Spanish Invasion
This is what the #spanish trending page looks like today…
I am glad so many Spanish users are joining the platform, Steemit seems to be a big hit in Latin America. However, I can imagine how this can be annoying for non-spanish speaking steemians, so how do you think we can filter this in a better way?
I personally believe that when we have the “communities” feature Steemit will be more organized.
What are your thoughts on the Spanish invasion?
This makes me so happy, u have no idea...and you also have been there in the dark times my friend.
Steem on!
Felicitaciones.. se la merecen!
this guy!
Reminds me of a comic i read when i was a child - about Herman Cortez :))
Mucho tiempo ha pasado desde este post hace 10 meses :-) I just love to see #spanish now

Great news As STEEMIT is now Viral and spreading like virus through internet and offline events too.
Poco a poco nos vamos haciendo con el terreno que nos pertenece :-)
Spanish language is very nice! You must learn Spanish!!
hehe yo hablo español y estoy muy contento de ver tantos posts en mi idioma, aunque sí me gustaría que una vez que tengamos las "comunidades" pueda ver posts en distintos idiomas según la comunidad.
Va a ser un buen avance poder tener comunidades en distintos idiomas, pero así también está bien para practicar otros idiomas.
El español es el tercer idioma mas hablado del mundo! Vamos a comernos Steemit!
Spanish is the third most speaken language in the world!
Así es!
We're all waiting for communities to arrive. They're just around the corner so I don't think putting manpower to bandaid this issue is needed.
And this is kind of positive issue to be had, Steemit can be a big success far easier within Latin Americas userbase where even smaller rewards can be a big deal. So it's in our best interest to be supportive of this "invasion" you speak of :)
Edit: I just noticed you already are using Spanish filter tag. So it's all good and working.
I do not believe a filter is the best answer. It certainly helps, but these people have voices that I believe want to be heard. Perhaps a means of translation would be better..
I think a floating flag thingy can do the trick
My Trending page doesn't look like that. You have selected the tag 'spanish', so of course it's full of Spanish posts :-P
It was recently shown that they are the most active non-English tag, but I wouldn't be surprised if that has changed at this point (East Asian traffic grew several times over, it doesn't seem that Latin American traffic has done the same).
I scrolled down a bit to make my point but it is the global trending page.. It would be interesting to see how many of the top 100 posts are in spanish, maybe I will do that right now hehe.. give me a sec.
Oh Crap! you are right.. there a lot of spanish posts however.. I see that 64K SBD has been distributed on the #spanish tag alone..
Thanks for the heads up, I will modify it.
