RE: Why I Post on ChainBB Only For Now...

in #chainbb8 years ago

Hurm. I'm still not sure I get it! XD
But I like how ChainBB looks, and I'm sure I'll get it if I try it out LMAO
(Such are the pros and cons of being a kenesthetic learner LOL)

So, I could make a forum on ChainBB, right? I actually have a deviantART group and a tumblog I'm planning to make for a project, so I could make an area on ChainBB, too! ^-^)

And communities... Are seperate from the forums, right? So when communities are released, I could build one of those for the project, too?

Sort:  

Right now you've gotta ask for forums to be created, I haven't built an interface yet that allows for their creation. I have to go put them in manually.

Forums and Communities are independent things, a community will exist on the blockchain, and the forums exist within the indexes I've created on chainBB. The synergy they have is that once communities are released, I can tell the forum software to allow forums created based upon them, allowing communities to generate rewards both via the communities protocol AND through the forum interface.

Okie doke, I gotcha - though where do I post stuff if a relevant forum hasn't been created? In the General Discussion forum, or?

Hrm, good question. I suppose the general forums would work - and then you could just add 4 additional tags to get it discoverable on steemit.com within those categories.

As topics become popular within the general forums, we can always branch out and add more. I hesitate to add a ton of forums really fast because it'll just end up creating clutter and unused forums :)

That sounds like a good way to do it! o v o)
Kind of like... making forums by popular demand! :'D

I think I'll be posting to chainBB from now on ^ u ^)

Though I was wondering - it doesn't hurt the forum curation if I do Powered Up posts, does it? Because I was thinking about doing mostly Powered Up posts, and Powering Down if I needed some money (though I think that's frowned upon on Steemit? :'S So I'm not sure...)
But anyway, the algorithm still lets chainBB get the 15% off my posts, right? It won't mess it up?

Here is the hierarchy: Steem blockchain > communities > Tags

Steemit can use communities like sub-reddits. Chainbb can use communities like forums.

@jesta created Reprint...which would allow a forum about beer, for example, (community) to be hosted on its own domain.

Okay... I THINK I get it now! XDD
Thanks for explaining it. I can be a bit dense sometimes XD

Aaa, I think Reprint would be too technical for me;;; XD;;;
