Very well said! I find not only the feeds lacking, but the curation projects too. I mainly scroll the recent feed(how I found this post) and do so often without finding a thing to add a vote too or even worth a comment. Imagine that? 🤔😁
Anyway, glad to see you still going strong. I think I noticed your likeness on Uptrennd, which unfortunately failed? It never tickled my interest really, but I don't create much these days anyway.
But please, please, please you talented creators, create more, cuz the feeds are lame, really really lame. You can ask to be removed from a users autovoter too. It happens, I've done it. While the votes are nice, the interaction it erases isn't.
hi you hehehe long time, no see.
I was on Uptrennd haha I was Tiger Lily there. That platform failed miserably after a very sad demise. and I lost a lot of time and money and energy - and it was terrible.
HOWEVER, what i FOUND was priceless. People that left there and are here now - and so close - so dedicated - so loving - so creative - so.... hahahaha
I had a great time in the beginning there- it was SO much fun in the beginning!!! But it didn't take long for the system to fail because it allowed for spam to thrive, scammers to multiply - and no one was doing anything to stop it.
but back to your comment hehe
As far as feeds, I rarely follow them. I go to the blogs that I know are GREAT, and then when I find someone in THEIR comment section that is new and commenting genuinely - and I check them out and follow them if they are consistent. I kinda build my own feed. hahaha
And because people usually know what I love - they tag me when THEY find someone awesome and I find more people that way.
It takes time to pour into people and help them develop. There are a lot of baby bloggers here that are GOOD but are green, and just need help. They just do. hahaha and that honestly takes time. and when they don't get support - they feel very defeated and leave.
but - what can you do? you know? I love Hive, so I find little ways to help and support and I just hope that if I can't make a difference to the big picture, I can make a difference in a lot of little pictures. :)
nice to see you by the way! hehee
I've found some I like, but when I follow them they fill my feed with the reblogs of others or rarely post, so I stopped.
That was you then. I see you've jumped on the POB bandwagon. I don't think their tweaks are the answer, but I'm going to keep my eye on the project.
I've been thinking about picking back up creating, but just can't find the motivation. I have a tonne of content when/if I do though. Maybe when winter gets a bit crazy I will.
Glad to see you are doing well.
the only bandwagon I'm on is DreemPort. hahaha
I support other things too - but bandwagon belongs to my own vision ;)
yeah - as far as your content creation - you will do it when it feels right. No need to force anything. If you have no motivation now - the timing isn't right :)
I'm doing very well! had a very interesting year. 2021 was more difficult than 2020 for me. but 2022 is my jam. heheheh i just know it ;)
oh - and my autovoters... we do interact on each other's posts. but we are trying to support so many people that we understand it can't be every post that we read and comment.
If i did that - I'd probably only be able to support 10 people realistically.
So it's kinda like... we want to help one another grow - so that we can build our HP and use that to help more people like us (all levels). we view the vote as a daily thing. and we know that a chat and comment is more like a weekly thing.
some people don't like autovotes - cuz it diminishes their engagement.
I autovote people all the time - and I'm usually in the top 5 of engagement on Hive weekly hahahaha (I actually reached #1 a month ago woooot - first time ever haha)
I guess it's just knowing what you're comfortable with - and then thriving in those parameters :)
