This used to be accurate. Since we released our automated system a few weeks ago, enrollments are processed automatically within 2.4 hours. The confirmation transactions are still manual and typically sent within 2 days. New members start with enough balance for an initial vote, but after the initial vote the frequency depends on their enrollment level. Members with only 1 unit will see upvotes very infrequently (sporadic upvotes of $0.011 instead of regular tiny upvotes).

I initially answered the question based on my own experience and not going through the old posts. With your reply, I reviewed the documents and found the answer that is almost the same as my initial answer. That tells me, the post is outdated and a new one is out there. I guess this is where the importance of a @steembasicinome web page comes in so that we users will just go to that web page instead of digging very old posts.
I have updated my response. 😊
Yep, there is a lot of old information, and we know that a lot of important updates get missed for various reasons. That's the purpose of this exercise: to help people better understand the new changes and create a new FAQ in the process.
We do have a web-site launch in our roadmap, but it's not our top priority.
