Excellent feedback, thanks for sharing your experience.
Profile – A users need to go to the wallet to update their profile image and info. This is not very intuitive and not an obvious place to check.
When communities launch, the profile update feature is getting moved back to steemit.com, and removed from wallet.
Notifications – we need to be able to set the notification we receive.
This is planned for the future. In the meantime, which notifications are too spammy? If its votes, we can increase the notification threshold.
Posting - a number of people missed posting to the community as they selected posts to blog. This error is too easy to make, and I would suggest removing the option to post to the blog from within a community post.
Is there any way to make it more clear without changing this functionality? The main reason it exists is because there are some edge cases with drafts. It can be reworked later but is there a better wording that would make it more clear?
Posting – Admins should be able to set if who can post to the community. At the moment anyone can post, not just a subscriber.
We'll have new community types released shortly after launch.
Posting – It would be nice to have the ability to post to more than one community, or resteem to a different community.
Resteeming (or 'cross-posting') into a community is high on the list of future enhancements, but will not be available at launch.
Admin views – could you add a view for admin to show all comments (not level 1 posts) made on community posts.
Could you elaborate on this? Is the goal to see latest comments? Or trending comments?
Navigation – its hard to find your way back to communities once you go to someone's blog.
Back to a specific community? Or the steemit home page?
Navigation – The current tabs on a blog/profile are Blog, Posts, Replies, Notification. This is a little confusing as the term post can be a personal blog post or a community post. I propose this is changed to Blog Communities. Within both of these, you would then have posts, comments, replies, notifications.
Currently, 'Posts' refers to 'All' posts -- should this label be changed? We cannot currently split up these tabs into blog vs. community.
Stats – we need more stats.
Definitely; after launch we'll bring more stats to the UI.
Admin rights – allow admin/owner to set the owner account as a beneficiary on posts made to the community.
Community rewards are among next features to be added.
