It is connected to steem in this case, the posting gives a 500 error.

So if you know Utopian has an API (api.utopian.com), where all the updates are being done from there. So if the API is not able to connect it will throw 500 Internal Server Error and it is displayed as Not able to connect to Steem.

The error is on steem when you post faster than 5 minutes, it is not a connection error but an unhandled error on the backend.
