Well... Even for me it is confusing to use the hives, especially for not being able to know to which community it belongs in an easy way, there is not even a directory that tells you what is the community that belongs to each identification.
I have noticed that if you publish directly from the Steemit page, your post will not appear in the community list when you enter by beta.steemit, however, if you publish from any other linked page such as palnet, creativecoin, tribe, talentclub, etc... if it appears to you as published within the community.
Just remember to place the community as the first tag.
At the moment I find this a bit impractical...
It's me again @darkfemme
I just realized that I never actually thanked you for your comment. Big thx.
ps.
I would need to ask you for little favour. Recently I've decided to join small contest called "Community of the week" and I desribed our project.hope hive/community. Would you mind helping me out and RESTEEM this post - just to get some extra exposure? Your valuable comment would be also appreciated.
Link to my post: on steemit or on steempeak
Thanks :)
Yours, Piotr
