I almost recruited a new user via Mastodon, but he got a nasty looking error message. According to @pfunk on Steemitchat this is an on-going issue due to the @steem account running out of Steem to allocate. Is there somewhere we can go to see the state of Steemit? Other sites have a status page to show what's broken. I know it's a small team, but this will be important if Steemit is to grow. I wasn't even sure which channel on the chat to check in.
I've said before that they need to work on the error messages. Most that I've seen will not mean much to most people.
I have to say my user experience on Steemit has been pretty good. The site has mostly worked fine and it's easy to navigate. I'm geekier than average, so others may struggle more.
Update: I see someone reported this on Github which is where I should have looked first. That's probably the best way to reach the developers. I hope it can be resolved soon.
