Notice anything different in my profile pic above?
While this change is still in @peakd's beta stage, @asgarth told me it'll soon come live!
How can you get a Reddit Icon next to your username? It's easy.
Go to https://hiveposh.com/ and register!
Registering is quite fast, just one Reddit authentication and you're in.
Aside from having linked your Hive account to your Reddit account, why should one do this?
This enables you to earn POSH and Hive for your successful Hive link shares on subreddits.
Thankfully Reddit's recent API cost changes didn't affect us, for now. Which means our work towards making this possible wasn't as wasted as our work on Twitter, while we're hopeful that may change and become a bit clearer eventually, we can in the meantime focus some of our sharing on Reddit.
While Reddit's a bit more complicated to spread the word around Hive by sharing content of all kinds on their many subreddits, given the right place and time it might be worth it in many ways and we are here to reward you for that effort as the whole ecosystem benefits off of that. Hive needs more users and this may be one of the many ways we can get them!
Here's an example of how it works, let's take one of the latest shares that was successfully registered by our bot. Hiver @kstreet shared his Gods Unchained article in the Gods Unchained subreddit a few days ago, notice how it's not even submitted as a link but the link to the post is in the body of the reddit submission:
The submission did quite well, 5 upvotes and twice the amount of comments, but on the same day someone else also shared a post that got over 44 upvotes in a different subreddit. Since these two shares were the only Hive links shared that day, they were the only two accounts to earn POSH!
It gets even better, we also have people looking out for these shares to then upvote the comments that notify the author of the shared post about it. These comments liquidate the rewards so you can receive the rewards 100% as liquid Hive without a single fee after 7 days of the share:
Currently only 25 POSH are going towards Reddit daily, but with the increase in registrations and activity, we're also going to increase the daily POSH reward pool. More active people, more POSH, more Hive rewards and potentially more users reading your content on Hive and maybe even going so far as to create an account to engage with it and learn more about our ecosystem!
The thing with Reddit is that you have to be careful where you post, it's not as "free for all" as your own Twitter page, it's a bit more like communities here on Hive. You gotta make sure you read the rules in the sidebar and make sure your content is going to fit in with the subreddit and its potential readers. It requires a bit testing your way through, but we're excited to see what kind of subreddits everyone will stumble upon, which ones will allow your links to stay on there and let you earn POSH and Hive and the value it may bring back to our ecosystem.
With only 100 registered Reddit users on hiveposh.com at the moment (compared to Twitter's 3500), we wanted to run a little kickstart contest.
We're going to be giving away 3 POSH each to everyone new who successfully shares a Hive link on Reddit from this post on until it pays out.
The bot will register and mention everyone new once in its daily posts and then it will also notify you of upcoming POSH earnings with a link to your share. The same way as Twitter used to work basically 😅
Anyway, let us know what you think about the new upcoming icon and also feel free to share your sharing experience with us. Reddit can be a bit stricter but it might also be worth it a lot more!
Something we'd like you to keep in mind:
Shares on Hive-related subreddits won't get your shares registered with the bot, POSH is about attention and traffic from outsiders, not to bring people to your posts who already are Hivers. Same goes for trying to cheat the reward system by sharing onto dead subreddits or subreddits you own, etc. We will ban the subreddit and potentially your Hive account from earning POSH & Hive once we notice these attempts.
Other than that, you can share as often as you like but try not to anger those Reddit mods, they're already going through a lot with their protests and whatnot. :D Have fun!
The post rewards will be shared the devs that helped make this happen!
The Reddit community push back may have actually helped keep the free API tier open for apps like POSH to continue functioning. Hard to say how much influence that protest had on corporate decision making. The rules could change in the future and unfortunately 3rd party devs are at their mercy. Luckily GOSH does not have the same problem with gatekeepers.
This is dope! Just did it and it showed up instantly on https://beta.peakd.com/
A great program! Always looking for ways to increase awareness of Hive!
Any ideas about specific subreddits we can try to post on?
This is a great question. I've been meaning to put the time in to experiment posting into many, look for new ones, etc, and see how they behave towards "unknown website" links. This would then allow me to create some kind of list we can pin on @redditposh or somewhere to make it easier for users to know which ones are "friendly" towards sharing.
Wish I had more time or that more users would get involved in helping out, until then I guess it's a hit and miss/try your way through thing.
r/cryptocurrency seem to allow most posts from leofinance but it has to be broad content (i.e. not just something random about hive related). They usually have some random rules like "too many posts about coin x today so we deleted your share" etc, but no harm in trying as long as you don't spam or get banned.
Ok I will try to find something :)
Even though I'm not a Reddit person, this is epic! Looking forward to more socials to be next to our names :D

Got my badge :D Let's give it a try. Reddit is tricky but not impossible ;)
As some people are looking for alternatives to reddit we need to raise awareness of Hive. Just have to be careful not to upset the mods.
I've been checking out Lemmy recently. Like a Reddit clone. Some good traffic. People are somewhat open to moving to new places. But there's also a lot of tribalism and fighting to keep out division so it might be hard to penetrate that shell. I've seen some people using Rentry and similar things, archive.org, to put things they want to share in a less vulnerable way. Blockchain as a version control enabled long-text storage service for sharing is not the terriblest of ideas. No collaborative editing or ownership transmission, though. Might be a pass for that.
After seeing this one I am trying to remember if I created a Reddit account or not. I think I created one earlier but forget the password. I am going to check it.
🤔🤔🤔
These services are centralized and tend to censor whenever things do not benefit them. Why not use platforms like mastadon and MeWe which are tauted as censorship free? I know someone created an account for hive on mastadon but it is barely used. I think it could help hive more using these platforms as well as push posh posts. I really miss getting it.
I am going to register my account to Reddit❤
I'm not a reddit user, but I like the idea of being able to use these tools to spread the hive.
Thank you very much. I dont have a Reddit account, but I'll have one soon. How about facebook?
We don't think it's feasible but we'll take a look at their threads app to see what we can do.
I love reddit, but I still prefer to lurk and not have a non-throwaway account.
@acidyo This was one of the information I was waiting for, thanks for sharing it. I wish you many successes.
Thank you so much for this beautiful information, I will give it a try , thanks for sharing.
Answer thinking you could do this on Truth
Lol
Thank you for sharing this much needed piece of information with us. I 'm already on Reddit. It is time to add an icon on my Peakd profile and share fun on Reddit. Reddit is different from Twitter in case of rules, yeah we should be careful about it.

Definitely a reason to use reddit!
On my way!
POSH (Proof of Sharing) on Reddit is such a game-changer! It's incredible to see the integration of blockchain technology and social media platforms. By rewarding users for sharing their quality content, it encourages genuine engagement and helps build a stronger community. Kudos to the team behind POSH for creating a bridge between two powerful platforms. Together, they have the potential to revolutionize the way we interact, collaborate, and share valuable information. Exciting times ahead for both content creators and avid users alike!
Dear @acidyo I was banned from ocd discord server also I think my help post was removed from the official hive.blog discord server as well where I contacted you. Also my post on this account regarding the issue you never responded back to me. My Redditposh account has been blacklisted and I no longer receive rewards or notifications for sharing any hive.blog posts on Reddit please tell me what was the reason for this blacklist help please help. So I can provide my justification and hope that my blacklisted Redditposh account can be revived. Help me please as already am being blacklisted by hivewatchers on my main @liquidocelot as well as this alt account as well help me, please.

You post in a subreddit with inflated subscriber numbers but barely any active users, your reddit posts are overly inflated compared to the other few sharing there. This is manipulation of web2 scoring which in turn makes you earn more POSH unfairly. There is no value being brought to Hive through your shares as your reddit posts are being upvoted through fake hits, thus no traffic is being generated. Attempting to cheat your way into more POSH means you're cheating the reward pool as that's what's being used to uphold the token value to reward those generating real traffic, thus you were banned.
I have defend myself here as you did not see that I have over 13k karma and over 45 followers on this reddit profile. You can check I post every day on my main account @liquidocelot please consider my request for a manual review of my case as I feel I have adhered by the redditposh guidelines to the book.
That doesn't mean anything, I have a lot of karma and followers too, they don't automatically go and upvote anything I post. Judging by your account histories I am not going to continue debating this any longer.
Dear Sir! if in the current case where you 100% feel I have gained from the system then what is the backdoor for me in that scenario? How can I redeem my self and get my self unbanned from
redditposh successfully. Please let me know Sir! thank you so much for your correspondenc
My friend Please respond back, so I can follow the redemption process help me please already 13 days left I think in my other redemption for removal of my main account from blacklist from hivewatchers please do not ignore me help please help me.
