I agree @unspeakableme.
There is a learning curve yet it is well worth the effort. Many come on here only to leave in frustration. At that point, it is sad to see but there are many more who are waiting to join. For the moment, all of us need to take advantage of it and power up. When the numbers start arriving, it could get a bit hectic.
That is another reason I am looking forward to communities.
Very true. Though a lot feel that we're already a little late to the party, if we compare it to those after us, they'd be feeling they are late to the party. It's all relative. The price of steem is steeper than it was last year but considering it's still going up, now is still a good time to load up and power up. It seems like 2018 will see Steemit grow exponentially if this first quarter is any indication.
I wonder if they plan to officially integrate communities in the platform though? I find that most communities are formed on steemit.chat and discord and then linked back here. So I'm wondering if they plan to eventually make it like facebook were communities are part of the platform itself. It would be way easier to find communities that way instead of accidentally finding out about so and so community in posts.
