To aid this initiative in this post I will give an overview of where the Steemit activity is happening on Reddit at the moment.
r/steemit
The main subreddit related to the Steemit community is found here, it is not very active (compared to other subreddits) which is no surprise considering all the alternatives for people to discuss Steemit related topics, but as a major social media outlet and a place where people may first come before trying out Steemit, activity here is worth monitoring.
First Impressions count. This may be where some people first interact with the Steemit community.
Activity
Posts Per Day
In this graphic we show the number of posts per day to the subreddit and the colour indicates the number of comments per day.
- The activity levels for number of posts are half of what they were back in January but the number of comments are at similar levels. It will be interesting to see hows the contest will increase activity here.
