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!
How to post in a community ? We need just to use a tag ?
After you join a community press:
You can also see it in the editor:
What about creating a community, is it working now ? Something went wrong when I tried and the steem wasn't sent.
It works fine with keychain.
I just tested it by making a new community:
https://beta.steemit.com/trending/hive-184438
It told me that was created but I didn't find it in the list. Should we post there something first to see it in this list : https://beta.steemit.com/communities ?
here is it : https://beta.steemit.com/trending/hive-177976 it was just created finally , but still don't see it in the community list
I am not sure what the criteria are to get on the list. My BBQ community is on the list but the test one I just created is not. Maybe the community must show some activity first.
Ok, let's see how it goes. Are there any fees to pay to get in that list ? Maybe you ask about that, or all that needed is the activity ?
I have an other problem, the community is not showing me the name and the discription. How to fix that ? Is there any support discord or something like that to ask ?
Good information. Thank you.

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?
Amazing News!
Oh this is cool... I forgot that steemit was closed beta
My first test post done:
https://beta.steemit.com/hive-107275/@ervin-lemark/join-running-community-on-beta-steemit-com
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.
