Sorry, I was trying to share to communities. I want to share my content to relevant communities. Do I have to just choose one community? Or is it okay to share to communities?
Please don't tell the Hivewatchers, I just don't fully understand communities yet, and don't want to have to make a choice of one over other relevant communities.
If posting multiple times to share to communities is wrong, let me know. I know we don't have any sort of share/cross-post feature yet, and it does feel like spamming, which I don't want to do, but I do want to build communities and be a part of some.
Go with your gut feeling; What feels like spamming, is most likely spamming :) Spamming at social networks where money is not involved, is already annoying. Spamming at social networks where money IS involved is not only annoying but it is stealing money in the end and many curators don't like that; Also hivewatchers not.
I'm not saying you can't re-use some content, but the majority of a post shall be unique in one way or the other, otherwise its gonna be spamming quickly. Publishing at 3Speak, I think it is then not possible to add a community other than whatever 3Speak pushed the content into.
My suggestion would be to share you YouTube so you have freedom in selecting the right community. Its not that I'm the MOD of one of the music communities that I advise you to look at this community: https://hive.blog/trending/hive-193816 its a music community in the making, more or less music across the board.
Of course you can explore other communities as well, and I invite you to do so. But I would suggest to always create unique posts for each publication in whatever community you do this.
Seems a bit bullshit from an artists perspective. If I am putting on some works and looking for an audience, or want to share digital works, I usually post to multiple groups/pages, for example, on Facebook.
The inability to crosspost, or share posts to different communities make them seem, like they are going to be about milking upvotes, and whichever communities has the most upvotes, will become stronger and attract more people due to the votes, and inevitably become the reigning community, due to voting power alone, and not community.
Hopefully more functionality will be added, like how you can rebog your posts from communities onto your blog, perhaps we will be able to repost the same post onto communities without having to resort to multiple of the same posts.
Perfectly fine in services that do not directly reward posts.
Absolutely agree, I think you have a good point here. Also I would love to be able to crosspost in a way the post itself is not copied, ie same post in multiple communities, like how the tags works. I'm a bit astonished those who designed communities didn't think of all of this when defining the features it needs. That said, sometimes I'm quite astonished what happens around the tech on HIVE anyway. Most of it seems to be more hobby rather than professional, whilst every single day the chain makes a lot of funds available for distribution which requires careful implementation of features and definitely requires professional approach to everything.
Yes indeed, we see this happening already. Something I predicted even before community features was alive. Some of the big communities with curators, changed from curating the chain, to curating their own community. Some of them now saying they change their curation to smaller communities and not their own anymore. Others do something similar. But this doesnt matter too much, most of the posts goes into the communities with the most rewards on the clock; Even when a user doesnt get a large vote over and over again. This is not how it should be imho, a major flaw in community implementation. Again this seems to be more an hobby-approach then a professional-approach.
