RE: Hive Communities: An Interview w/Steemit's Senior Product Engineer

in #hive5 years ago

@roadscape
I've been reading the github about communities in Steem, but I just didn't like the way they will work.
The biggest problem I see is that only posts will be able to appear in the community if users post from there or tag.
This affects both the community and the user:
1- Community:
a) any publication will appear (if the community is free to publish) and the community cannot easily filter the content
b) you cannot "grab" posts to your community that are not made from it
2- Users
It limits the possible gains of the user, since he has to decide to which community he wants to "bet", that is very risky, another community may be interested in his publication but in that he is rejected.

My idea is the following:
In steemit there would be the option of "grabbing the publication" would be like a re-steem style, and add it to the community.
At that time the community would be granting the right to profit from its token and the user would obtain "surprise" tokens.

This solves the 2 above mentioned problems, you give the community complete freedom that it wants to appear in it and you give unlimited possibilities to users who make good content.

I know that several projects are interested in the options you give, but I think it would be good to add this option when making the community

Hi @loreennaa, communities can filter posts easily by "muting" them. With regards to "cross-posting" into multiple communities, this is something that will be possible with a future version. The goal for the initial protocol was to keep it as simple as possible. This is to prevent launch delays as well as to give us time to collect feedback without being locked into a sub-optimal approach.

Hi, In that future version will the user have to choose the different communities where he wants his post, or can the communities attract the user's post to his community?

Anyone could 'cross-post' into a community, similar to reblogging.
