RE: Feeling sad today...where is the Steem community?!
Hey hey... Reality bites I guess.. The engagement is low is most likely of the low volume of active people participating in the steem communities. People would most likely engage only when it seems incentified to do it.. And that does not necessary meant for upvotes. I'd say just carry on doing what you love and also find new ways to engage.. I can imagine that its really tough for new users or new accounts to find any sort of engagement.

Thanks for the encouragement and yes I'll do this because I enjoy doing it and while Steem is still here, I'll be around. 😊
Yes it is tough for new accounts to build followers and find their community in this this platform. It is very different from other platforms, like Facebook where you search for your friends in real life and connect with them. They're not even here anymore, they find the platforms very complicated to use and I still felt the same way even after 2 years of being here on Steem.

Different Apps:
Are any of the Steem apps making it less complicated for new people here on Steemit? I think it can be hard if the different apps are separate from each other. I know how to run around the Internet. But I know that it is a skill that I have.
Busy.org vs Steemit.com
So, Busy is better than Steemit in some ways as a Steem app. But you are right that Steem may not have some of the Facebook features in finding friends. Perhaps, Steem app developers need to consider trying to build a Facebook Mirror like app for Steem.
Two Years
Yeah, two years and not enough improvement. Well, there are competitors to Steem like Weku, Serey, Smoke, etc. They're not apps of Steem but separate blockchain networks and if Steem doesn't always try to compete, then these competitors could beat Steem in attracting people. Well, currently, Minds.com and Gab.com have been growing and they can be simpler in some ways than Steem. So, I hope the Steem developers keep that in mind.
I don't really agree with Steem devs trying to be another #metoo app as Steem has its own uniqueness. Devs would need to build dapps which are in a league of its own to be on top. All the other "competitors" you've mentioned are a fork of steem and are not even close to the ecosystem that Steem has. I wonder what does EOS Voice has up its sleeves after announcing that Voice would not be on the EOS chain
yeah, there are forks of steem and that adds to the competition. but keep in mind that minds and gab are not direct forks of Steem
"People would most likely engage only when it seems incentified to do it."
I agree because that's what the platform promised to its users but after the forks and while the market still not recovering it'll be hard to upvote all comments without draining the rc

Do you know why they change the resource credit program?
