Trying out the Liketu platform for the first time

in Liketu3 years ago (edited)

Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!

As you have probably noticed by now, we have a new front end called Liketu here on Hive. I have already seen a few Liketu posts in my feed so I decided to try it out too. Originally, I thought this platform was only for sharing photos from the phone but I just found out that there is a desktop version too (liketu.com) that you can use even with your laptop. That was actually the reason why I decided to give it a shot as I always do all my Hive stuff on my laptop only :)

For this experimental post, I picked a random shot that I took on the Azores Islands, Portugal some 2 years ago. Let me see if it works...

Edit: So far it looks good. The photo uploaded nicely, the format of the text looks just like I wanted. There is the little Liketu watermark on the picture but that´s ok with me :) It´s also cool that I can actually edit the post from my hive.blog account...


For the best experience view this post on Liketu

Welcome!

So rare that we have people who prefer desktop experiences (I am one). We're rolling out a proper mobile experience in a month or so, I suspect many phone users might prefer that.

Enjoy and looking forward to interacting with you on liketu.

Thanks for the welcome! And for that generous Liketu vote too haha, nice surprise :) Well, if this platform is meant to be something like the Hivean version of Instagram, I totally understand that most people will use the mobile app to interact with it. I don´t know why but I am just used to doing all the important online stuff on my laptop (be it my Hive routine, emails, internet banking etc.) I mostly use my phone for reading stuff and taking photos :) So yeah, I really appreciate that you guys came up with a desktop version too. Thank you for that and all the best to this whole Liketu project!

I am excited about Liketu and the possibility it has to bring so many people to the blockchain. We have really needed a photography based front end for a while now.

Yeah, that´s for sure. Now we just need some efficient marketing of the new front end so that people get to know about it...

Thanks for letting me know. I'll give the app a shot and sadly, probably wouldn't have known about it at all if not for your post. It takes a while for word to get around I guess :)

Glad you found out about it from my post :) Enjoy your Liketu experience!

Hello, great to see you here as well (LivingUKTaiwan here ^_^ ). I been trying out Liketu for a week or see, and it makes a nice change from the normal long posts I do, that why I'm posting from this alt account. Save a view tweaks which I believe the team are working on, hopefully the experience will improve afterwards.

Hey there @livinguktaiwan :) Yeah, I saw some of those Liketu posts of yours. I believe it´s a nice change from those long, high quality posts you publish on your main account. I don´t know if I create another account for Liketu as well or maybe use the new platform only sometimes from my @phortun account... But anyway, it´s always good to know that cool things and project like this one are still being churned out on our chain :) I hope Liketu will be another Hivean success.

Is it possible to upload from the phone without creating a post? Sometimes I want to upload single photos, but don't like to abuse people who have me on auto-vote. A second account, maybe?

Yeah, that should be possible... Try it out for yourself at liketu.com :) An alt account for Liketu content only could be an option too of course.

I've been thinking about an alt account for a while; just unsure how the community would feel. I don't want to be seen as trying to milk the rewards.

From what I know, the platform is meant to be something like the Hivean version of Instragram so I guess it´s ok to post easy stuff in there :)

Ahan finally :)

Yeah, just gave it a shot :) Looks good! You use the mobile app or the desktop version?

Well I use the desktop version on my Mobile :D

Very cunning :D

Your photos look amazing

Wow, liketu account also supports posts. I will try it, thanks mate.

No problem man, I am always happy to share news about cool things being created on our blockchain :) Enjoy your Liketu experience!

Lovely shot you got there @phortun

Thank you :) Sweet Azorean memories from the pre-covid era...
