Communities Have Arrived!

communities on steemit thumb.jpg

We are excited to announce the official release of Communities on Steemit.com!

With this release steemit.com transforms from a decentralized blogging platform, to a decentralized communities platform similar to reddit.com, and finally delivers on its original promise as stated in the Steem Whitepaper:

Collectively, user-generated content has created billions of dollars worth of value for the shareholders of social media companies, such as Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter. In 2014, Reddit hypothesized that its platform would be improved if everyone who contributed to reddit.com by posting stories, adding comments or voting were rewarded with a fair share in Reddit, Inc. Steem aims to support social media and online communities by returning much of its value to the people who provide valuable contributions by rewarding them with cryptocurrency, and through this process create a currency that is able to reach a broad market, including people who have yet to participate in any cryptocurrency economy.

Steem is capable of handling a larger user base than Reddit. In 2015 Reddit’s 8.7 million users generated an average of 23 comments per second, with an average of 83 comments per year per user. There were 73 million top-level posts, for an average of 2 new posts per second. There were about 7 billion upvotes creating an average voting rate of 220 votes per second. All told, if Reddit were operating on a blockchain it would require an average of 250 transactions per second.

Steem has now proven that it can handle orders of magnitude more transactions than necessary to support an application like Reddit, and thanks to innovations like Hivemind and MIRA, it can do so without hitting scalability bottlenecks. Also thanks to Hivemind, users can expect the Communities features to rapidly improve over time because we no longer need update the blockchain itself in order to improve steemit.com and other Steem-powered applications.

Transforming Social Media

While many claim to be using blockchain technology to disrupt the social media landscape, with today’s public release we believe we are demonstrating once again that the Steem blockchain and steemit.com remain years ahead of the competition.

We would like to give a special thanks to the developers and users who helped us make Communities on steemit.com what you see today:

Hi Inertia,
Do you think a community would have their own customized URLs to prevent community confusion?

Like: steemit../s/food; steemit../s/foods
Instead of the current: steemit/s/hiv...123

I’m sure this would help with search engine ranking, plus when a community link is shared on other socials platforms people would get a better sense of what they are clicking on.

This would be a good idea. Funny thing is anybody can register for example "food" someday we can have 10k food communities? If you have powerful SP this will be your advantage as an admin. Are bots still around? 😏 I'm just trying out, might stay again here😁 good luck every one!

I'll tell you my way of handling it until a better solution comes along. Say you have a URL you want to give someone:

https://steemit.com/trending/hive-100498

But just looking at the URL doesn't tell you anything. What I do is add the name of the community at the end, in the hash / anchor name of the URL:

https://steemit.com/trending/hive-100498#science

This is neat because if you ever type science into your browser URL later on, it'll find your community.

We can build this in by just using these #hashtag links suffixes in the actual main links we link to. This will eventually get added everywhere lol, or, we will all just be using steem browsers.

Very enthused and excited to be playing with communities. I’ve had a blast since last night and my mind races with possibilities!

2 things...
The bug on mobile wherein no distinct link to the “friends” feed exists needs fixed ASAP! I’ve seen this causing confusion for a number of people.

And... does the Steemit team have an eye on the cross posting feature implemented by @steempeak and is there the possibility of it becoming a part of Condenser if it performs well?

If you think this development was done in a week, you demonstrate poor critical thinking skills. Communities have been in beta for some time, and were being tested prior to release. While timing is everything, the timing of communities being released does not reflect development effort in the last week.

Hi @valued-customer

To certan degree I'm on the same page with @cristo. Even one of Steemit Inc. employee mentioned that currently things are moving forward faster. Part of me believes that we would wait another weeks before HIVEs would come out from beta phase.

Yours, Piotr

I don't understand how all this works- I'm an old man- but it sure doesn't look like much of an improvement to me. Markdown doesn't go to Raw HTML anymore so I can't change to italic or bold. Can't use the quote option or headers. The search option doesn't work anymore, I can't even look up my old posts. All I can say is this sucks!!!

I don't know if it is censorship or customization. Is a group or community supposed to be the same as a public town square where nothing should ever be censored, hidden, blocked, deleted, removed, invisible, shadow banned, etc, etc, or should a Steem community be more like a private house where you bring in your friends for a meeting? So, should a group admin be like the house owner with the ability to rule the house and to kick out people or hide things in order to govern the conversation and everything within the given house? If the house is supposed to be public property, then no. If the house is supposed to be the private property of the admin, then maybe yes.

The ability to moderate sounds like a good idea in theory to the extent that a group or community might be the private property of a given admin. That is assuming a Steem community were to be private property and not public property or some kind of hybrid. So, it is a debate between censorship and customization. Some people might say it is censorship. And some people might say it is customization. I see both sides of the debate. I like customization to the extent that it your thing you are customizing. A big problem can be found to the extent that a thing might be public and not private.

To be honest, as nice as it all seems - and I'm sure it'll only get better - It's nothing so revolutionary on the surface, it just seems to be a re-jiggling of how the front end runs so it's more like reddit, when it used to be more like Wordpress.

The key is all the back-end stuff that they've been working on which, they argue, is far more powerful and forward-thinking than the likes of reddit, because it can handle more users etc etc.

However, the blockchain does only take on text and .json files, whereas reddit can take all manner of media by using the traditional centralised storage methods. So it depends on your priorities which determines how amazing or boring this is

I personally am enjoying the new feel

I started on steemit some years back but moved my focus to a different platform although still frequenting here. The communities already have made it easier for me to find individual interests and people.
The real plus for me though has to be notifications. That is an excellent feature and one i can see getting better as Steemit progresses.

well done core team

OK I think I found your problem...
When you start putting in the tags and you type in hive-100504, when you type in the - this message pops up below the tag line
2020-02-20 15_19_57-Create a post — Steemit.png

This message will not go away until you clear out the whole post and start over.
I copied the post, cleared it, then pasted the post body back in and redid the title and tags without the hive- in it and it will let me post it that way I think....

Let's now see how other UIs (like @esteemapp) shape things into this. It would be nice to see things being developed in a way where all developers would automatically get the "support" of the new features. Basically easing out the speed of change behind the scenes for their apps to support the just newly released features.

Something around the @openseed concept.

In another words, not just a library or group of them. But a framework, where when the app developer uses part of it, it basically using a format of code already implicit in the framework.

Sort of like the model of Apple developing for iOS.

Of course there are goods and bads about that approach. Freedom to improve will be reduced and constrained to the framework format, but speed of development and new apps will appear much faster.

In your steemit frontend profile page, if you are new to communities and have not joined any communities yet, when you click on the "Communities" tab you will be presented with the following screen with the message "Welcome! You don't have any subscriptions yet." and nothing else. It is, of course, confusing. Devs need to put a "Explore Communities" link on this page.

steem community.jpg

But, If you click on the Steemit logo (1), you will be taken to the Community page. When you click on "Explore Communities" tab you will be presented with the following screen where all the communities are listed and you can join/subscribe to any community you like (2) and/or you can create your own community (3). Cost of creating a community is 3 Steems.

Hm. Can I post a bug report? :-) It seems the description and rules fields for a community do not support line breaks. They say you should post one rule per line, but hitting Enter does nothing; even pasting in a multi-line string gets folded to a single line.

I dunno what's up with that.

I like that communities is live but I feel like now tags aren't nearly as prioritized. I have no problem with the communities but it would be great to allow us to still search things with tags (similar to how the old version was). Seems kinda odd that you would take away that feature, just to push communities.

where can I find a "how to" type guide on how to manage a community as an adminstrator?

I've created one, though am a little stumped on how to proceed at this point.

The only options I see available are to edit the community description, roles, and add posts. From what I've seen with other communities, it'd appear that it's possible to have all older posts with a given hashtag show up in the community thread - which would be great to do. Would appreciate a basic rundown on this, as well as get clear on any other functionalities, etc that might not be totally clear on the front end. (i.e. can we post to a community and our own blog simultaneously, or it is either-or? etc)

Thanks!

The search bar in the explore communities section doesn't seem to work 100%. I can type in arduino or TV and find at least one group but if I type in science or politics nothing comes up and I know there is a politics community I started. I would be surprised if there wasn't at least one science community also.

I saw the Steem search bar error Thursday. No results on anything. Some hours later. It was working. Oh, now, it is not working again. I wonder if they're still using Google. The search engine thing on Steemit.com has been better, generally, I think, than the one on Busy.org which appeared to have only allow for searching for usernames and not for posts, comments. You can at least use Google, Duck Duck Go, or other search engines, to search for Steem related articles, etc, at least for now.

Just joined the community, you can say that I’m your every day redditor. I see potential in this social media platform however I’m yet to understand how me and the people who follow me will mutually benefit for my activities in the platform. Looking forward to improve my experience as well as those who would like to hang out on my posts.

I wonder if Steem or at least an app of Steem should remain as simple in the UI as possible. Some would say so.

Oh that's great but what happened to the Steemit search function? It's not giving me any results today...

How about people who prefer not to use various condensers and just Steemit? Egads too many sites to log into. Come on...

How do you even search for communities? Been trying the search tool...says 'nothing found'
How do you subscribe to a community?

The UI needs to be improved a lot...
I can't filter out resteemed posts anymore (are we going backwards eh?)
I now need one click more to get to my feed (my friends). This is the most clicked button, it should be reachable on your blog.
No easy access to posts by steemitblog anymore.

I must say I am not impressed. The layout is good but not well thought through.

So how do people find post that aren't in a specific community?

I can't believe these things aren't thought of beforehand...

We would like to give a special thanks to ...

... the many small and medium sized Steemians who created and tested their own little communities.
Right? :)

Finally, we got it. Fantastic job, team. I hope Steemit will take place in one of the top userbase media sites very soon. Lately, I thought we are losing some valuable users, would like to see them back again. :)

Technical question: Can two communities have the exact same name like on fb for example? (but different hive-ids of course)

How do you know what communities are allies and which ones are enemies? Need better definition of sides. I want to know who is gonna fight who. You know? So we can validate this blockchain already.

Steemit is online since 2016. I think that the communities should have been the first thing to introduce on Steemit. Not four years after the introduction of the website. The communities should have been on Steemit since the introduction of Steemit. Or at least since a short time after the introduction of Steemit.

I really don't grasp all this.  I just want to share awareness of a better way to operate Human society such that the caring Ones take care of things, not promoting psychopaths to power, as do the present systems.  I don't see how this "communities" thing will help in that effort.

I hope someOne can give Me a clue as to how this effort can be facilitated.

Ok, the search function is working now. Can you also put a FAQ on communities in the Steemit FAQ section pls?

This is getting more complicated to use. Why isn't all posts going to show up on Steemit like normal? Why will posts only show up on certain communities and not on others depending on the tags?

Wth is going on here? Does it mean my Steemit posts won't show up on other communities because I'm not on them? Like Steempeak or any other community dapp? This is terrible. 😢😢😢

Steem is capable of handling a larger user base than Reddit. In 2015 Reddit’s 8.7 million users generated an average of 23 comments per second, with an average of 83 comments per year per user. There were 73 million top-level posts, for an average of 2 new posts per second. There were about 7 billion upvotes creating an average voting rate of 220 votes per second. All told, if Reddit were operating on a blockchain it would require an average of 250 transactions per second.

Steem has now proven that it can handle orders of magnitude more transactions than necessary to support an application like Reddit, and thanks to innovations like Hivemind and MIRA, it can do so without hitting scalability bottlenecks. Also thanks to Hivemind, users can expect the Communities features to rapidly improve over time because we no longer need update the blockchain itself in order to improve steemit.com and other Steem-powered applications.

WOW that is so epic. I feel like this deserves its own post

This is building on the idea of steem being anti fragile or self correcting, basically the mroe users, teh stroinger it gets not the other way aroud. Steem literally got users to join in deve;opmenta nd help allow itself to scale and build subreddit style systems better than i could have ever imagined thanks to contributions by steemians like @wehmoenwhose name i will be name dropping increasingly as communities becomes more and more popular.

I was always told that once we had "communities" we would be able to block ideological downvoters who never post, EVER, but who are simply here to downvote EVERY POST of someone whose world view they don't like, for example, @bloom-- who never posts but is just here to downvote every post I ever make (and has down so now for many months--totaling thousands of downvotes and hundreds in lost rewards for me.)

So, now that it is here, how do I block him?

Ummm....yea...I never really thought so...

As a content creator, who spends hours of hard work to create posts, I am so grateful for steemit being one of the very little social media platforms who appreciates content creators and understands we are a backbone to any media sharing platform! Excited for all the positive changes in steemit and all that the future holds for it! Steemit all the way!

Does this mean I can return to the platform after having a cyber-bully basically delete my account?

How are "communities" different from some "topic" to the user? Now, I see with communities you can become an Admin to some topic. What else do "communities" mean?

Posting bugs galore. Posting in last-viewed community instead of personal blog. Link to switch from community post to personal post does not work. It has been 9 days. This may drive me to another frontend if you don't fix this broken premature feature rollout.

Dear Steemit Team,

I appreciate your hard work for steemit community and blockchain itself.
but it’s very hard agree with your opinion in terms of your idea of what we should focus on and we should have focused on more up to now.

I think that the blockchain technology itself is not the priority that we Steemit team and many talented contributors should have focused.
We Steem are not just blockchain or crypto currency. We are social media blockchain. That means we need members to join in our society and ecology with so much interests and make them contribute this community with excited mind.

So at this moment, please do not spend so much effort to technology itself. Rather that that, focus on the basic functions of social media such as good interactiveness and communication function appearance at least of the level of facebook and at the same time please focus on promoting Steem concept and the advantage of steem to general people, not to professional programming engineer. Maybe you need some specialist for this activities with marketing mind.

if I have some time, I will explain more and describe more detail in my blog as a strategist has had several years business plan and strategy experience and study.
