Steemit Communities/Hive: What's All The Buzz!?
Steemit Communities Are Coming!
Two days ago the @steemitblog announced that Hives (or Communities) were almost ready to be implemented on the Steem blockchain. They also gave an overview of the implementation, functions, and benefits of the new community features. Today I'll go into detail about what this means for us as Steemit users and what to expect when they launch.

This sounds promising, me being an artist i would love to be in a community totally focused on that within this blockchain!! Very useful. Im hype about it but not sure how its going to look!!
You're today's comment winner!! 😎🥂
Each day I pick a random comment on my post to upvote and today was your lucky day 🙌🏻
That's what I'm interested to see... how it will be implemented and appear from the user interface. Should be very good for the entire Steem platform though. :)
thats big!! Salute and Thank You!!
Personally HIVE will help me a lot . I have some areas to produce contents on , but just dont know if i need a more controlled/selected group environment . Facebook group is what i want to replace into . I am sure many others are feeling the same. Also the readers (who genuinely need constant quality contents) needs to cruise easily without some crapy contents in the hot/trendy list. Much needed update from steem , looking forward to that . And as always great explanation . Thumbs up
nice & informative post..
@upvote & @resteem has done..
Great points about the community aspect of this. I know personally I would love to set up individual communities for my different businesses / endeavours and bring people to specific groups.
That would attract so many more to the platform if we could tailor make and manage our individual communities and members.
It’s going to be interesting seeing the different communities that grow from this. And you’re absolutely right; we should see a lot of growing interest in the platform due to this.
As a Reddit user in the past, I see some benefits of implementing a more organized site. It would also help get the content where the user wants it for quick access. However, I do have some concerns on how some communities will be created and the process of assigning moderation roles within them. I cannot see how a decentralized approach could work under this framework. That concern extend when thinking abiut restricted communities as it will foster centralization on the platform from my opinion.
I was hoping somebody would chime in with experience on Reddit. I was pretty sure this would be similar but neve really used reddit myself.
I’m not sure if this will have any impact on Steemit’s decentralization though. The functions being implemented seem similar to the same control somebody has over their own channel. It’s just being extended to other users to manage and post to. But we’ll see.
Its a double edge sword. Moderation is necessary to get rid of spammers/scammers/abusers. But since there is an income stream attached to it, mods will be forced to use their power well. Centralization of power via SP holder is already here...i see this new feature as a way to counteract those who yield too much voting power.
This is good news. One problem I have with Steemit is the lack of organization of topics and communities of interest. Looking forward to the addition.

Awesome work. Great content really needs to be appreciated.
I use Reddit and post on there occasionally and this does seem like it will be similar to a subreddit, to which I'm subscribed to several. I'm really looking forward to when this is released and I'm sure it will make it a better user experience for everyone.
Thank you for the information. I have a lot of learning to do :) I will have to binge watch your steemit videos to get caught up lol
