Lots of specialist front ends (on a per community basis for example) is good XD catchall ones like hive.blog and peakd will just have to do what they can to be attractive.
Looks like you have to post from the community page on hive.blog. what a nuisance XD
Yes, you do and yes it is. Hence why I sometimes forget to post the HomeEdders curation in there. Easier to keep the account logged in on a separate front-end, though.
