RE: Cross-addressing cross-posting

in OCD5 years ago

I'd love to see some of the big auto-voters review what they are doing. Don't just go for maximum curation rewards when there are lots of quality, under-appreciated posts out there. I do benefit from auto votes, but I'd honestly like more real engagement on my posts. We may be neglecting the social aspect of this platform.

I've not figured out this cross-posting feature yet, but I see you can re-Steem your community posts to your feed. I assume in that case they only count as one post.

Yes, so this add a community post to your own blogroll.

Cross-posting creates a new post and therefore, a new open reward opportunity. The benefit is, you can post someone else's content and take a small slice of the author reward, the community gets a small slice, and the original author takes 90%. It is a powerful opportunity to incentivize sharing and give a lot of exposure for authors, plus additional rewards.

Cheers. I will look at how it is being used and see where I can use it. Don't want to overload people with posts.

Yeah, I am unlikely to ever cross-post my own post as it opens up getting multiple rewards on the same content. But I might use it for someone else's. You can see through SteemPeak how it looks in the feed if you go to example, @acidyo's posts.

I will look at using it to add some content to my guitar community. I hope more musicians will join when they get support there.

Yep, I think there is the opportunity to increase visibility on the noobs who come in with great content.
