Me too! It's the thing that will make sure we have more social and 'playing' opportunities on Steem - plus smaller communities will be good for retention, the more specific the community the better :-)

Yes, it is currently too crowded at Steemit (Trending and Hot), even with not more than 3K active users. Community function will give us more dedicated smaller groups and interests and will make postings on Steem more attractive for all kind of interests. Means, you don't need to see anything you are not interested anymore when we have communities~. Woot! Woot!

Exactly! I'm thinking about all those niche groups on Facebook that could come over here, and the subreddits with weirdly specific topics that seem to engage so many... It's way easier to onboard one community/100 people too instead of trying to appeal to 'the general masses'.

Anyway, good stuff ahead and as it doesn't require a HardFork we might see it in the not too distant future :-)
