Wait COMMUNITIES?? As in like SPECIFICALLY CREATED GROUPS FOR PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS??
THe liKEs of which are already on most other sites???
Literally on deviantART, the fastest and easiest way to get noticed is to join and post to LOTS OF GROUPS
THIS IS GREAT, WHERE DO I SIGN UP, OMG
runs off to check out the links in the article
((i want to find more artists omg))
haha, communities will be released for all steem blockchain based apps. When communities roll out in a few weeks, then it will be like sub-reddits. When you combine that with the idea of a forum, then each forum will be able to run on communities.
Well now I'm confused! XD
So Steemit itself is going to have communities soon?
And ChainBB gives us forums
Which will make it more like Reddit than Steemit is?
The Steem Blockchain will enable communities. Apps will be able to use this feature or not. For steemit.com it will look like subreddits. For chainBB, each forums could be a community hosted on different website if they wanted to.
Other interesting info. Communities may have a % of all the rewards made in the community.
To recap:
1- Devs can make a % of the app they create (like chainBB)
2- Community builders/leaders/moderators will be able to make a % of all the rewards in their community.
So people could build forums for profit!
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?
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 :)
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;;;
