At the moment Steemit is like a big box where posts are thrown in and are only separated by tags.
Most of the posts that are trending are written in English but there is actually a lot of activity in other languages. Korean, Chinese and Spanish for instance.
Here are the tags, just look at that activity!

I guess for me it's easier to see how much more active, bigger and stronger the Steem blockchain is today compared to a year ago. I saw it all unfold from July 2016 by being here every day since then.
From the scenario of total DOOM to the awesome growth of today where I believe the blockchain is now to solid to fail.
Steemit is a worldwide thing. And it's growing rapidly. 3700 new accounts created yesterday and we are nearing 700.000 transactions on the blockchain in one day.
When the signup procedure is perfected and communities arrive I'm expecting magical things. All you have to do is wait, blog and enjoy the ride. Having Steem tokens is something I recommend if you believe in the growth of the platform.
Steemfest 1 was already an international event. I'm expecting it to be even more nationalities this year. It truly will be something.
I was also asked if I had some tips for new people that join the platform. If you don't have time to watch the vlog (@6:25) it's basically this:
Blog every day, created what you enjoy creating and stick with. Don't ask for upvotes, don't be envious. Be active in the community and just have fun.
I talk about more in my vlog.

My bro! I've yet to come across a more insightful, helpful and down right useful vlog for newcomers to Steemit. Your advice about enjoying the platform and not forcing yourself to write just to please others is pure gold dust advice.
The three keywords here should be "fun, friendly and freedom". Sticking to those will yield a very positive experience here on Steemit. It's almost guaranteed!
And finally, thank you so much for throwing me and @rea into the mix (Especially mentioning @rea for doing so well. I'm really proud of her so thank you!). But you already know how highly we think of you and what an absolutely awesome person we know you are. Us meeting at the Steemfest the way we did was pure fate, simple as that. And I managed to get a lifelong friend out of it. One of the best people I've ever known, hand on heart, bro. You're a diamond!
Bless you for just being "you" and I look forward to many more fantastic posts coming my way from you.
Thank you, my true brother! :)
He bud, thanks for your kind words as always. And believe me, the pleasure is all mine!
Great incite on the growth potential of communities on Steemit. Just like you, everyone I know that knows about Steemit is b/c of I've told them, and I imagine most users at this point have that same scenario, so I absolutely agree we are still in the very beginning stages. Very exciting when you think of just how much Steemit can grow and how much better it can get. Boggles the mind a bit when you think about it.
Incredible advice on blogging about what you love and just doing it every day. When you're doing something you really enjoy it doesn't feel like work, and you go that extra mile to make sure it's really, really good b/c you care about it. In essence, if you build, they will come. Provide great content that has value to others and the rest will take of it's self. Great post as always and have a great day! :)
good advice from a true veteran. thanks for helping the community!
Thank you.
Hi steemit users i thought i would share how steemit is doing against reddit its competition

follow and upvote pls
Did you read the post? What did you signup for here for..just curious.
@mishad5
I think you are totally missing the point here. Steemit goes beyond a social media platform that exists solely to make a quick buck. Steemit is a blockchian-based social medial platform that rewards its members for their MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTIONS to the community. Think for a moment, in our worldly societies, information is worth millions, same applies to Steemit. Meaningful, quality contributions by member are valued and are rewarded. This brings in more members and the platform (community) becomes stronger and stronger. As the author says Steemit is going global and in future may indeed transcends individual governments on our world. Which may indeed revolutionize geo-politics, economies and societies as we know today. I suggest you invest some time in reading the Steem whitepaper authored by Daniel Larimer et. al.
Steemit is one of the best social networking sites in the world and it is only time when it hits mass adoption. The fact that it is able to handle so many transactions without lagging is one of the main reason it will succeed faster than alot of the blockchains out there. The low barrier of entry and reward system will make facebook and other social netowrking sites look like crap. It Steemit will eventually become the biggest social networking platform and its only a matter of time. I m so lucky to be here and no more facebook for me because Steemit is way better!!!
Could not agree more. I'm new here but already see what is going on.
Sounds great - followed you
I only several days here but like it more and more
It wouldn't surprise me if Asian cultures adopted Steemit faster than anywhere else. China/Korea/Japan already dominate various crypto markets.
When I see non-English blogs here, it reminds me of how quickly Steemit could expand globally, since it already has footholds outside of western countries.
When people ask me what's a good entry price for buying STEEM, I simply refer them to these graphs.
I believe that with easy signups and communities (and maybe even different front ends for them) rapid growth will happen (if we are not seeing it already). It's very exciting times at the moment. Those graphs are awesome. thanks!
From someone who has been here a fraction of the time as you @exyle, I can still see the influence of a platform that is generating from many nations across the globe. It truly feels amazing to be a part of an organization that you can benefit from financially and at the same time stand behind in terms of how you achieved those finances. Let's all keep up the great positive vibes and only good things will come our way👍
Really good post @exyle ! What I like about it is that you don't fake it, you just tell everyone who want to join this community that it is going to take time and effort.. Like you said, it is just like in real life, you have to put in the work in order to get recognized by your peers and eventually earning good money! The best advice of yours in this video is that everybody should post about what they truly love and not some trending subjects just to make money. I will add that you're only at your best when you do what you love guys, so just be yourself and enjoy the ride ! Thanks for sharing my friend !

Yes, Steemit is doing very well. Im here for a while too, and I see a real community growing that I didn't find anywhere else. When the Steem price was around 0.10 USD I kept using the platform, just for fun because the rewards were not worth it.
Now the last month the rewards become really relevant and the community is very positive. It is fun and rewarding now and the fundamentals of Steemit are getting better every day, even if the price isn't rising anymore. Hope the previous ATH will get broken soon, and the rocket get launched to the moon!
I totally agree. Steemit will become huge!
Definitely agree. Steemit is going viral. It's just a great social media platform where you get paid. When Steemit becomes mainstream, it will be unbelievable. A great opportunity for everyone
Looks like exponential growth! I am wondering, when it's taking over facebook :D
Pretty soon mate, pretty soon.
FB is moneytaker, STEEM is moneymaker
Steemit is growing in leaps and bounds. Glad to to international community dominating Steem. Korea has played phenomenal role in steemit success.totally agree blockchain technology is now too solid to fail.
I moved almost 3k I had in Dogecoin over to here and converted to Steem power that is how much faith I have on Steemit, and have been upvoting away non stop since. I now need to take a break because ran it down to 30%. But it is hard when so much great content is constantly being put out like this. I told myself that I would let it recover and restrain myself to voting just the top 10 posts of the day for me. Working on it at least.
The growth is getting crazy... I am even here more than ever before. I don't think Ive posted on my other social media platforms since I've been here :)
That is so true
I've been on this platform for 13 days. And i've made over a 150 posts. Most of them are comments, but it looks like i'm hooked.
Do over 3000+ posts like I did in 3 weeks haha
Short Facebook?
Really cool post and video, keep steeming!
Love the red ninja.
I've also noticed a lot of German posts as well. I hope Steemit becomes the next Facebook, could you imagine that? I think it would solve a lot of problems. People out of work blogging and writing great posts to be able to afford food. It blows my mind and I'm so lucky and happy to be here. Thanks for the great post @exyle. Following!
I think what features we see with Steemit now will only get better. Steemit is growing incredibly fast, but strong. There's a ton of people in it for the long haul, including myself. I just love the platform and what it offers compared to anything else out there. But, like you said, BE a part of the community and enjoy it. I'm sure the ride will continue to be wonderful.
"If you want to avoid me i would recommend to book one of the other three hotels" lool))
Love your badass beard and honesty, thx for the post.
lol, I laughed when I said that too :). Thanks, man, growing a beard also changed my life. I have a babyface :)
Nice post thanks for sharing my friend !
Thank you very much for the knowledge and information, hopefully your science keeps growing.
I love your vlogs exyle. I think they make a great way for new steemians to get to know the history and love for steemit. I created a playlist of your vlogs to feature on our discord VO.TU. server where we host the podcast.
https://steemit.com/vlog/@beanz/vaag-featured-vloggers-on-vo-tu-discord-steemit-chat-is-down-come-hang-with-vo-tu-for-the-chance-to-get-your-posts-featured-by
Thank you, Beanz. I clicked the link and Just saw my first vlog again. Hard to believe I only started 6 weeks ago with them.
Thanks exyle. I wish I had found steemit earlier, but like you said, I think this is just the beginning. I worry about what mass adoption looks like, but I think if we look to your advice in this vlog and follow your example, steemit will continue to be a great place. I'm trying to follow your example by scraping together as much steem power as I can as well. Thanks for leading the way.
Steemit it's just over a year old. That's pretty new man. You have time.
Absolutely right! Steemit is doing great. It will be the next version of facebook.🙃
Hi. exyle. i'm Korean. i'm not good at english. i hope for understanding. i'm in steemit about 3week ago. and many korean steemer join in steemit. for example, i'm the first steemer among my friend. after i'm in steem, i recommend my friends, so 3 friends joined in steemit and other 2 friends will join in steemit. i think this is the situation in korea.
thank you for good posting~
Your English is fine. I'm also getting more and more people to join. It's a lot of fun!
It certainly is... the current main stream social media platforms must be shaking in their shoes
It can be assumed that the we see the 1million users/ accounts this year if the daily rate of new accounts (approximately 2500) stays the same :)
Yes, Steemit it's growing very fast!
good post
great to have been here for so long - i hope to increase my influence and grow with the network too
I love this website. Not just because it pays for your time spent on it (I already earned about 2 dollars in 2 days:) but because of the simple design that it offers. I wish it stays like this. The simple is better. Google proved it already.
I like the simple design too. I especially like that there are no adds here.
Bye, Bye JOB!
Good vlog as always mate
Like your vlog! I'm new on steemit and I'm gonna follow you.
I too am excited about steemit, upvoted, resteemed n now following you
This is your strongest Steemit themed post this week @exyle, thus it's very worthy of $'s! Good to see you going large on the Easyjet seating there. Ha ha! Resteemed.
Thank you so much. My legs are going to be so happy in November :)
Another great post again today @exyle - now go rest those classy feet of yours my Dutch friend ... the hunter will take over Steeming duties now ;) Hee-hee! Steem on!
Steemit is growing rapidly and it possesses great potential..A game changer for sure
Im currently in Japan and I really wanna spread the words to the people here,
I can speak Japanese fluently and was wondering if there is anything I can do to spread the words here, this is great for everybody if anybody can help me out please let me know! thanks!!!
Steemit is the best social networking sites in the world!!!
Facebook? Twitter? Really???
The low barrier of entry and reward system will make facebook and other social netowrking sites look like crap.
Steemit will become the biggest social networking platform and its only a matter of time.
Once the Arab world gets word if steemit, we will see huge activity from countries like Egypt, Morocco, Saudi and Lebanon!
They are some of the most active populations on social media channels, namely Facebook for communication.
I think you hit the nail on the head, just be consistent, and work daily and you will slowly grow and eventually get rewarded for your work..
Right 'Blog every day, created what you enjoy creating and stick with. Don't ask for upvotes, don't be envious. Be active in the community and just have fun'
Without my niche that's all I'm aiming for! A day out in the city to be blogged later. Keeps the girl happy as we are recording it on the blockchain, and gives me something to write about.
Lisbon is interesting me too 😁
Nice blog. I wish I found out about this site last year. You also picked up a new follower. I really want to go to Steemfest, but unless I make a lot more on here, I will be going next year. Great work, keep it up.
Many thanks to @exyle. You have really educate a lot of people here . Especially the newest steemit here.We those new here are green in a lot the things that happen here. But with just what u have said has really benefited me as a new person on this platform.Steemit is now trending in Ghana Africa . And we goin to transcend it . Because we love steemit.Steemit is the best...
Hello @exyle. It's very kind of you to mention me in your vlog. It was so great meeting you at the last Steemfest. @ezzy and I are very grateful to have gone through the ups and downs of this platform with you. You've always been so encouraging and helpful. What a special friend you are.
Thank you, @exyle. Look forward to meeting up very soon again.
Hey, @rea it was my pleasure. It's been a fun ride on Steemit with you two so far :). See you in August.
Thing I'm wondering is what happens to the tags that you use but that are not officially listed in the topics list? I guess they stick to the post and can be found but there's no way to index/sort them without matching a specific one?
Anyway, I share your sentiment re the 'magical things' you're expecting to be happening. Some of the greatest things here for me are the little ones like the scaling of the page works beautifully while photos are always kept in frame. The simple separation of hot trending promoted and new is awesome. The minimalist layout just works so well. I got so sick of convoluted, overly stylized and engineered page layouts that in the end become totally useless if you're someone like me who needs things to work fast and reliably.
Got a new follower my man, thanks for the post keep it up!
Happening again and it'll continue happening until steemit's taken over facey, reddit and youtube I think :D. I give out 2 dollars with each vote now which is absolutely amazing too. Got me stirred up to go on a big steemit advertising campaign again, trying to get friends involved on it, but a lot of them still see through it. Too good to be true I guess? I think people have just had their hearts ripped out and dragged along the ground too many times by sites that say you can make a living online. Steemit's actually turned out to be that rare dream come true. I can't wait til the mates who didn't listen to me start waking up and realizing the potential here. :P
Very nice post, it is great to see Steemit prosper :)
Upvoted! Keep up the great posts and I'm following your logs. Please follow me back
LOVE Steem IT!
