Results of HivePosh Contest #86

in HivePosh2 months ago

Reddit has imposed certain restrictions on its API, so, for now, Redditposh is in limbo while we are waiting for the situation to clear up.

As for HivePosh Contest, it might be continued, canceled, or replaced with another Hive promo competition. We'll know soon.

Thank you for your patience, dear HivePoshers!

Share Hive links with Reddit link-type posts (mobile - desktop) - only this type of shares is eligible for the contest. Read the rules (below) - there are other requirements for shares for this contest. To enter the contest, publish stats of your 5 best shares in the comments section. By saying "stats", I mean this type of screenshot:

Users who generated the most views win prizes:

300 HP delegation + 70 $HIVE for 🥇
200 HP delegation + 50 $HIVE for 🥈
100 HP delegation + 40 $HIVE for 🥉
50 HP delegation + 25 $HIVE for 4️⃣
50 HP delegation + 25 $HIVE for 5️⃣
20 $HIVE for 6️⃣
20 $HIVE for 7️⃣

The delegations will last as long as the contest goes on and as long as you keep sharing links on Reddit; they can stack, and previous winners can increase their delegations. Read the rules below and ask me anything in the comments section!

The Results of Contest #86

The Podium

It's autumn in the HivePosh arena, withered leaves and pieces of rotten dragon paws scattered along its edges, and rain is pouring down; the arena is damp and empty...

We had only two participants this week: a xenomorph 👾 @theworldaroundme and a dragon 🐉 @x-rain. 🥇 Three shares with a nice total 114.5K Reddit views brought another well-deserved gold to Mariah 🎉🎉🥂 Her share in r/atheism is on the first line in this week's chart:

@theworldaroundme's share in r/pshychology is the second-biggest this week:

And the third-largest share was made in r/90movies by Mariah as well:

🥈 A single share in r/ukpolitics (6.5K Reddit views) wins silver to yours truly @x-rain. 🎉🥂

The Full Ranking

@theworldaroundme 8.5 + 71 + 35 = 114.5K -> 300 HP + 70 $HIVE 🥇
@x-rain 6.5 = 6.5K -> 200 HP + 50 $HIVE 🥈

@davideownzall and @theworldaroundme will additionally get 2% of a future Hiveposh Contest post's rewards - if the contest will continued.

As for this post's beneficiaries, adding @davideownzall and @theworldaroundme for being top 5 of hiveposh-contest-84.

Thank you for being part of HivePosh! 😀

Looking forward to seeing your shares for HivePosh contest #87 (?) in the comments section below strictly no later than 13:00 UTC on June 25, 2026.

In order to generate maximum views, don't hesitate to post your best shares on the last day (until 13:00 UTC). The only requirement is that every share must be no older than 11 days (as stated in the rules). If you aren't sure exactly when "13:00 UTC" is in your city/country, ask AI.

@theworldaroundme, @davideownzall, @tsnaks, @uwelang, @blkchn, @cryptoreforma - there is uncertainty around the HivePosh contest because of the technical obsticle related to the Redditposh bot, but I have no instructions to change the status of the contest, so I will continue - waiting for your entries if you have shares. I have one (if they won't delete) and I know @theworldaroundme does.

I tagged people who might have shares, but, of course, everyone with link-post shares is welcome.

I will try today

How did you get on dear @uwelang?

no success - but also hardly time for anything outside job

No worries. Which sub did you try? Just curious. Thanks.

Yup, thanks for reminding us yes, I will enter them. Just going to try to do another one tonight. Let's keep the hive ecosystem moving guys, as this activity is relevant and should be supported. Just follow Reddit rules and you will be ok!

My only share was removed :(

It’s a tough sub and they’re very picky anyway.

In terms of reaching a wider audience with Hive content, we, as Hive users, create diverse content in the fields of travel and photography, urban exploration, history, culture, and nature. Similar communities appear scattered on Reddit. So why not have a community called HiveWanderers (other names are also possible)? We could create one ourselves. The purpose of the community could be to share Hive users' travel writings, photos, architectural explorations, historical sites, and nature experiences under one roof. This would allow us to direct users to Hive posts and contribute to more people discovering Hive content. I think the HiveWanderers community could become a popular community where everyone can easily share, and Hive users can freely share the stories and photos they create.

The idea is nice but I think Reddit would likely flag or ban it fairly quickly, lol. because of the linking. And probably wouldn’t be enough for promoting Hive effectively on its own as it will not generate much visibility, people engage in Reddit with the post in front of them.

The idea is good, but a subreddit with only/mostly Hive shares will be considered promotional, and won't grow / maybe get banned.

To build a big travel subreddit, you first need to post images without Hive links for several months. And even after that, you can't often post Hive link as your subscribers will see "okay, this subreddit only serves as a marketing tool for PeakD and Ecency" and will leave.

Such a big subreddit can be beneficial for Hive in other ways but... it's much work to do, and it requires cooperation between Hivers, and nobody will pay you for that.

Thank you @x-rain and everyone. I am actually feeling a bit lonely and dreading Reddit at the moment, but we’ve got to test the waters so we can find out and possibly develop a good strategy.

So... are we sharing without the RedditPosh comment? Do you still see the stats?

If you see an opportunity to share a Hive link on Reddit, do it, of course.

We are having this tech obstacle now, but we aren't going to abandon Reddit - I love this social media, and I am not alone in this. I will keep sharing but only something very well-written or [OC] photos.

If you have a good share, post in HivePosh.Snaps

  • the share's stats (a screenshot)
  • a Reddit link to the share
  • and add a tag #posh (not sure it still works, but there is no harm in adding it)

It might be that we'll use this channel for Reddit shares (maybe! the discussion is still in progress). I can't guarantee any upvotes in HivePosh.Snaps though - HivePosh needs time to digest things.

Alright, I’m going to try, but carefully.

I don't get this @x-rain. Does this mean publishing a post? I thought there was a Snap container. Lol

Sorry, I don't understand this screenshot. Is this Ecency? Can you post a snap from Ecency?

Probably, it's better to use Peakd for that. Here: https://peakd.com/c/hive-197333/snaps

Aha, Ecency doesn't have Snap. That was the confusion. Thank you! 🙂

Did not work

I only shared three this week, as I was testing the waters slowly. One is still ongoing, so I’m just entering these two. Many thanks! 👍

By the way, my posting format is back to normal. That was weird, as I was restricted to link sharing only and couldn’t share images via PC.
