Rad thanks for the valuable info on the communities. I realize this post is over 2 months old but it still valuable info. Honestly unlike other social platforms that's what I've hated about Steemit is it seems like people only interact with posts in the inside 1 week frame of rewards.
Where's your Heavy Metal community? I couldn't find it. I wanna shout at the devil \m/
the big problem is I built a role for myself on the chain where I went from prolific creator to now where I post almost not at all, Duane, my man- BUT!
I'm finishing work on my studio in my new house so I can get back to creating video content, editing photos, and can really start growing the metal and the steem/synth streams which I do live now. I would really like to see the heavy metal aspect here grow and will be working on that in the coming months.
You're absolutely right about the engagement, and it can be tricky when you think of it paired with rewards. In general, people don't scroll super far back in feeds either, but there's an added layer of trickiness when "old" content becomes fresh again- should it be reposted, re rewarded? Age old questions that we as a community don't always have great answers to.
I tend to think of communities as part of this answer, as you start building a place for niche content that will be easier to scroll through than say, one huge ass mixed bag firehose feed. THanks for leaving this comment. Come hang with us for FullForce any time
