Communities in STEEM: My First Contact
ScreenShot of Project HOPE Community in Beta.Steemit
Hello everyone, I am not an expert, so I will speak only from my limited personal experience and give my impressions on the subject, you are already warned ㋡ this post is a translation of one that I just published in Spanish.
I had read about the implementation of communities in the STEEM blockchain for a few weeks, but I admit that I had not paid much attention. But, in a post of @crypto.piotr I found a comment that caught my attention, they asked:
What is hive-xxxxxx?
He was referring to the first label of the post, that case was #hive-175254
The answer was:
Hi
Did you hear about communities on beta.steemit.com?
We just created and I'm testing "Project HOPE" community and hive-175254 seem to be ID of this community.
Check out this link and subscribe: https://beta.steemit.com/created/hive-175254
Cheers
As you can understand, since I have been close to some of the members of the @project.hope and they have given me a lot of support, advice and guidance to learn about this platform, I immediately went to visit the link.
Well, the interface of Beta.Steemit does not differ much from that of Steemit and in that sense I do not have much to highlight, but the possibility of organizing interest groups and publications in a better way seemed to me a good advance. Ok, with the labels and with the tribes something like that was done, but I think it didn't work for me (it may be because of my lack of expertise).
For now they are starting and when exploring the list of communities there are not many, but at least it seems to me that there are several that are interesting to participate and be able to share with a better defined Target Audience or Target, I imagine that here an old colleague who He is a professor of advertising and marketing could explain things better, but for now it will be enough to point out that by successfully segmenting the population we are addressing, we have a greater capacity and better possibilities of achieving effective and efficient communication to give Know our ideas and promote interaction with other participants who share our interests.
Now, I have to admit that I have become quite used to using the frontend of @steempeak with preference and I was wondering if I could check the communities directly there. I noticed that I could not find any direct option for this, but I found a solution as simple as it was effective: When exploring the topics, simply add a search with the tag of the community that interested me and then mark the star that appears next to the headline to save it as "Favorite"
With that already done, you can see that you can save all the communities you want, although I would like it to allow me to put a nickname to my favorite searches, because for now they only appear as hive-xxxxxx, but in short it is already an advance for my.
ScreenShot of Project HOPE Community in SteemPeak
You can see in the block at the top left that three communities are saved as "favorite topics" for now.
Well, if the Beta site already allows you to navigate in the communities, why did I look for a way to do it from another frontend? Ok, it was a matter of personal taste, I like the ease with which I can create predesigned templates on this platform, the programming of publications without complications, the direct consultation to my wallet with a graph of constant update of the price of STEEM and SBD, among others stuff.
I think that at this point it goes without saying that I am using in all cases the dark theme of the platforms, but I better point it out in case some clueless reader thinks about asking. Well, that's it, I would like to know if this was of any use.
Dear @pedrobrito2004
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. So far I'm not very convinced that users will see much benefits from using those communities. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Interface is indeed very simple. I'm sure devs behind steempeak will do much better job.
Tribes were ... all over the place. Every tribe had different website (often difficult to memorize) and each tribe required signing in (which isn't what tigers like to do ;) At the same time beta.communities are kind of neater and "in one place".
However one thing I don't like is the fact, that so far I couldn't find a way to "whitelist" those who can post on created by me community. Which sucks big time. I don't want ANYONE to be able to post on community we would build and promote. And I believe most admins would like to have more control over this channel.
Another problem I see is the fact, that as a content creator I can only post my new publications in ONE community. So if there would be 2 or 3 which are similar with subjects, then I would have to chose which only one of those 3. It simply means, that new communities will have a very difficult time to compete with established communities.
SHARE YOUR VIEW
I've asked number of people to visit this post and I would like to know what do you personally think about communities on beta.steemit.com so far? I absolutely will appreciate all valuable feedback.
Yours, Piotr
If communites will work like closed group on facebook or fanbase on old dlive, then famous people will make their social media on steemit too!
That is another step to make decentralized platform better!
Hopefully it is so, but for the moment I can not see that it is pointing in that direction, I hope that in the near future developers can focus things in that direction.
Good morning @atnazo

Hi, thanks for the comment.
I see what you say about the problem of publishing content in just one community that may be of interest to several groups of people and in truth I had not thought about it. I am not very knowledgeable in the use of the tribes, but by the explanations that I have seen, I can add the labels of the tribes in any order and it allows me to load the content to share it with them, it is good to give diffusion, but if it is the case of the communities, because I already did an experiment and only upload the publication to the community if the label that identifies it is in the first position, so it would have no effect if I place it in third, second or any position other than the first.
This characteristic that the label of the community must be placed first and that only works if it is there, severely limits the possibilities of spreading the posts.
Not being able to control who publishes is also a thing that would have to be fixed, otherwise we could have cases of massive spam attacks by malicious users, I think that the creation of permits and the administration of them has to be improved, I have not I have done a lot on other networks, but I think things like this have been seen in Facebook groups and other similar things.
On the other hand, I would like there to be a way to implement a "Discussion Table" or a way for community members to discuss when a post is not considered as adjusted to what the community considers as such, that is , a kind of argued vote that reminds me of the "Classical Greek Ostracism" system where citizens could vote on the people they considered should be subjected to a forced withdrawal from public life for a period of time, in this situation it would be for put the community posts to the vote and evaluate that the members of the community share their contents to some extent or at least do not consider them totally inappropriate for the development of the community.
P.S.: Thank you for inviting people to discuss and contribute their perspectives.
It's the same for every other Platform (GAB, Minds, MeWe) which has groups or communities.
MeWe solves that by allowing to specify a group when re sharing. GAB and Minds only allow to reshare a group posting into your own Profile. All three allow to add comments to reshares.
Steem are the most primitive. Only reshare into the own profile and without even a comment.
I think the MeWe approach, allowing reshares into groups with optional comments, is the best.
Thanks for the comment, I do not know much about other platforms and it is good to see that in a certain way (although it is a common problem) there are ways to solve something when sharing a post already sent by another user.
Hello Piotr,
In my experience, joining a community is advantageous:
-your posts will be easily viewed by anyone interested to learn more of a topic (example: build-it which focuses on things that people can build/ make)
I do not know how you can solve your problem on having an exclusive community wherein approved members can only post using your tribe tags. I can only suggest that you need to make a unique tag- something that will never be used by anyone.
I hope this helps.
I don't see the reason to make steem more complicated than it is. I am on steemit almost two years and I am still learning it. How to convince new users to steemit? Tags, tribes and now communities, all makes it more and more complicated.
Couple days ago when @noisy introduced beta.steemit.com to polish community I wrote how I see it. For me it is copy of reddit with it's subreddits build on Steem blockchain. Strong communities could gain profit of it, but not everyone.
Thanks for the comment. I had not thought about the example of reddit.
I share the idea that this initiative of the communities can mainly benefit large communities and those that attract whales to participate, it is time to wait a bit and see what happens, after all, the same Beta site indicates that the funicons it has They are on trial and may change.

Hello Piotr,
thank for pointing this article out for me and some other fellow steemians! Interesting topic but I haven't had the time to read about communities so far. So this was my entry into this!
Cheers!
Lucky
I think it is a critical step, it could grow big if some big players from other social media come here and bring their followers with them. But they need to find benefits they have here compared to the other social network. I think a community should also offer a kind of private messenger like "Partiko" does here on the steem blockchain. It has to be easy to configure and also very easy for the users to join.
For the community administrator there should be an easy method of inviting people to the community and also throwing them out if they don't care about the "rules" and only spam the community. This is critical i think.
I fully share that it must be made easy and that it works. Simple to set up and simple to participate, that would attract a lot of people.
The lack of community control tools by administrators is also a pending task.

I don't know. There are people (like @exyle) who see big advantage for steem as soon as communities are online.
I just wait and see. The reality will be the best proof.
Yes, high expectations are a good thing to maintain optimism, but it is always the confrontation with reality that decides the success of the idea.
I was already confused enough with all the steemit-like sites from which people were encouraged to post. Then, we had this explosion of coins/tokens whatever they call them. I have some marlians, pal, spakos, and who knows what else that i don't know what to do with them. Every day some new things come up and the more information we get, I think the more uncertainty it generates. Humans can handle only so much. We can't be in a thousand places at the smae time and expect to live a life. In the mean time the price of Steem keeps pretty low. I just don't see the point of so much disperssed effort.

At the time, the communities suggested to group users of common interests and that it would be easier to reach the right audience for the posts we wrote, but you are right that complicating everything is not something that is good for the massification of the blockchain steem.
This can take a lot of effort and if an adequate consideration is not perceived, because there is no reason to do such work, that is worrying for the future of this network.
I wasn’t even aware of beta.steemit or hives before you reached out to me, but after reading the comments I have one thought. While it might be useful to limit who can post to a tribe/hive/community, the nature of a blockchain is that is a public ledger so anyone should be able to examine anything on the chain. Perhaps the way to control both posting and reading access is to use a tribe/hive/community encryption key so that only those granted the key (probably over an external channel) can post to that tribe/hive/community by virtue of the fact that only they have the key to read it. Everyone can access the record on the blockchain, but it would be gibberish to them. Kind of like when I encounter a post in a foreign (to me) language ;)
Thanks for the comment. In truth, one point that most of us agree with is that administration tools are needed that give the possibility to control the situation and discourage malicious users.
I like the idea of communities at beta.steemit.com. This is a real find for people who want to create or promote a kind of “BRAND”. By idea, it resembles Facebook pages and groups. Who knows, maybe in a few years people will create their “communities” on beta.steemit.com as an excellent advertising platform.
I believe that the creation of communities is a good idea, but not having the administration and assignment of access or publication permissions that I have on other platforms, it doesn't convince me much. I hope this is resolved in the future.

Thanks for inviting me to see this post.
I have to say that I love some of the communities/tribes on Steem. I love Natural Medicine in particular. I'm also active on Build-it and CreativeCoin. I also tag Neoxian and Palnet. I'm also in the early stages of working with someone else to create a Mind, Body & Spirit tribe which I'm looking forward to immensely.
However, I agree with what you're saying. Everyone wants us to use their front end... Which I simply can't do. Steempeak has the best front end from everything I've seen. (I think eSteem would be my second choice.) I use many templates on Steempeak so that my posts are consistent and refer to other posts of similar content. I used to use the scheduling tool on Steempeak all the time (until SteemConnect had issues...)
Even though the logging in is only a slight annoyance thanks to KeyChain keeping that straight for me, the main reason I won't change what I do is the templates I keep on Steempeak.
I see no reason to have dozens of front-ends for tribes which have a subset of what's found on the Steem blockchain. There's no real benefit for using these front ends! (Other than for staking token - assuming I can get the front end to even let me do that - often, I can't.)
I love the support some of the tribes are giving to those who use their tags, but no, I just can't use everyone's separate front-ends!

Thanks for the comment. I participate in a few groups, but I understand what you are commenting on the use of different frontend according to each community. Being frank, I consult them all from #SteemPeak, it is not what the creators of the tribes would like, but I find that their interface is to my liking and I am quite reluctant to change what works for me and I like it.
Dear @crytpo.piotr.
I really admire you because of your work at steemi
Respect to this subject, I don´t know what to say because I was absent to steemit during a pair of months, and I feel that many things happened so quickly. Sometimes I feel lost.
I expect to increase my knowlwdge about the platform in e ahort time.
Thanks a lot to write me about that themes.
Thanks for the comment. Welcome back, it is true that here on the net things change very fast in just a few months.
And just when I was absent, @pedrobrito
hahaha
Thanks for comment
Dear Piotr,
I have to say that I totally agree with You even after reading quite some good points of view of other steemians =)Also I couldn't let pass the opportunity to say that I do love SteemPeak devs work, top-notch in the least!About communities, it would be good to see a lot of improvements like the ones You stated, more than that, it's a matter of time, lets wait and see if it will become a great thing or just another "sub-reddit" alike, pretty much as @lesiopm said..Thank You for the invitation to share my view although, I didn't contributed anything new =x..Also an appreciation note to @PedroBrito2004 for sharing this info!Cy
Thank you for the invite, @crypto-piotr ... I come to this from the viewpoint of a professional journalist and two-time author before ever discovering Steem.
Because online media is so keyword-centic now, and because even in the case of how Steemit functions this is true, it does initially seem like having people post content in only one community will be very limiting to content creators. I give as an example my own recently completed serial story, The Posture of Innocence; the later chapters have 6-8 tags on them, thus appearing in so many kinds of categories -- but in a community setting, I would be at a loss. By default, I could remain with say, @freewritehouse as my community, but let's say there was a novel community and a mystery community and an African American writers community and a Christian story community. That sets up two challenges: loyalty, because I love @freewritehouse but would have to look and see who has the most readers, and money on two levels -- who pays out the most, and, why can't I get money from ALL FIVE, since my content covers at least those five? Now, I'm sitting up here having to do market research -- and then Amazon and Reddit and regular Steemit already has Steemit communities beat, because if I have to do all that with Steem at this price, I may as well just use my eight tags OR put stuff in the two categories and three subcategories allowed in Amazon and get USD while promoting here, on Reddit, etc.
Of the above challenges, let me highlight two. The first is the fact that smaller communities, no matter how meaningful they may be, will not survive for long unless they have someone who understands the marketing on Steemit required for growth -- folks will look for the biggest communities because of the assumption of bigger exposure and payouts that that go with that. The second is that people like me, who contribute a great deal of quality content, may not accept being paid from just one pot if there are five or six we know we should be allowed to benefit from.
HOWEVER, there is one big upside to very focused communities-- most people nowadays are niche-driven even though they keyword hunt, so if you allow robust tagging options on posted content, even having content in only one community might end up not being so big of an obstacle. Eventually. On Amazon one has the fine situation of "Main Subject & ..." so, this CAN work ... however, one of the reason this works on Amazon is HUGE search traffic. Some communities, if they name and position themselves well, might be able to do very well with this... but AGAIN, community creators who do not know how to do this will not be able to build communities that get big enough to survive.
Which brings me to a final thought ... having content creators only be able to submit to one community adds layers of complexity for both creators and communities to overcome to do well. People like me with specialized knowledge can jump the hurdles if we want, but we have better options than to bother. Other people will crash into the hurdles and begin spreading their disappointment, and Steem REALLY cannot afford a lot of that. So: if the "post into one community only" is the decided way, then to make it work, a lot of marketing to people who want the challenge and resources so they can do it are essential... but that also means mass adoption will be a struggle.
Hi @deeanndmathews
I never actually thanked you for this amazing comment. Appreciate it a lot.

Piotr
You're welcome!
Thank you very much for sharing this view based on your experience and knowledge.
I really appreciate it a lot, because I don't know enough about these issues and I'm glad someone who works on them shares their explanations.
From my point of view, the idea that centering the posts to a community can only complicate my life, in that sense I preferred to work with the labels of the Tribes that were related to the themes of my publications, but I do not want to discard the use of This function of the community from the beginning. I think I should give myself a chance to try it and see how far I am able to give it effective use.
I also think that adding more complexity can be a problem for the end user ... I always remember that old phrase "make it simple", after all, the user may not want to have to spend a lot of effort and if another platform offers similar things or services without having to try so hard, well ... things would not paint well for Steem.
Such a platform already exists. It has a "one community" only, BUT it pays in USD, and there is no seven-day payout limit. It is growing. Requirements are stricter for length of content ... but I can manage there quite well. So could any high-quality content producer -- and there, $.10 is $.10. It is no threat YET ... but it will be.
Wow! That sounds interesting.
Piotr,
I think I mostly agree with you. Personally I didnt invested too much time in expertise -- I created one group (devoted to the mushrooms) and stepped back to watch the concequences. Probably it will take solid time, sufficient amounts of work and promotion, so that something will mature from it. I have time to wait, but I really dont have energy to invest in the efforts. And it looks like other users share my position.
Why use it, if we have tribes already?
Your point about content planting not being possible to several communities at once, is 150%, bingo! Giving the 1st tag to some nameless stuff (hive ##### - what does it mean? nothing!) is discouraging also pretty much.
I've invited to my fungi-dedicated community a dozen of users, the result is about zero. Seems like my friends share the lack of intrest to it. Well, it looks like that. Maybe it has some energy and benefits in potential - like a natural plant's seed... I will give it time, lets see how it will turn out, when more people check it and use to live with it. Give it time, dont try to calculate and foresee it -- probably, thats my (a bit lazy) position. :P
The fact that it is complicating things is a bit worrying, it is also true that it will take some additional work to attract members to the community, but it happens that users that we have not invited can freely publish in it and fill that Feed with pure Spam or with different contents to which the community poses ... That is a problem.
Could you tell me a colleague that to curb this behavior we have the negative votes in order to dissuade the accounts that they publish abusively, but at the beginning I would like more that they could assign publication permits. I am one of those who prefer to prevent a spam post instead of having to vote negatively post spam endlessly.

The hive-##### tag will automatically converted the display name with future frontends. And it's not a bad idea as it prevents name squatting.
If you change the current "hive" label to one that is more related to the content that is generated, then that will be a good thing.
That's already the case. All hive tags have a display name on https://beta.steemit.com
You're right, from the front end Beta looks that way.
My comment was more about how it is seen from another front-end, anyway, I hope that this other front-end can update soon and add the functionality of the communities, but from what I read, first wait for it to leave the phase Beta and go to full use within the platform.
oh! sounds intresting. time will tell -- exactly how I feel about it. thanks for a good comment.
You can test how it will work on
https://beta.steemit.com
sure! plan to post some fungie soon :=)
I haven't visited the hive communities on Beta. But I will say that communities are a good thing and help with user retention (which this sites needs badly).
My reasoning for that is hives/tribes create small communities. These communities have members in them who have similar interest which means it will be easier to connect with some people and have fun on here thus retaining users. Its also easier to find the information/content you want to view on such sites.
The issue that I see with Tribes is currently they are pulling from the already existing users on the blockchain which currently there's a dwindling supply.
Thanks for the comment.
Certainly, organizing content better could be a good thing for the network, but I'm worried that small communities will not survive very well with this idea.
One of the limitations that I find most problematic is that there may be contests that have a relationship or importance for several communities, but I can only take one to share it, that did not happen with the tribes, because while using their tags I could share that post with different groups and receive interaction from several groups of users of the Steem network.
As it is in the Beta phase, I will wait to see how it develops in the future and I hope everything goes well.
Communities will be able to have moderators. What you're seeing right now is not the finished product which is why you see the message when you log in:
Communities will allow people to create topics of interest that multiple people can post to. They are not meant for someone wanting to spam across multiple communities.
However, there is some mention that it will eventually be setup that a post can be dedicated just in that community and not show on your blog like they do now. That would allow posts to be shared in different places but not by just applying tags.
Communities and SMTs which are expected at the end of January are built directly on the blockchain and will be able to exist together. So you could create a community about say World's Best Dog.. and then create an SMT tied to that community and distribute the tokens to those who post in the community.
That sounds a lot like Tribes eh? Yes it does except there will be some difference in features. Tribes and Steem-Engine tokens are on a side-chain to Steem not directly on Steem.
The two are not meant to be in opposition to each other. They will be able to co-exist and people will be drawn to use whichever features work for them. So, they will have choices.

Thanks for the comment. What he says explains some things I had doubts about, especially when it comes to the difference between tribes and communities.
That will indeed be a problem. Once a group gains popularity and has a lot of subscribed reader there will be SPAMer to post into the group just to get more eyes onto their postings.
Of corse a while list would need to be build into the blockchain itself or SPAMer will just use an alternative interface or the STEEM API itself to post.
I have seen this happening both in GAB and Minds groups.
Using downvotes to solve all SPAM on the platform isn't enough.
I agree with the danger of spam and bombardment of unrelated content by malicious users, that is a problem that cannot be ignored and management tools are required to control it even a little.
Yes, the negative vote can be used to confront these malicious accounts, but I would prefer that there be ways to control that before having to get to the point of having to do a downvote.
I am going to need to take a loot at beta.steemit I have to admit I moved over to steempeak when ads started so I have to see if this new setup will bring me back.
Thanks for the comment. I recommend visiting the links, but personally, I am the same as you in the preference of using #SteemPeak :)
I still don't understand it completely, but I am glad that their has been some progress made by the folks at Steemit.com, Inc.
Personally, I prefer the Tribes made on the Engine side-chain. As well I am a great fan of @steempeak. Both have done a wonderful job and make navigating STEEM much easier for me. As both the Communities feature of Steem and the SCOT tribes with coexist and are not competitive(?), there are the choices of using one or the other, or both.
I look forward to seeing the developments in the future.
Thanks for the comment. I share what you say and I also hope to see what future we are facing.

In the comments of this post I have also found interesting information that I have shared, so I was thinking in a few days to put the ideas in order, review what they told me and write a new post on this topic.
Good idea with pulling the comments/information together and to post this again!
I'm looking for forward to your upcoming article on this!
Cheers!

Thank you for this info. It was clever to notice that every community is managed by an identifying tag, so we can reach there from other front-ends using that tag. I also prefer Steempeak and didn't know this workaround.
I suppose this is possible as long as the front-end allows every tag (as Steempeak and Busy). There are some exclusive front-ends which show only posts that have the specific tag of a community. That is, the Tribes.
Now I'm wondering if one could post something in a community just by adding the tag of that community (hive-xxxx), regardless of the used front-end.
Thanks for the comment.
(off-topic of humor) Also thanks for implying that I am intelligent hahaha
It was actually applying an old idea of when he organized elements in an old database, in short, it worked.
I am a regular user of the front-end @Steempeak so I tried to post from there using the community tag in the first position and I work well. In fact, I am making a template to like it at once with the publication options for the community and thus have it available whenever I need it.
Beta.Steemit this station, I have only used it a few times,
He doesn't seem to be much different from Steemit?
Maybe I use less and are not familiar with his function, I think the two are similar
You're right, since the Beta subdomain doesn't look very different.
That makes sense if it is considered to be a subdomain to test functions with which it is being experienced before its total implementation (which will only be done if it is a function that is successful)
Just in case, for my case, I looked for an explanation of what was subdomain on a website and that helped me to see that in reality, it should be normal for it to have consistency in the design because it is part of the main domain.

Steempeak, I hadn't heard of it before
https://steempeak.com/ It is a front-end for blogs in the Steem blockchain, as is https://SteemIt.com but it has some additional functions that make me choose it with preference, such as the option to program my publications, create content templates, generate favorites list , save different drafts of publications I am working on and other things.
An interesting advantage is that it allows visitors to have an account as guests using external identification to the blockchain (remember that you can enter with account identification on Facebook and two more, but I do not have it in my memory right now), so that by sharing the links with other social networks, I can receive comments from people who take an account as a guest even if they do not have their registration on Steem yet, that expands the people with whom they can interact and could serve to attract new members for the blockchain at some point.
