Steemit Beta is now open to everyone!
Before it was a closed BETA and password protected but that's gone now:
Go check out: https://beta.steemit.com and start or join a community!
Just be aware that whatever you post in a community will become a blog post on steemit.com (for now).
For example, I just made a post in my BBQ community:
Steemit.com (it appears as a blogpost) https://steemit.com/@exyle.test
Beta Steemit.com (It does not appear under my blog) https://beta.steemit.com/@exyle.test
Because of this, I expect a lot of extra 'short' blog posts appearing on steemit.com now that people can try out communities on the Beta site.
Just make sure you are aware of this and don't judge posts to harshly while people find their way with communities.
Have fun with the BETA!

COOL! I completely forgot about communities starting up 🤣 will check it later thanks! Have a great day mate
Awesome! Have fun with it later. And you have a great day too!
Fuck, thank for the reminder, aint had time to get online lately so next time I will see it
I just got around to getting on the laptop and it asked me for a pw to get onto the beta, is it down again for a bit?
I will probably hold off until they have things fully running. It is surprising that people are not more understanding about different content showing up on your feed. They can get really bent out of shape sometimes though! You might even lose a follower or two :) It is going to be pretty awesome when things are rolled out completely.
When this goes live, none of that will be a problem anymore!
Good information. Thank you.

That is nice @exyle we need more communities that uses steem so that it might support our platform and of course the price of steem. :D
Communities should increase engagement on Steemit a lot. I can't wait for it to go live.
I believe ultimately developers and investors will want to go to the place where the 'real' people are. They are on Steem. Combine that with a STEEM token that will be much harder to earn moving forward and you have powder keg city waiting to happen.
And in the meantime, just have fun. It's what I do.
Amazing News!
Oh this is cool... I forgot that steemit was closed beta
My first test post done:

Looking good :)
Thank you! The guys at @threespeek had created a community and put me in it as admin but until now there didn't seem to be anything I could do with that. Now I can use it. This is starting to look like it has huge potential. Very exciting.
Thanks for the info, checking it out.
I was at SF and have been reading up about communities. Maybe I'm just really slow and can't get my head around a few things.
I guess if you're in a community, its going to be easier to link up with like minded people whom you may not be following and read posts that interest you. But posting in coummunties, and not on the wider Steem blockchain surely would restrict your potential payout? Or am I missing something?
