Hey everyone!
I am glad to announce that we have been renovating the Steem subreddit over the past weeks and the feedback has been quite positive so far!
We decided to start these changes to turn the subreddit from a billboard of post promotion into a gateway to Steem for the millions of users that Reddit has. We believe that we can turn the subreddit into a place to spread information about our platform and to help any curious redditors get on board and learn about what makes Steem great! The change has also improved the discussions in the comment section by a lot so far and even raised general activity and "reddit upvotes" on self posts.
This is what we have done so far to achieve these goals:
- A new moderation team has been recruited.
- Weekly post promotion thread where users can share their contests to get attention and new entries. We believe this will be an amazing way to attract new users into Steem who happen to look at the subreddit.
- Bi-Weekly post promotion thread, here you can share your latest blog post for more attention! Users who comply to the rules will be rewarded
- A brand new set of rules to encourage good behavior, including a change to make the subreddit text only to discourage link dropping and encourage more conversations about Steem and leaving the space open for questions by newcomers.
We believe having a page for Steem on reddit can be advantageous for us in growing our user base, especially with the upcoming Hardfork 20 update that will streamline the process of account creation for everyone, opening the floodgates for everyone that wants a Steem account!
To encourage all Steemians to participate in the subreddit and increase its activity and bring life to our reddit embassy a contest will be run with 100 Steem up for grabs for the participants!
By focusing the post promotion into one thread this means it will also be easier for curators to find your posts than them being scattered all over the subreddit.
The rewards will be distributed between everyone that abides by the rules by sharing a post on the Post Promotion stickies. Make sure to flair your Steem account on the right panel so that we know who are you in case you have a different username over there!
Lets show redditors how cool Steemians are by giving them a good look at our platform from there and encouraging them to sign up!
This contest will last for the current Post Promotion thread (August 11th) and the next two!
You can find the rules in the current Post Promotion thread.
Now go and visit the subreddit and make sure to subscribe!
We have received over 250 subscribers since the last post about the subreddit! Let's grow it even more during this bear market. :)
Terrific idea @acidyo.
This is something that I need to consider giving my time to. Reddit is certainly a sensible gateway to STEEM and should really be targeted. I like the idea of changing things up so it isnt place where people basically spam their content. STEEM needs to put a good foot forward.
So many projects where to spend the time. LOL
Thanks for all your work on this end....with HF20, Reddit could be a great feed in.

I'm not sure if they've already answered the question in another comment because there are so many, but they'll only accept articles in English? In my Arepa Digital Account I sometimes post articles in English, but the vast majority are in Spanish.

I'm probably doing this wrong that would be typical serena of me. But I think I am subscribed as number 7372-ish. I've avoided reddit forever because I thought it was stupid and have now joined just for you. First time for everything I guess. Thanks for doing something cool. I'll try to figure out everything else I'm supposed to do.

Good idea - such a co-ordinated marketing will give STEEM the real attention it needs. Along the same lines, I came across an email about a linkedin like site dock going to use Etherium for the project and I was thinking we should actually talk to them about using STEEM and SMT instead ...

Finally! I've been complaining about the terrible state of the subReddit for a long time. We definitely need more curation and less spamming and more conversation about the platform. The spamminess of the subReddit really helped to make Steem itself look less legitimate.

Blame it on the classes I'm taking at night.

Is it only regarding the Steemit interface or does it deal with all things Steem?
If so then it's a confusing sub-reddit. However it's understandable as well because I think every user was initially confused about the difference and thought they were publishing to steemit and being paid by steemit which it's actually steem that we are all using. I'm guessing you probably don't have the ability to change it after the fact. Oh well. Maybe change the branding to make people know it deals with more than the steemit interface. (Unless its only for you guys that still use that website)
