the communities use the hive naming so that multiple communities on similar topics can exist. They are currently in beta.. so not in finished form. Hopefully once they are fully released the current hive naming will resolve to the community name.
If you are going to post to a community, you're best to post into the community itself.
@shadowspub Dies that make sense? Someone starts a community/hive, pays for it and others take the free list and do nearly the same? It means it makes it difficult again for a community to give upvotes to its members 🤔
I hope to see the benefit once finished.
Thank you for explaining and your vote. ❤️
what free list? Every community will cost 3 Steem. If multiple people start a community around the same topic, like anything else in life, each will need to distinguish itself to draw an audience. It will not be difficult to give upvotes at all. You look at the posts to the community and upvote them. I check mine every day and am quite enjoying being able to sort who is posting based on community rules and who isn't.

@shadowspub This is not what I mean.
Example one the link "freewrite". Everyone can use it not only those who join @ mariannewest with her daily prompt. She started a community, paid. Now the other freewriters come (those who use the tag too but not join her) and start using the tag too.
Why should @ mariannewest give them an upvote?
Example two: the community CVC. Why should they upvote those who think ccc stands for the tribe creativecoin?
This is what I mean by one person pays for the community, the rest uses the tag and are there for free... The community/hive will be messy again and again there is no profit of it.
in your example the posts that go into the freewrite community which are not using the freewrite prompts can be muted so they don't appear. When people post using the freewrite tag.. it can be anything and there is nothing can be done.
So the communities will create more curated listings than the tags are able to do. I don't see the downside of that.

@shadowspub How can it be muted if they do not use the right hive? I check that out if beta is willing to load again. Thanks 💕
if they post in a community where it doesn't belong the admin / moderator can mute the post so it doesn't show in the community
@shadowspub Thank you for explaining. I appreciate it. 💕
