And I created such a post: @jacekw.dev/analysis-of-non-english-communities-on-steem. It turned out that the #spanish community is the largest non-English community on Steem! I thought that it's time to get to know each other better :) Especially that this year SteemFest is taking place in Poland, so maybe some people would like to ask questions to Polish people. This post will be entirely written in English so that both sides can understand it :)
This article will be divided into two parts:
- the first with our questions to #spanish community
- the second with our answers to these questions.
Before we get to the main part, let's look at some statistics (from 01.01.2018 to 31.08.2018).

The #polish community may not be too big, but it is well organized. Our main channel of communication is https://steem.chat/channel/polish. Every month we have statistics that present the current state of the community: @jacekw/przekroj-spolecznosci-polish-sierpien-2018.
2: Which #polish users are most recognized on Steem?
- @gtg - top Steem witness, IT Wizard

5: Does the #polish community stick together or is it divided into many groups?
Despite the fact that we often argue, create different subgroups and have some dramas, as a community we rather stick together.
6: What principles / conventions / initiative have you developed?
- We have a pretty well-organized system of tags with the prefix
pl-, thanks to which Polish-language posts do not reach English-speaking recipients (it would happen if the tag is a word in both languages). The tree of tags can be seen here: https://steemweb.pl/categories. - Each week we organize a contest in which we write posts on one of the 3 topics (which were drawn on Wikipedia): @steemit-polska/tematy-tygodnia-tematygodnia-46-tematy. The initiative has been running for 46 weeks now.
- A summary of the best articles of the week is posted by a dozen or so editors in the Tygodnik Kuratorski.
- #pl-publikacje - an initiative of writing articles promoting Steem to various newspapers
- Long-distance adoption of a girl from Congo: https://fundition.io/#!/@barbarossastudio/9xq89viul
- Smuggling chocolate, available for 3SBD: @hallmann/czekolada-za-sbd-czyli-najwiekszy-przemyt-w-dziejach-kartelu
- Blood donation - with 1 STEEM reward: @barbarossastudio/krew-dla-boga-krwi-zrob-donacje-i-otrzymaj-1-steem
We also have many curation initiatives:
- @diosbot - bot that upvotes good articles
- WISE - system that delegates vote of one user to other users (experts)
- #perpetuummobile - curation system to support authors writing in some popular #polish tags
7: What are the biggest problems of the #polish community?
- decline in activity in recent months
- there are smaller and larger dramas ;)
- people are discouraged by falling rewards
