Thank you for the reply.
I will try to adujst my posting rate so it doesn't look bad.
I have some further questions:
So basically I have to use communities only hence posting to just my blog is uselss?
How can I verify my ownership of images if I made them?
I already had someone tell me the same as you but that person told me that if I made them then it's fine.
What are the photo communities about?
I have read the rules of a few and not all say they need written blog posts but accept any type of post.
Is it better to just write there too?
I must get a clear understanding of the difference between rules in a community and what actually makes good content in general.
Many rules there are not usefull for knowing what to post, I just know what not to post.
Am I muted in mutliple communities?
I am aware two occasions where I got muted.
In one case it got a post muted and the other one unmuted me.
Am I muted in multiple places? Where can I see such stats?
Looking forward to your reply.
I saw the same two, hopefully that's all
You don't have to use communities if you don't want. In fact you can do anything or not on Hive, it's decentralised. But there are best practices that will help you build your account,and behaviours that are frowned upon by the community. It's entirely up to you. Posting in communities will make it easier for people to find your content, and by all means use the tags as well, you might as well if it's there.
Anyone can create a community and photography is always a popular topic. Some are general, and some specialise in a niche. For example don't post colour photos here https://peakd.com/c/hive-142159/created or abstract photos here https://peakd.com/c/hive-106444/created. You're just asking to be muted. Not every community asks for a written post and a lot of people don't write much, again up to you. Personally I never posts just a few photos and expect to be rewarded for it.
And finally - verification. It's all down to trust. Newbies are generally not very trustworthy to many. As harsh as it sounds, we have seen our fair share of fake accounts, imposters and people stealing content from other people and passing it off as their own.
You have provided a massive list of your websites, all newly created with no assets. I've asked to before and you have not answered my question. Again you don't have to. But you see where the lack of trust comes from?
Not many people find their own way onto Hive as we're not that well known, most are referred by someone they know. So whenever someone says they found Hive from YT or the internet, it always raises alarms bells. Trust needs to be earned, and I'd say that's probably your priority right now.
Thank you for the great reply.
The general mistrust is certainly justified.
I had no problems with that and knew that that could happen hence I have heard enough about these issues on other social media so it is not a surprize to see that here on Hive too.
I just hope that my errors in combination with the mistrust on Hive do not destroy my account unjustifiably and force me to use another one to start anew.
Some people where understanding and supportive just like you.
I have already upset an admin of some community although that person was impolite so maybe I should not care about that.
On the other hand the great team of Worldmappin was supportive and helped me a lot.
Your post is very helpful and much appreciated.
I also have to ask what exactly you wanted to know about the links in my account?
I want to answer your question but I do not quite understand.
Are you asking about the purpose of these links?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you sincerely.
