Yeah, one of the cool things about Hive is that your content is monetized. One of the not-so-cool things about Hive is how many people want to earn by taking other people's content. That's one of the reasons we have a team of people taking a peek at new people/posts, to help guide them in the right direction (and lower the hammer of doom when necessary... 😉 😂).
And it's not so much we want you to tell other platforms about Hive - it's more we want to confirm that the content you're sharing is yours. So for example, if you have a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram that's older than your Hive account, just do something there to show it's you, like tweet out the link to this post (or your next) and tag me either here or on Twitter. Easy peasy. 😊
And by the way, sharing your stuff on Twitter can also help your content be seen by Hive curators... hint hint 😁
I know it's a lot to wrap your brain around, so please feel free to continue to ask questions. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Thanks a lot lass! Btw, is it possible to filter my feed as i explore HIVE just like on reddit, by geographical location?
You're entirely welcome, good sir!
And sadly no, not at the moment. I seem to recall some time ago there was discussion about having a reddit-like front end (and people could opt in with their location) but nothing like that is available at the moment.
You could "filter" by following certain geographical communities (like the London community, which you can see isn't exactly hopping right now) or tags (like #teamuk). I know @steevc also has something called The Brit List which he updates regularly. But if I hear of anything, I'll be sure to shout out!
Thanks again for the heads up!
Btw, is HIVE/Peakd mainly a blogging platform? There seems to be more written content blog style here than anything else. Is blogging the way to go here?
