Not sure what you mean by tagging a community, tags are pretty much useless by now and just tagging a specific "community" such as the ones that add their ID in the tag won't actually get your post added onto the community, you have to post into it. Either by going to the community page and hitting the "new post" button or by already being subscribed to it and choosing it in the dropdown list when writing a post. I think we should try and use the word community to mean the community feature as it's quite a broad meaning in general when the one we want to talk about is kind of like a subreddit, unless we come up with a better word to rename it such as "subhive" and then call tags for tags and tribes for tribes. (I admit communities is not the best name, we seem to be good at naming things with many different and broad meanings; hive.)
I'd go as far as saying that tagging and posting into generic communities such as the ones you listed in the post or gems/ocd will get you even less engagement/views/possible curation than posting within communities of the appropriate niche/genre your post is about. You're more likely to be ignored/skipped as a newbie posting into those as many don't want to risk voting on someone who may be plagiarising, or you just get lost in the masses or the firehose effect.
Anyway, mainly wanted to correct you here:
When one sends out his or her own stuff, the HIVE portion goes to the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF).
This is only true if you upvote the comment yourself as it counts as selfvoting. If you share your own posts and others vote the comment up you still get the Hive and Posh rewards depending on how the tweet performed.
Thanks for the clarity on the POSH particulars. I get it now. So sharing your own content is still paid in HIVE and POSH if other upvote the comment. However, if you upvote it yourself, that goes to the DHF.
As for the communities, yeah I think we are crossing different ideas. I was referring more to the front end (tribes) if you will as opposed to the community feature on Hive.
Personally I like the name Sub-Hives. I think it makes sense, has a nice ring, and people understand it.
