I have been a member of the Steemit community since July 2016 and have written more than 2000 posts. Although I haven't written a post on Steemit in the past 5 years due to all the changes, I was pleasantly surprised to see the community this active when I visited today for the first time in more than 2 years.

I sincerely hope that the platform can become what it once was. I still have friends all over the world from my initial engagements on Steemit. It was truly a blast, despite many challenges with the platform. As this is my first post in many years, I will not bore you to death, but rather post a few highlights.

During my previous tenure on Steemit, I became an integral part of the community and was the founders of Steemit Saturday, where we had the aim, to have a Steemit gathering each Saturday, somewhere in the world.

1st Steem Saturday event is finalized

These events were major successes and i would love to engage with people around the globe to see if we can reinitiate the initiative, but before we go there...

• Please let me know in the comments, what has changed, on the platform. Are we back on a good track?
• Is the platform revitalizing itself and is the community growing again.
• I would love to engage on the platform again more frequently.
• Do we know post in specific communities?
• Are posts only published specifically in the communities you are subscribed to?
• How do you specify in which communities to post?
• Just a general question - Are there still members around from the old days on Steemit?
• Why are there so many posts doing updates, contests on Steemit these?

I sincerely hope to make a few more friends around the globe. Please engage in the comment section below. I would love to understand the lay of the land these days.

Happy Steeming!
