It's here; it's beneath the surface though. Right now Steemit is a very small community. I'd guesstimate we probably have about 2,000 'active human' users. It's a fairly tight-knit community. Within that group, there are a lot of different sub-communities doing different things. I've found my home mainly with the more technical crowd, but there are lots of other things going on too. Not sure what your interests are (photography, food, sports, science, Steemit..). Most of them though have a handful of dedicated people that are working on projects related to that. I think the core thing that ties most of us together though are we are all working to turn this place from a 'crude beta website' into something to hopefully rival the mainstream sites like Reddit, Medium, Facebook, etc. If that interests you, you will probably find a lot of friends here :)
