Starting a Community

in hive-153503 •  5 years ago 

I am seeing for the first time the option of creating communities at https://beta.steemit.com/ and I signed up for some in which I share interest.

I noticed that there was no dedication dedicated to Web Novels or their translations, so I took advantage of creating it. Now I see that in doing so I am appointed as administrator, in short, it's just a matter of experimenting :)

This was partly because in recent times I have been sharing a personal translation of a Chinese Web Novel, The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage, which I am updating almost daily and I link the links to an index page created in El renacimiento de la emperatriz maliciosa del linaje militar

Well, the synopsis I chose for the community was:
"A community to share Web Novels, both originals and translations."

I hope it is full of activity :) and we have a lot to share.

PS: My translation (which I refer to in this post) is in Spanish, excuse me not to let you know before, after all that is my native language.

Hi @pedrobrito2004

What's your impression about communities so far?

So far, from my very limited experience in the subject, it reminds me of what I saw with the start of the "Google Circles".

I hope it doesn't become a ghost town as the platform I refer to.

I still have a lot to learn, but I'm curious and I will see how this develops, for now I find it as a way to organize my Feed list and be able to filter the posts of my interest much faster, in that sense it also makes me Remember the "Facebook Groups".

Creating it was very simple, the payment of 3 Steem and a minimum configuration was all I needed to create one. I planned to make one for my academic content first, but I was careful to review the list and found that there was already one that was dedicated to educational resources at https://beta.steemit.com/trending/hive-122108

As I do not like the redundancy when it comes to content sites, because instead of creating my own I joined an existing one, and then I will have to see if the matter is organized further and create a specific community for publications dedicated to University Education and related.

So, as I was publishing some old translations that I had done a few years ago for a friend's son, because I created a community dedicated to the subject and left it open, on that subject I had not seen any, so there would be no redundancy. Since I am not very active to attract people, I do not think I have many participants for a while, if it becomes active I hope to pass the role of administrator to someone more qualified in the group.

I also comment that although the Beta.Steemit frontend is simple to operate and clear in its operation, I have taken some pleasure to the Steempeak interface, so I was looking for how to review the communities since the latter. I think I found a way that is not complicated and I planned to make a post about it ... I have not yet reviewed if someone else has already written it ... well, anyway, I think I will write it.

I'm curious that it was what did you find offensive @mmmmkkkk311 in this post? as to give a marked negative vote from your account and also from your mirror accounts:
@mk-pal-token
@mk-photo-token
@mk-sports-token
@mk-marlians-tkn
@mk-gg-token

It's quite annoying, it even attacks my posts in my native language. In that post I posted a comment asking for an explanation:

It is curious that this publication is in Spanish, so what could you consider @mmmmkkkk311 as something offensive being that your posts and interactions in comments are limited to English? As much as to give negative votes from your main account and also from your mirror accounts:
@mk-pal-token
@mk-photo-token
@mk-sports-token
@mk-marlians-tkn
@mk-gg-token
Is it some kind of cyberbullying?
Is it a predatory attitude against those with smaller wallets and weaker pockets?
If there is any rational explanation of: why do you negatively rate a post that is presumably not even read?

Dear @pedrobrito2004

I'm very curious how will communities impact Steemit. So far it does look a bit promising, however I see few major problems.

One of those problems is the fact, that user can post only in one community. So if I would like to publish something related to blockchain and how it's affecting world economy and I could post it in 4 different communities (example: economy / technology / blockchain / crypto) then I've a problem.

For community leaders it will be very challenging to bring people to post in their communities.

The other fact is that ... anyone can create community (it cost only 3steem) and anyone can post in any community without asking for permission / being invited to do so. Im afraid that it will create tons of mess and loads of spammy communities will start up.

I wonder if there is any way to "whitelist" users who would have an access to posting within community. So far I don't see it.

Yours
Piotr

I had not thought about the problem that can be published freely in any community simply by using the corresponding tag ... You are right that it would be good to control that a bit, because the potential for causing disorder is quite high.

I see that administrator and other roles can be assigned, but I don't see that that is associated with any kind of permissions, in other circumstances I would expect anyone to read the posts, but only the members could use the tag to post there, leaving to the administrators the possibility of submitting an internal vote of the group when it considers that one of the post deserves to be discussed to keep it in the community or remove the label.

I think that exceeds the current possibilities of the steem blockchain, but I would like to see something like that in the future.
