Good to see you on here Gary! Great write-up and introduction! I always appreciate your honesty.
For your posts be sure to find a community that suits your content. So first go and follow a few communities - then when you make a new post if you're using Peakd.com at the top you can select where you post your content - Where it says, 'Write a new post in' 'Blog' [down arrow] - click on the down arrow and select one of the communities you are following to post directly in that community. You can simultaneously post it in your blog - otherwise it will still come up in the 'All posts' tab in your blog.
Be sure to only post relevant content for that community or it may be muted - and be sure never to double post if you feel your content was not posted, best to double check first. Double posting is different to 'cross-posting' yet I'm yet to realise the true value of 'cross-posting'. To be sure, there are communities that allow a range of different types of posts like GEMS and OCD or Abundance Tribe. Then there are a lot of music specific ones.
Remember that soundcloud links automatically create smart embeds, youtube links as well - and if you're interested in getting away from centralized censorship monster youtube - start using 3speak.online which is a video platform that is part of the hive blockchain.
Anyways, happy blogging!
Hey Monti,
Thanks for the tips. This is a good beginning and I can navigate better as well as post more cunningly.
Yes I am definitely looking to move away from FB, YT and Google. I am on the cusp and in the process. Just browsing here and watching 3speak videos I get the feeling there is much less of a weight attached. There could be a refresh button coming in my life in this regard and a new start on sites that have credibility and integrity.
Hope you are well and taking care.
Gary
Cool man! Once again, great to see you on here - I'm sure you'll find your native crowd on Hive.
