Great initiative. I do have one question though. There are some newbies who found Hive on their own and are not on any onboarders “team” so it makes it very difficult for us to get curation or even visibility because we just started out. Is there a way a newbie like me could join an on boarders team, at least until I find my way through the communities.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
None of the onboarded members join the team per se, it's for the onboarders. For newbies we do have other initiatives such as @lovesniper that track the first posts of certain accounts, read them and give the users recommendations on communities they may be interested in based on their post, then we follow genuine looking accounts to further curate their posts in the future. There are plenty of other initiatives outside our community who also focus on newcomers so I'd say the main thing you can do is comment like you did here on authors you're interested in, check which communities they post to, subscribe to them and be active there with your votes and comments, ultimately you'll start doing pretty well depending on your content and engagement level and the rewards follow organically.
Okay. Until now, I thought lovesniper was just automated to comment on every newbies post and that once the comment is made and the OCD curators welcome you, you’re on your own. I didn’t know there was a chance they might keep tabs on your account to further curate in the future. Thank you for the info. And if you could me with links to some of the other newbie-focused initiatives out there that would be great.
I tried joining the newbie initiative by @starstrings01 and aliento but it seems they only applications at certain times and once it’s closed, you don’t get a chance to join again until it’s open.
