Because I feel like a newbie even though I've been on Steemit for years, am posting this in this community. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on my questions.
Seems like Steemit is definitely not like how it used to be. You can't just post in certain communities to be qualified to join contests or get upvoted, you have to be verified or be part of a club and such. No explanation on how to be part of such clubs too. Lol let's complicate life some more shall we? 😂 If you have some links to such posts feel free to share.
Anyway are there still any "free" or non-exclusive community affiliated curators now like OCD and Curie before? I am also not seeing any new how-to guides. I've already checked the newbie guide and FAQ and it's the same as before. The search bar/function of Steemit is useless. Results showing up are as old as 2 yrs ago and no latest articles. Summady fix Steemit pls.
Where to contact Steemit support outside of Discord (if any) or is there even such a thing? Telegram group seems to be useless before so I left the group, or maybe I was not in the right Steemit TG group, summady send me a link to the right one pls...
And lastly, what happened to Steem Engine?
How can I access my tokens now? Since when has it been like this? Will it be fixed and available to use again soon or no? Should I just forget I have tokens or what? 🤔
I'd like to be active again here in Steemit but can't seem to find answers to my questions so I wrote this. Feel free to let me know the answers if you can. You'll have my thanks. 😉
XOXO,

A bit of a late reply and yes, I'm sure that things are very different now than before the Hive fork.
I wasn't around in the olden days but I can answer most of your questions... at least I'll try to. I might get some things wrong but if you hang around for a while, somebody's sure to correct me at some point.
A lot of the users on Steemit now base their activity around the curation accounts - steemcurator01 and steemcurator02. Occasionally, they'll provide a few tips (or make an innocent comment which is taken literally) to increase your chance of receiving an upvote - I think this is how OCD works but I've never really used Hive or been here long enough to know.
I'll get to the point... because sc01 and sc02 are run by the Steemit team, they prefer users who power up. So "clubs" appeared where you're in club5050 if you power up at least 50% of what you earn, club75 if you power up at least 75% and club100 if you always power up everything. These come with associated hashtags if you want to be explicit (although I've never been a fan of wasting a hashtag in this way). I created a tool to help you check if you're interested - http://steemit.lovestoblog.com/clubstatus.php?author=artgirl
Linked to this, is #steemexclusive. Whilst you can still get decent votes if you share your content on Hive or Blurt (for example), you'll do much better if your content is exclusive to Steemit. This also increases your chances of booming votes (worth about $5-$6) within a community and sc04-09 votes through other community members.
And voting bot delegations (upvu, etc.) are pretty much a no-go too if you want this kind of support.
I hope I'm not making this sound complicated. It's not really.
As for the verification, Steemit's had a lot of "problems" with users creating multiple accounts in the hope of farming the Newcomers' Community and Crypto Academy. Similarly the challenges and contests that communities run. Because of this, a lot of communities insist upon getting verified which you'll never catch me doing because I like my anonymity.
As for Steem Engine, I think it stopped running because it got hacked (although no funds were stolen). I think somebody in the Korean community is working on it to get any funds in it available but I really don't know because I've never used it so don't really care 🙂
I hope this helps. I'm a moderator in World of Xpilar where I've seen your Spanish post - I'll reply to that separately and probably with more brevity. That's a good example of a post that I'd like to nominate for booming support but can't because it's not steemexclusive.

By the way, would you know why my SP does not change even when I power up? If this is a permanent glitch then I won't be powering up anymore and will never get into any of those clubs you explained.
