Vlog #58: Communities are already here, they are just invisible.

I was struck by this simple thought today.

When communities come to the Steem Blockchain it will be easier for new users to find a place where they feel at home much faster.

But even without this feature, it's clear that communities already exist on Steemit.

People are finding each other inside the blockchain through posts and replies fairly organically.

A prime example for me is my friend Hive account@eqko who is relatively new (6 weeks) to the platform but has already found his way to the (pixel) art community. I sure didn't tell him about this. I didn't even know that community existed. But it was there all along.

And he found it by just being active on the platform and finding his way exploring the blockchain. I think that's a beautiful thing.

From a business perspective, it's probably not the best way to draw in the masses. But I do think there is a certain charm to it.

It kinda reminds me of the time when video games made you figure out stuff for yourself instead of starting with 'Press A to jump".
