Well, specialization is good, but not as a newbie over here.
You should have to try as much as possible to touch every area and angle of the forum,
Try as much as possible to engage in every discussion you deem fit to talk about and always try to make yourself know now because time will come that you'll get busy and wouldn't have the time to work on your reputation.

You know, being here for 4 years, I'm still discovering places where I've never been before. And, surprisingly, there are a lot of them. For example, how can a person write about gambling if he is far from casinos and sports? In the same way, in the developers or miners sections, people write who have at least some idea about these topics.
It is silly to offer to have time to hang out in all sections since, by grabbing inches from each section, you may not grasp the very essence, simply from lack of time. Each person will always have their likes and interests, and I hope that the OP will be able to easily navigate where he is most drawn.

It's not news that specialization in a particular area brings out a lot of quality in people's works. But do you guys think that a newbie should focus on developing a niche to thrive in or diversify his/her interests as much as possible

I think you should follow your interests and what interests you.
Each of the forum members is different and is interested in a different aspect of the crypto industry.
Are you more interested in technology, business, or maybe you just want to meet crypto enthusiasts from your local area?
Only you know the answer to these questions, and accordingly you will choose the part of the forum that suits your interests.
Personally, I believe that investments should be diversified, not personal interests Grin

No one can follow all areas and be an expert in everything.

Apart from the beginners& help section, is there any other board or childboard you could recommend for a newbie?

I will recommend Off-topic, Politics and Bitcoin Discussion (the last is the kernel of this forum) in addition to what you've, if you asked me. It's good to have a niche, especially if those areas make you write and contribute meaningfully without a drag. I've observed certain users struggle to post in boards and threads where they aren't gifted to write on but because of campaign requirements they compel themselves to post there. In such posts, it's often disappointing to read as their contributions often display their lack of knowledge in said subject matter(s). I think this attitude can be seen across campaigns with heavy restrictions on areas to post in and those who apply want to be in it at all cost even when they don't have the basic knowledge on restricted areas to post in.

It's a question of interests. If after visiting the various boards and child boards you find yourself gravitating more towards a particular board(s), then you can try to learn more about that niche and grow your knowledge. You should not just try to force the development of a niche without any interest in it.

It also depends on previous knowledge. A political expert would be likely drawn to Politics & Society board, and a dev would be more drawn to technical discussions, while a casino player would be drawn to gambling discussions.

Note that a niche does not mean being limited to a certain board, you can spread your interests across two or three or four (or more) boards which you find an interest in and enjoy conversations on.

Apart from the beginners& help section, is there any other board or childboard you could recommend for a newbie?

Yes there are numbers of boards you can check in like :
* Economy
* Bitcoin discussion
* Local board (Naija)
* Politics

These are some boards you can post in and hope for growth

I don't think you should force yourself to do either.

If you're more comfortable focusing on one thing for a while then you should do that, if not it'll be useless.

If you're a newbie here I think trying to get a broad sense of everything is a good start. If you're focusing on one thing you'll have to keep going from widening your content exposure to reducing it (repeatedly) and I don't think that's a good way to start unless you don't know how to find other things or only have one specific interest at the time you started here.

If you're interested in crypto you'll do much better being interested in that on here than you will be by having interest in the forum (a lot of users a skeptical of newer users who try to police the forum too as soon as they arrive via reputation topics and trust).

Yes, it's very important to me, in other for you not to lose focus and always stay on track you should always focus all your energy on what you know it will benefit you the most, and when it comes to what you can contribute if you are good with development and coding just go for it and share your knowledge and ideas with for others to learn and give out their own idea to you too.
being in every area will make you lose focus and you might end confusing your self at the same.

As you said, specialization in a particular area brings out a lot of quality in people's work. broadening your interests is good but it will always be better to broaden/diversify your interest after becoming an expert in one thing that interests you the most.

jus to clarify that this is only my opinion and others might disagree.
