Don't worry about voting comments, it is a complete waste of time until you get a decent amount of staked HP under your belt.
The rewarder comment app thing does indeed only collect comments upto three days after the post is posted to curate. You are doing it right.
It is more important you engage verbally than with a vote on comments on thi stage.
If I were you then I would only vote on posts, and if you like a post then comment. Don't worry about voting a comment you receive.
I'll thank you here for all of your additional input and thoughts on how best to proceed @tengolotodo. 🫡
"It is more important you engage verbally than with a vote on comments on thi stage."
Understood. And I knew in advance of choosing to start writing that would be important. The only comment upvotes will be on my own posts, as I have now gotten some confirmation that it works for the partnership approach I touched on here in my introduction.
Once I have gotten farther along, I will review and refine these starting point decisions, as needed. And probably write some sort of an update post, if that seems best.
For now, my integrity dictates that I follow through on doing what I said I would do.
