This is one of the areas Steemit Inc really really needs to work on @steemitblog should have made an announcement. Your post is 23 hours old as I post this, yet still no post almost a full day later from @steemitblog.
They have over the course of the last six months pinned post of little use to the average person, for as much as they have been talking about and pinning high hopes on, you would think there would have been some sort of announcement that the SMT communities pages are now enabled. Or did they only send the we are live post out on their facebook and twitter accounts and ignore the steemit users?
I know there are a lot of other front ends, I started on steemit, and that is what I still use for the majority of my activity on the steem block chain. Communications from steemit inc via their @steemitblog account is still seriously lacking. thank you for the heads up.
Letting users in slowly might be best for the developers to monitor how things are working?
The closed beta was good for that,now the gates are open I still feel they should have made an announcement. Communities, and SMT's have been a big part of the push and build in 2019, you would think they would want to let people know it is now available for all to test, not just a few.
Thanks for joining my community! I'm still trying to figure out how it is all going to work!
I am hoping someone will come out with a how to guide soon. I joined a few communities, and will take some time soon to delve more into them and learn what I can from a user point of view. We are expecting a new weather system this weekend, so will have time to play and look around it then.
I am not certain what to do with the wallet for the hive. Should I delegate to it? Those kind of questions. Maybe it will all fall into place when we get SMTs.
Do you have any daylight left? I don't mind the snow as much as I do the darkness.
Yes sunrise is just after 9 AM, and sunset today just after 4 PM. I think our shortest day is about 5 and a half hours of official daylight, but I am not sure.
Just looked it up, on 12-21-2019 sunrise 10:11 AM and sunset 3:56 PM. so I guess close to 6 hours.
Our days are noticably shorter, too. Ours is 7:13 am to 4:22 pm tomorrow. Your days are much shorter than ours!
