yes i would like to see more casual posting and I remember @inertia once talking about how your steem blog should be seen as a "firehose"of data, a raw feed, while different front ends like Dtube or Dmania providing the sort of filtering etc (That is, until communities/hivemind comes out then that will do the filtering)
Wil the new subreddit hivemind system be just like reddit? And will the new front page just become its own subreddit or substeemit/community just called "trending" or "frontpage" like on reddit (or is it reddit.com ?) because reddit ALSO started out without subreddits then subreddits were added, and the front page of rteddit now just shows you a collection of top posts from many of their popular subreddits including some way to allow popular posts from obscure subreddits to trickle down or up? onto the front page...
I feel like with enough communities on steem we could end up with a BEAUTIFUL new trending page where if you want to actually buy an upvote, you still have to PICK a community to post, just like on reddit, or just have it posted ON the steemit.com front page community which will be the i guess "default" one while "steemit" will just be a community about steemit itself I suppose....
I am just wondering how the future of steemit will look like after hivemind/communities and I just am excited about how much like reddit it can allow us to become and in my mind, becoming like reddit just means having more highly engaged users for a wide variety of topics and a huge overflowing wealth of daily content in so many topics that we should never be able to read it all.. i want steemit to have so much interesting stuif just like reddit and I just know we will eventually figure it out, and get the GUI looking so good that reddit users cant resists trying out steemit!
