Steemit has been growing steadily over the past year with users from all over the world joining in and participating everyday on the platform. Steemit.Chat has been around since late July last year and has served as the choice of communication platform for most regular users of the platform.
Even as many discord instances for various groups and purposes have sprung up in the past year, Steemit.Chat continues forward steadily as the single biggest meeting point for users of Steemit. The biggest names and influencers of our platform use it regularly if not daily and every active member ultimately makes their way to it for networking with other users of our site.
The stats after 13 odd months looks like this:
- 27000 Users
- 643 Public Channels
- 450 Private Channels
- 5867833 Total Messages Sent/Received
Our busiest channel are General and Post Promotion with over 26000 members. We have several volunteer moderators on the platform rendering their services and ensuring continuity of the platform itself.
There are top curation guilds such as Project Curie using the platform and you can also talk to "@steemcleaners" on these public channels for discussions:
cheetah
nuke
steemcleaners-linkdrop
steemcleaners-public
steemitabuse
This is just a tip of the iceberg. Many users often ask for assistance in Help channel for their technical queries and issues regarding account signup and recovery. Thanks to @timcliff and others who assist users in this channel on a regular basis.
We've also suffered a fair amount of attacks from a Pakistani hacker Bilalhaider but we're still running strong and have managed to contain these issues as they surfaced.
A big thanks to @riverhead and @gandalf who keep the servers up and running while @pfunk assists me with user administration as a fellow admin. I also thank all the moderators on the biggest channels for volunteering their time.
I've been thinking of ways to streamline a few things such as channel creation, user support etc in addition to a cleanup that has been long due towards unused channels. I'll have another update in the near future to this effect along with other announcements. Stay tuned for the same.
Steemit.Chat is undoubtedly one of the most favored places for personal interaction and communication amongst Steemit users. With @riverhead's support we hope to keep the lights on as we continue to scale up!
With SteemFest coming up, you can head to the SteemFest channel for any queries related to Steemit's global conference.
@steemfest 2017 is just a month away and it is going to be packed with some of the coolest members of our community. @roelandp has put in a great effort towards organizing this incredible event and to support him Firepower Crew will be there as well.
You are welcome to buy the ticket for yourself or sponsor someone to visit SteemFest. Visit the official ticket website for ticket purchases.

Almost daily I manually go through introduction posts by new users looking for promising accounts. Part of the information I share with them is the steemit.chat details.
This issue just came up in another conversation, but Discord is directly linked to gaming. Many people work for companies that block gaming sites. The company I work for does, and I cannot use Discord here at work.
Steemit.chat works though, and I absolutely love it to network with friends and to better coordinate Steemit.com activity. It has made my experience way better, and I've met a ton of friends by using it too.
I cannot thank you and your staff enough for all the hard work to keep it running as a service for us users. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you find it very useful! :)
Absolutely. Useful? I love it! One day we'll hopefully see steemit.com integrate communities and chatting. In the mean time though, I cannot praise steemit.chat enough. New users and veterans both benefit greatly from being there. If you are not on it, you're not networking. This platform is all about making quality connections to quality people. Steemit.chat makes that much easier.
I haven't used Steemit.chat yet... Thanks @finnian for commenting on it. I'll have to check it out soon.
I will see you there! 8-)
I appreciate all of the hard work you guys have put into Steemit.chat! It makes communicating with individuals much easier and a lot more private! Streamlining the channel creation process would be a great thing!!
Yes. I'm working on that aspect too and hope to have that sorted out in the near future. :)
That is great news! Keep up the great work!
Without steemit.chat, networking on Steemit becomes more difficult. Thank you and thanks to all the others for your hard work. You're appreciated.
Thank you.
I was actually unaware of this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I shall log in, whenever I find my password... 😏
Same here. I actually was not aware of the service at all!
I'll definitely log in and see what it's all about.
Thanks for the share, OP. :)
You're most welcome. :)
Lol!

Every day is a new platform. Cool!)

Hello,
Can you connect your Steemit.chat account somehow with its steemit profile?
There is no direct integration between these two websites yet.
Oh shame.
I would welcome it.
Having a separate chat to be able to converse with members outside of post comments is imperative. Great job streamlining this!
On a side note, I SO wish I could attend SteemFest! grr! lol. But, on the bright side, I will absolutely be a proud attendee of SteemFest 2018 :) And I know you and others will provide unparalleled coverage!
Good post sir ......
Thank you.

Thanks for info
You're welcome.
I am quite the fan of the chat. Didn't @ned tease a sneak look at a built in chat that was in test at some point? It was a while ago. I am starting to think I imagined it.
Don't suppose you have some knowledge on that? :0)
We discussed the possibility of integration a year ago but we're going to continue as it is right now.
No worries, thanks for the response!
