Are you using the beta site?
If you are not, I highly recommend you check it out at https://beta.steemit.com. The beta site enables Hivemind communities and a few other new features.
Check out my video post on How to use the Communities Beta
Have you made a community?
If so, be sure to use the Community Announcement Community to let everyone know about your new community. If everyone uses this community we will have much better awareness of new communities launching.
What do you think of the new communities beta?
Share your feedback in the comment section what you think of the new community features. Even better, make a post with even more detailed feedback and make a post in the Community Feedback Community.
If you haven't noticed, I am a big fan of the new communities features and I believe they will improve engagement and communication but we need users creating and engaging in communities.
If you haven't made a community yet, make it a goal to come up with a good idea for a new community by the end of the year.
