Dear @midlet

I'm afraid I do not share your optimism. At least not at the moment. Communities would only make sense (from users point of view) if they would allow them to get more visibilty and exposure (resulting with more comments and higher rewards).

Right now I don't see any real value that communities would bring to common users. Hopefully it will change somehow.

Also I'm worried about the fact, that one post can be published only in one community. Which means that if there will be 3 communities related to similar topics (which happens very often) then author will have to decide which community he want to "tag".

I'm seriously afraid, that after initial hype - communities will become forgotten. Almost like most tribes have been forgotten already. Time will tell. 

ps.
Don't you think that communities should cost more than just 0,3$ ? (3 steem). I sometimes wonder why is it so cheap (suggesting little value and it's encouraging to create tons of random communities, which we cannot ever remove since it's a blockchain).

ps. 2
I've created my own community and I've been trying to sign in to owner account (hive-175254) and I'm failing. Any idea how to do that? I presume that I need to sign in to this account to give admin rights to other accounts?

Yours, Piotr

They do. So you can think of it right now as you are a lone soldier fighting every other lone soldier for a spot on trending which more people will see. With Communities you now fight as a group to become a trending community. Or you can simply choose to post in a trending community for more visibility.

You can post in multiple communities by making multiple posts. Right now this is frowned upon and would clutter your blog, but in the future with the new interface you'll be able to choose which posts show up on your blog. So it wouldn't feel spammy to other users. I do hope that they add the functionality to resteem to another community though as it seems like that just makes more sense.

I think Communities costing 3 Steem does seem like a waste now, but I think it's future proofing. What about if Steem is worth $3 again? Then it costs $9 USD to make a community? That's a lot for a lot of the world already. If it were 10 or 100 Steem, sure, that's almost nothing right now, but this is crypto, and all this can change in the blink of an eye.

Not sure about your issue, I've been given the option to change roles in my community as the admin, no need to sign is as owner.

Communities cannot fade into irrelevance like tribes because they will fundamentally change the way Steem frontends work, it will change condenser which is what most of the other frontends are based on. Even if people don't go around making their own communities, they will still be using other peoples.

edit- Oh and one thing I forgot to address, it doesn't matter if we have a million empty communities as a community is basically just an account. We have tens of thousands of empty accounts already. They just won't be seen if they're not active.

Thanks for your prompt reply @midlet

> so you can think of it right now as you are a lone soldier fighting 

I like that comparison :)

> You can post in multiple communities by making multiple posts. 

So if I would like same publication to be in 3 different communities, then ... what would I really have to do? 

ps.
May I ask you for little favour? I'm not sure if I did ask you about it already or not (hope I'm not repeating myself). 

Could you please check out also my recent post if you have few min and share your thoughts on questions related to concept of "introducing steem blockchain to businesses":

Your feedback is always appreciated ;) And I will upvote most valuable comment with 100-200k SP coming from project.hope account.

Make your post in Community A, then make another post in Community B with the same content.

That's the way it is now. Not sure it they'll change this in the future because of the way communities work. ie each community has a community payout and if you resteemed into another community that might cause conflict with that functionality. So a completely new post may be the way it stays.

> Could you please check out also my recent post...

Yea, I'll check it out :)
