Hi @evernoticethat and thanks for sharing this with the community. I'm sure many of us find it interesting.
However, I think this post would fit better in the Education community as this is educational content.
Here's a guide I put together to help you learn about how communities work -> Communities Explained - Newbie Guide.
Once you posted your post in the right community, you can then cross post it to OCD community. Here's a guide about cross posting.
Please don't delete any post with the purpose of reposting it in another community as that can be considered abuse! Leave this post here, you'll get it right next time.
Happy blogging.
I didn't know the OCD community had changed, thanks for sharing this. I've been posting since the Steemit days back in 2017 and have published in OCD off and on without an issue until today. I like it as it is (or was?) a general content community specializing in original content, which is what I do, so something must have changed recently?
I just saw the Communities Explained post from last week, so this is new. You use PeakD, but I don't as they want your active key, so I've never used them. I'm a good Hiver, and whenever I post I use the Explore communities… link and was originally going to post it in HiveLearners, until I saw that they want you to register with Discord in order to do so.
Scrolling down that long list, I saw the "Loving Hive" community, but that was about marketing Hive, so not a good fit for this post which is about optimizing your posts. The "Writing Club" is more about short stories and general literature, not sprucing up your blog posts, so that didn't fit. What I was looking for was a "Blog" community, and was surprised that on the list of communities on Hive, there was none.
Scrolling all the way to the bottom of the communities list from "LeoFinance" at the top to "Discovery-it" at the bottom, there is no "Education" community listed. Maybe that's a PeakD thing? So when I published, I remembered that OCD specializes in original content, and since I like to share my posts in different communities and don't use OCD that often, published it there. I did try typing "education" in the search box just now, and it finally popped up, I don't know why it isn't on the list of communities. As you know search on Hive is incomplete, which is likely why I stopped trying to use it years ago.
UPDATE: I went to look for another community an hour os so later, and saw "education" listed a few rows below the last one shown earlier. It looks like the list can take a bit to fully load and didn't show up the first time.
However, "Education" looks to be geared for teachers with posts about "student injuries" "training students for learning" "vocabulary for kids" and so on. I have a feeling that if I posted this post there about improving your blog, they'd tell me it doesn't fit! :)
Your note is all the more surprising as I've used OCD (off and on) for five years and have never seen anything like this. last year I posted these two back-to-back in OCD with no problem: Thoughts on Life and Living and Variety is the Spice of Write
So I decided to take a look at your replies and saw that you're sharing this throughout many user blogs as part of a new inititive. I try to avoid friction on Hive wherever possible, and like I said had no idea that OCD had changed from a general purpose community to what its become now. Rather than try to anticipate whatever communities different mods might want us to post in (as that's subjective and might change from person to person, example: you say "education" but another might say "blog"), I'll just post in other general communites to completely avoid any and all friction now that I know OCD isn't one. Thank you so much! :)
