When you publish to stemgeeks you are publishing to the hive blockchain.
Reposting old articles will be seen as trying to double dip the pool.
I don't use it, but I bet that posting there also shows up on your blog.
It came along while folks still had hopes for blogging on hive.
Like most h-e 2nd layer ui's, it is mostly abandonware at this point.
That is likely to reverse were the price of hive to go back up.
Stem is a hive-engine second layer token and does add additional value to your post rewards.
Afaik, you get stem only through using their interface to post.
It works like most of the other h-e tokens and can be bought/sold through tribaldex.com.
You can see what h-e tokens you have in the peakd wallet by clicking the h-e option from the list on the left.
The concern I have is that only three of all of my 300-plus articles on my PEAKD channel appear on my StemGeek channel. If StemGeek hasn't duplicated the other articles outside those same three articles on my StemGeek channel, would I be able to do so myself? Or is it that whoever monitors that writing platform is very selective about what gets allowed on it?
It most likely has to do with your hashtags, certain hashtags get you published in certain h-e token communities.
Are those posts also in your blog feed?
The ui simply pulls from the blockchain and shows posts according to their rules.
IF your posts falls within those rules, it gets printed to their feed.
Like I said, it is mostly abandonware at this point, but at some point it could be used as a filter for their type of content.
Look at the hashtags and see if you can spot a pattern.
I do spot a pattern. StemGeeks has only published human-interest articles of mine from my PEAKD channel, whereas they have published none of my controversial articles from my PEAKD channel. There is a feature on my StemGeeks channel that allows me to post additional articles; but if it is not a good idea for me to post any article of mine there that I have already posted on my PEAKD channel, then I guess I should leave well enough alone.
Can you link me to the posts that they used?
Yes. The links to those three articles are:
https://stemgeeks.net/@epicenterdefacto/americans-need-to-fight-to-save-their-landlines
https://stemgeeks.net/@epicenterdefacto/psychics-are-not-demonic-and-the-bible-is-bogus
https://stemgeeks.net/@epicenterdefacto/shortcut-menus-can-really-be-annoying-and-harmful
Believe it or not, the article above also duplicated onto my StemGeeks channel on its own as well. Here is the link for that article:
https://stemgeeks.net/@epicenterdefacto/im-curious-about-the-stemgeeks-website-on-the-hive-blockchain
So, it appears that using the hashtags science and technology gets you posted on stemgeeks.
Which makes sense considering their topic, stem.
If you see value in acquiring more stem tokens, then you can post through their interface and earn more, iirc.
Your posts will still appear on your feed when posting through stemgeek's interface, so don't repeat them.
You will also earn stem tokens by powering them up and voting with them.
You can do this powering up in the peakd wallet.
So it is a restricted writing platform on the Hive blockchain that only allows for the publication of STEM-related articles.
