Because my blog and the community - any community - are two different places, like your house and the supermarket might be.

Now I get why I have my blog and my posts and finally understood why not all of my posts are shown on my blog. Still tricky. I was wondering why I can resteem my own posts, but now it makes sense. I guess I will have to resteem the ones that are posted in communities to have them on my blog as well. We wanted communities...now we have them.

Yeah I have not heard many positives regarding the whole cross posting thing today... have not tried it myself though.

@jaynie, there will always be haters, and I reckon there's a lot to be said that I'll add in another post later. I do think I'm not upvoting any crossposts unless they come from community leaders, for reasons I'll explain. As community leaders, I think we have a big role to play in this. We should chat.

Yes. I think I know where you are coming from on that standpoint.

This is something I will have to look at. Esteem has none of these updates.

Crossposting....sounds interesting

I have stopped using Esteem - will be interesting to see how other front ends, dapps and yes, mobile apps, modify their UI to suit the new Steeempeak>Steemit features that are pretty cool. xx Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for continuing to clarify all these changes! Lots of good stuff, but definitely gets a little confusing at first. I haven't posted or been on much in the last week, but hoping the week ahead I'll finally have some time to catch up and play around. :)

It's super simple once you know how. I like to help, and I know people are asking a lot of questions, so I wanted to make it simple.

I'm thrilled that Communities are finally up and live! They have been promised for so long, so that's great to see.

I'm getting used to the new interface; but overall it's a pretty nice gig. The cross-posting thing has the potential to become a horrible nightmare of clutter... not because of anything WE do, but because the greater community is FILLED with what I call "Fractional Penny Miners" whose only concern is to extract every possible 0.001 Steem by whatever means and trickery possible. Which can become a mess of cross-posting the same generic post to 20 communities.

I've seen something like that happen on other "rewards for content" sites where the interface allowed it... I just hope it doesn't happen here.

I totally agree - I actually posted this early by accident, but I'd added a whole addendum to this post I wanted to share. Actually, @tarazkp wrote brilliantly on this today. I'll still post about it I think.

hehhehe I was just writing about this as well because it is SO much that is still kind of a mystery to me. I have jst used the resteem function and that works good. You would say that Steempeak is your go-to place? I always liked busy because of the interface but they are lacking these communty functions..

You explanation is actually really good on it...letting it sink in.....

I have totally forgotten about Busy. Steempeak is the love of my life.

This clears up a lot of confusion I have been having.

Still swirling my head around how communities work. Many unanswered questions since they have been released. For one, how does something you post in a tribe get automatically added to a community like you mentioned?

I was thinking about building a community, but wasn't sure what happens if others want to own the same community, or if the admin goes defunct.

riverflows (72) · 5 years ago

You can transfer ownership of your community easily enough by making someone admin, and giving them the keys. MAking a community actually makes an account with keys you have control over.

When I meant posting in tribe, I meant on www.naturalmedicine.io. It's just a bit of a code that has been added that just adds the COMMUNITY tag to it automatically, telling it to put it in that community.

If someone else wants to own same community, they can't unless you give them rights or the keys. They CAN however, call a community by the same name and poach users with a better deal. I can't stop anyone creating a natural medicine community, for example.

Thanks for the nice response.

At the moment I cannot grasp why a non-tribe owner would want to build a community.

Seems like tribes and communities (and eventually SMT's) are meant to be used together, to reward the posting of content they want to see created.

Still, I am bewildered by the distint separation caused by adding communities. With limits on how many tribe tags we can use, it seems we are now further limited by which communities can view a post. I am not sure why I would want to stop posting to my blog as my primary choice to pick up various small tribe rewards.

Perhaps commmunities exist to ensure tribe tokens are more likely to be rewarded to content mostly exclusive to the matching tribe, rather than generalized posts aimed at pilfering from as many tribes as possible. I am not sure.

Does it plunk into two communities if you use both tags, do you know?

riverflows (72) · 5 years ago

I'm actually not entirely sure about this, perhaps I should test on my next post. Yes, is my gut feeling, if you are using that community's tag.

Even with all this explanation, it's FAR too complicated for me to take in. Once I get to 3 things, anything more is lost. Thank you, Lyme disease....

@goldenoakfarm, don't you worry. Just post as usual.

If you don't see it in your blog, click the 3 little dots at the bottom of the post and click 'add to blog'. That's all you need to know. xx

Great post to help users with the new Communities feature. I hope more people will post about their findings.

Thanks for the rewards sharing.

Thanks! You're welcome. I stupidly posted at wrong time, so I missed my autovote - so the rewards aren't as much as I would have liked, du'oh!

Try edit it and add remove a space or something. Some autovote bots are also triggered by a post edit.

I'm still a bit lost when it comes to all this. It will probably become a bit more clear once I try it out - at least, that's what I hope....

Well, that's pretty nifty how crossposting works. I didn't know that on an X-post the author got an additional 90% cut of that post. Or is that 90% of the 50% reward for authors.
