RE: So What’s The Criteria For A Quality Post? - How Curators Make Their Selections...

in OCD • 3 years ago

Hello @freedomprepper! First let me say welcome to Hive! 👋🏽

Yes, I check and try to respond to all comments even if it's left on a post from five years ago ;)

are there differences between normal users/writers and curators

There are content creators (your writers) and curators. Anyone who upvotes posts and/or shares and promotes them are considered curators, so a content creator can also be a curator as in my case for example. Some curate on their own by reading posts and upvoting them manually. Others join curation trails where they follow a curator they trust (trusting their judgment of a quality post) which enables their account to upvote what that curator upvotes automatically (you can set up details on how often and what percentage of vote you want to do). Then there are curation groups like OCD which I speak about in this post where a group of curators collectively work together on manual curation.

I hope that answers your question and I gave you what you were looking for. Please let me know if you need further explanation on that.

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment of my publication. I will be honest with you and tell you joining this platform was a learning curve for most of us. It took several months of reading and learning before I felt comfortable enough to call this my home.

Things are being set in place to help with this problem. Those who have been here and know how it feels to be a newbie are working together to make learning and surfing the platform much easier. One of those initiatives is the @newbies-guide. We are putting different collections together on specific topics for you to read. I hope you find it helpful :)

Thank you for taking the time to read and reach out with your questions. We’re here to help ;)

Hi @crosheille,
yes, that was exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you :o).
Than I can call myself a curator as well, because voting on articles I like, was the first thing I did here on Hive until I had no RC left (and then I had to go on a scavenger hunt to look up RC 😀).

After your reply I am more hyped than ever to contribute to an awesome ecosystem, which I hope will grow exponentially in the coming years. The onboarding issues as you said will be a thing in the past and then I will be a veteran to help newbies.

Thank you again for the time, you took to reply in such details. I very much appreciate it.
Have a nice day. I look forward to your next post.

Okay great! Glad I could clarify that for you.

That’s exactly right, you are a curator!

That’s awesome you are hyped about Hive and the journey ahead. I am hoping the same.

I am not sure if you’ve ran into him yet but another Hivizen who is fairly new himself has took the initiative to help other newbies have a smoother start by creating very easy to understand informative content all about Hive. His Hive handle is @ryzeonline. I think you will find several of his posts quite helpful.

Oh it’s really a pleasure. I love being of help to others when I can. You enjoy your day/evening and take care ~

I’ll be following you to check out your prepping posts as this is something my family is interested in ;)

Oh and a tip I wanted to leave you was when you have the time, explore some communities that you are interested in. You’ll find a lot of like minded/interested people in the communities that fit your niche. You most likely will receive more support and feedback because the people there will already be interested in what you’re sharing.

I usually share my garden posts in the NaturalMedicine community. There is also the Amazing Nature community too!

Aw, so much love in this comment thread , @crosheille , you're a bright light! I do what I can to help newcomers #ryze up, so I hope @freedomprepper gets some value from my posts. Wishing you both a great day! 🙏
