Hello @modernzorker
For me it was the other way round. Could not create a community account with steempeak but steemit worked for that.
Usually I always use steempeak in connection with steemconnect and it works fine. Since I don't use Chrome and Keychain it's not possible for me to create accounts with steempeak e.g. but steemworld.org works great. All wallet issues including [un]delegation you can handle with steemworld too.
Good to read that most issues could be solved in the meantime... @retinox
