Hey! Your Hive backup witness, HiveTrending, is here with some exciting news. For the past few months, I’ve been volunteering dev time on the HivePosh project. My main goal is and has been to plug Reddit into POSH.
Sign in and link a Reddit account to a Hive account
The first key pieces of this are already up and running. If you’ve visited the Hiveposh.com site recently, you may have noticed a button to sign in with Reddit. Anyone can go there now and link their Reddit account to their Hive account.
Which Subreddits are Fair Game?
Right now, you can post Hive links in any subreddit, and RedditPosh will pick it up. Subreddits are pretty isolated, and we want to encourage folks to post in places where non-Hivers hang out. So, sometime in the future, RedditPosh will ignore Hive-centric subreddits like /r/Ecency, /r/LeoFinance, /r/Actifit, etc.
Does it work the same as Twitter POSH?
Just like the Twitter integration, RedditPosh will watch for links posted to Reddit. This includes two types of Reddit posts: links and text. Once a valid link is found, RedditPosh will add a comment on the Hive blog post that was linked to. This comment will link back to the Reddit post and, where applicable, mention Hive users who registered their Reddit accounts before sharing the Hive content. Take a look at https://peakd.com/@redditposh/comments to see RedditPosh in action.
HivePOSH Linked Account API
HivePosh also has an API that other apps can use to request info about linked accounts. PeakD already uses this to show Twitter profile info, for example. The HivePOSH API has been expanded to include Reddit account info. For devs interested in using this API, please reach out for more information.
Can you earn POSH Rewards for sharing links on Reddit?
Rewards! While account linking and Reddit streaming are online, the posh rewards system isn’t wired up yet. In the future, it’ll work similarly to TwitterPosh rewards. Think POSH token distribution and Hive comment rewards distribution. Web2 post engagement data (Reddit karma) will be factored into rewards.
So Many Frontends - Open Source Module
As a by-product of Posh, we also spun off a new open-source JavaScript module called “so-many-frontends.” This module exports Posh's code for parsing Hive content URLs and the list of Hive front-end domains that Posh watches for.
Pull requests are welcome if devs want to add their domain names to the Posh list! This should make it easier for community owners to get their sites into the Posh tracking flow for Twitter, Reddit, and other Web2 platforms added in the future.
Thanks for reading, and happy POSHing!
P.s. shout out to @acidyo and @rishi556, who helped me get started on this project.

Where can we find this ?

Thanks. I meant to link to it.
Cheers, submitted a pull request to add hive.ausbit.dev
It's not used much but it shares the same url format as most others :)
Excellent, thanks! Not sure how we missed that one.
Just linked my Reddit account <3

This is fantastic work! Is there a way to link your Facebook and LinkedIn for POSH yet?
Not yet.
That's a great innovation that can eventually bring more users to Hive as well!
Thanks for your work!
Drooping a comment so i remember to look back into this, We started a Sloth.Buzz Reddit not long after our outpost, would make sense to link it up and start to use reddit, start getting some more eyes on the Hive!
Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to see what comes next! (What about medium to Hive...some how making it easier to onboard medium users? Hopefully start to onboard more of those projects that share updates via medium!)
Thanks for the feedback.
I am labeling you as the Hive backend magician...some of the things you can do are amazing...
Great news. Congratulations,
But I have a question. I have a reddit account and I tried to share a few posts on reddit, but the link does not appear while sharing and after sharing. Can you help me? I didn't have this problem before.
Please provide a link to your Reddit post that included the links to Hive content.
Thank you
So we copy the link to the post when sharing? Do I understand correctly?
The RedditPosh bot should do that automatically. Maybe I am not understanding your issue.
If you posted a link on Reddit and POSH didn't add a comment on the Hive post, I need to look at your Reddit post to investigate what went wrong.
I shared this post by linking myself but there were no automatic comments.
Thank you. Posh actually worked as expected. Your Reddit post is the 2nd one listed in the @RedditPosh comment here: https://peakd.com/posh/@redditposh/re-hivetrending-announcement-hiveposh-plugs-into-reddit-2095
The content preview on Hive front-ends doesn't work well for this type of Reddit post. I'll look into improving this.
That's great, I'm glad it's working, thank you for your attention.
I think the only problem is that the link does not come automatically when sharing.
wow - great job. I will definitely use this.
Many thanks!
A !BEER from me for you to celebrate...
