Good to know. The global and U.S. ranking is actually huge. Out of curiosity, I pulled up the Alexa ranking of the venerable conservative forum Free Republic. (It's been around since 1997, and it's still one of the top Conservative hang-outs.)

Global Rank: 11,362
U.S. Rank: 2,404
That's well above the current figures for Steemit - global rank 15,951; U.S. rank 7,913 - but Steemit is getting there...
steemit.com is remarkably going up so fast. everyday the rank improves. we'll get there before we even know it.
Yep. The Free Republic website makes for a reachable goal - near-term ;)
