RE: We Have Some Cool Groups Supporting Steemit Members

in #groups7 years ago

We have done a ton of pruning. Still more to do yet in the beta.

  • The top navigation bar has everything new members would primarily need or find useful.
  • The footer navigation has mainly misc tools.
  • The left side bar is for reading user posts organized by categories
  • The right side bar gets you quickly back to the Social Portal.

Information overload is right. We built tons of things and found out what people used and liked. Some stuff is getting cut completely leaving other stuff will be searchable. It will allow for SEO but not clutter up the website and confuse people. We are beta and I promise it is being carefully dealt with. I'm and old school builder.

Auto Share https://steemthat.com/auto-share/ - - - Auto Share is where you need to go. The old @steemthat bot is part of the community curation specialist now. Members can use the Auto Share feature of SteemThat.com. This is the single greatest feature. It is similar to using $upvote but you do not have to leave Steemit to take advantage of it. As we grow these accounts all members will get stronger.

When Auto Share Is working as originally intended the Steemit posts are also part of a feed to the Auto Share page where the community can easily see the posts and upvote their friends fast without all of the clutter. Should be back up and running soon Steemit shut down the nodes that we used to feed this and the protocol used to grab this data. Working on a solution. Some other tools are affected also.

The Social Portal is where most of the action is. It is a community feed where members share general content. Groups are more for niche specific content and if you wish to immerse yourself around people with similar interests and tastes. You can share your steemit posts in various groups or the social portal feed. It is very much like Facebook and Twitter.

We could maybe get by with just the social portal and the blogging platform and bury almost everything else. I have identified the 3 things we want to accomplish and written a solid plan to get there. We are in the pruning phase of the beta. Cleaning up for an almost glitch free platform.

In phase 3 we will be cleaning up and rebuilding and integrating some higher level features(which is going on now). Phase 4 is being talked about being added and possibly moving a chunk of the website on to the blockchain. This would be after a Successful ICO as we would hire a full team and ramp up development. Possibly on Steem or Graphene.

Almost everything new has a learning curve and SteemThat.com is no different. I'm working on Building the Easy Steemit and Easy SteemThat pages to help get people started.

I still don't really get it! The autoshare feature is just for using the @steemthatshare tag, right? It isn't to get @steemthat to upvote me? Is there no longer a $0.03 fee ? I think there probably is right? But it doesn't say on that page how the bot vote works.
I transferred $0.03 to @steemthat just in case it's automated..
My post does not show up on autoshare so far

The auto share feature allows for all powered up community curation specialist to upvote your posts without the need to send anything. Just use the tag and you are already added to the bots list. The only time you will not get some upvotes from the Community curation specialists is when the bot is down or you don't use the tag or they have voted so much they are drained. @steemthat is now part of the Community Curation specialist no pay is required. Being a member get you essentially on auto pilot when you post. I do ask community members if they are board to support each other with upvotes, resteems and comments. The whole community is an added bonus. Some members are setting up auto voting on their own. We have a few guides about this too. If someone wanted they could private message me and we can handle their curation for them through the Community. I have been working on a steemconnect app that would let members opt in to this. Not ready yet. It will be a neat feature.
