[Hivemind](https://github.com/steemit/hivemind) has a new version powering the Communities for a while. Since it was never landed into the `master` branch, I was hesitant to update my normal/old [Hivemind node](https://hivemind.emrebeyler.me/health). 

However, after seeing communities deployed to Condenser and Steempeak already, I've spun up a new server for the communities included version to increase the decentralization. (Steemit API is the only Hive instance supports communities, atm.)

# Node


```https://hivemind-communities.emrebeyler.me``` is accessible with the communities APIs. It's only a Hive node, that means you need a router in your beloved steem library, or create your requests yourself. It's pretty easy actually. Here is an example cURL call to get community details.

`curl -s --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"bridge.get_community", "params":{"name":"hive-139531","observer":"emrebeyler"}, "id":1}' https://hivemind-communities.emrebeyler.me`

All "bridge" api methods are documented at https://developers.steem.io/apidefinitions/#apidefinitions-bridge.

# Daily dumps

Daily snapshots of the database will be provided at https://hivemind-communities.emrebeyler.me/dumps/. Make sure to check the "state.txt" before downloading the dump. Compatible with PostgreSQL 10.6.

# SQL Users

If you have direct user access to my old Hive instance, your credentials will be migrated to the new server. I'll announce it once I find time to do that. :)

# Old instance (`hivemind.emrebeyler.me`)

The old instance will still continue for a while but it will be disbanded at some point. "hivemind-communities.emrebeyler.me" instance will promote to "hivemind.emrebeyler.me" in the future. I'll also announce that beforehand, of course.

# Vote for my witness

If you didn't vote for my witness already, consider casting a vote on [ Steemconnect](https://steemconnect.com/sign/account-witness-vote?witness=emrebeyler&approve=1) or on [Steemit](https://steemit.com/~witnesses).

# // Edit

Looks like I've posted this into the "Original MEMEs" community. It's not possible to fix it, so adding this good, old meme.
