How to get higher rewards and votes. As many of you know, we recently were added to the OCD Community Incubation program. This has also attracted more attention from other curation groups as well. I hope you've noticed the higher votes and rewards for our Drone Community posts.
I do monitor the group at least a couple times a day, and provide upvotes as well as submitting nominations for the larger OCDB rewards. These aren't always accepted by the OCD curation team, but we have seen more of them.
First off let me say that any posts that follow the rules are always welcome (and appreciated!) in this group, and if you just like to take a single pic or video and post it with a short sentence, that is certainly your choice and always very welcome.
I had one of the curators reach out with some suggestions that we could get more rewards and higher rewards by the curators. Here's some of them for consideration (again, not required):
- Increasing the length of their text in posts. We always seem to have some wonderful sometimes professional level photography, but often just short blurb. The curators seem to prefer posts with some additional description, history of the area, background data, your mood that day or whatever else seems to bump it up to 200 words or even a little more. This also will drive more comments and questions for additional engagement.
- Multiple pictures or combo of pictures and video along with the text. I've heard from several of them that they will seldom curate single picture posts, even if professional quality.
- Engage with others - Help drive engagement by commenting on others posts and voting others in the group. Engagement by commenting on others is the best way to amass followers, and to provide a friendly place for others to visit and invite others to.
- Invite others. If you see others posting drone pics in other communities, invite them to join our group!
- There are limits. Our group is fairly small compared to others. We have a few people that post regularly, but many of the curation groups (including OCD) will only upvote the same author so many times in a month, even if nominated. Don't let that discourage you from posting though, there are numerous other curation groups out there, and often one of the others will pick up on the post.
Community Rules Reminder -
A place for those with interest in drones and aerial photography, racing, FPV, or just interested in learning more! RC Planes, RC Trucks, Robots all welcome or just visitors that like to view related posts.
- Please post in the Drone Community and have as the first tag to be eligible for weekly contest and rewards.

- No rudeness, everyone is entitled to an opinion and respectful debate of various perspectives is welcome and interesting, but be respectful.
- Abusers will be muted and free to join other communities.
- Cross-Posted to the group not eligible for contests and rewards.
Enjoy your flying time!
I haven't been involved and shared content in this community for a long time. I'm very happy to hear that the community has upgraded these community rules. so that member posts will be of high quality. I agree with all the rules written in this post. And I will always present posts and pictures that many people can enjoy.
Thank You
Glad to have you back and what a great post for comeback!
Great you have found some curation groups to give appreciation to the work involved. Hopefully most won’t mind the suggestions they’ve added. I like to give a write up so no probs for me, and 200 words as a baseline isn’t much to ask.
Yes, it is great to have their support, and of course their desires for providing votes are just that, desires. Folks are welcome to post here without writing books if they want lol! Many do seem to be writing a bit more to get their favor. They also have limits on how often they will upvote an author, etc.. Gets a bit too busy and overlord-ish for my taste, but it is nice to get those gravy upvotes now and again as a bonus!
“Overlord-ish” 🤣 very well put and I do agree. I suppose there’s no harm in incentivising a little context to an authors post, even if rewards are not guaranteed. Nonetheless, a bit of background story may generate an interesting comment or two. Just as good to get interaction rather than just upvotes.
Yes, many have not yet realized that the interactions will lead to more long term upvotes, more reliably than most other methods! Plus, isn't that what these platforms are all about?
Well deserved you guys, there are some great posts and photographs in this group. I'm glad to have contributed a few times, might just have to post more. Is a hashtag required as well as posting to the group, I didn't see what hashtag to use if so, so asking here?
No hashtag required, just post to the community/group and it will auto-add "drone" as the first tag. I try to give full upvotes and reblogs to all group posts, comment when I can and also submit ocd nominations for the really good ones, but occasionally get busy and miss them with the work hours I've been in. I see you grabbed an Honorable Mention in last weeks Weekly Contest, nice job!
Keep posting and ping this account or @ksteem account if questions or other. I'm usually checking at least twice a day, sometimes more.
Thanks, good to know, and yes I should post to the group more, I'm capturing great footage on my flights, some more air time today, was great!
