Hi @stef1,
The working mechanism of SteemX is slightly different from Steemit. We do not rely directly on HiveMind, Instead we use the SDS API which is comparatively faster than the standard Steemit Condenser APIs. This helps in improving speed and response time even when other interfaces might be slow or partially unresponsive.

On the other hand, Steemit is deployed using multiple layers of infrastructure. Cloudflare, Backend Nodes (Jussi + Steemd), Hivemind and Condenser.

If any of these components especially Hivemind or API nodes face downtime, then Steemit stops responding.

Currently, 30 to 40 users use our SteemX Dapp daily due to its rich features. The user traffic will be increase it will fully developed.
