Happy Bday Sid!
I'd say communities is a nice feature but should not be overused. You are right, maybe there are too many communities, yet I think it is great to have some decent community-topic structure. Especially if they thrive and really grow into their own little islands on the Hive chain.
Thank you, Roelandp.
It appears: content is curated only when you post in their community – which is also an issue, as it forces publishers to rely on a certain community.
Definitely need this:
That's why I don't use the communities. If I'm posting artwork, I want lots of people to see it, and maybe support my work... not post it so I can benefit from maybe one or two audience members with large votes. If it's not good enough to be supported outside of the community, then obviously it's not good enough to be supported inside.
People with less followers have to depend on communities.
Such a valuable thought.
My only hope is that we have enough non-community curators. I wish to experiment on this front.
