Hey Steemer's! This will be a quick intro into the unofficial Steemit Chat (https://steemit.chat) When so many people are either waiting for there application to be approved for the Steemit (https://steemit.com) site or have trouble and direct themselves to the chat, it can be confusing for them at first. This post is for those people. Let's begin shall we. :)
First off, we want to look at the right side of the page once you click on the Steemit chat link that looks like here on this page (click on the hamburger menu on the top-right corner the Steemit site):
When you do enter the chat room (it opens up in a tab, hopefully) you will get this window below:
When you see this window pop-up, your page will be blank and will need to click on the general tab on the left side of the page here:
You will be able to add different rooms by searching for them in the general tab or using the search box in the top left corner. You favorite rooms, hide rooms, or leave the rooms entirely. This also could apply to conversations. The # can get you to the room of your choice (if it is available) and to see if there are more channels, you have an italicized more channels at the bottom of this particular image.
The main room looks like this:
The three main things one should focus on is the top of this bar for important information, the middle of the screen for the main chat, and the bottom of the chat, where there is a separate box to actually chat to other participants with. To promote your post, please use the #postpromotion channel for that. For, help use the #help channel. For any other channel, just ask! For abuse, please use #steemitabuse.
The last portion of the chat is like this:
Here you can find:
- Room Info
- Members
- Mentions (people you have actually @ you)
- pinned messages
and there are others as well. Each of these "tabs" has their own options and if need be, I can go over each and every one of them if there is support for that. If you want to focus on three main "tabs", then members list, pinned messages, and mentions would be the ones I would focus on.
Beyond that, the room frequency, number of members, and the direction of conversation just because this is a worldwide chat operates, basically 24x7 and has some volunteers and admins that can provide assistance but it may not be right away and it may not be what you want to hear. However, I have yet to be dissatisfied with the level of service between those that have helped me and the up-time of the chat room.
If you enjoyed this post and would love to know more about the specifics of the chat site, let me know with a comment and an up-vote! You can catch me in the chat room most of the time and I would love to meet and promote your content.
