On steem in fragments

I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!

Steem has its own structure, the one you describe is cool but it does not necessarily align with what is possible here. Steem is more of a stream-of-consciousness, posts are temporary in some sense, since few people are going to scroll down to posts from months ago.
I think the nature of steem only rewarding posts for seven days has influenced the half-life of content here -- after a post is up for about a week, it starts to seem like old news.
I agree... it is more streem of consciousness, which is cool because I don't have to worry too much about 'perfecting' anything.
But there's still a 'background structure' there which holds it all together even if it's not visible.
Only a week? I'd say more like 3 or 4 days until a post's expired!

I'm responding to this 7 days later, just to prove a point!! :-P
Haha, yes very good!
I wonder how many older posts on here get comments after 7 days. 0.00 something % probably.
Not having any kind of index page has been an issue from day 1.
You may wish to take a look at Kure by @krnel - I know it's supposed to be to help curate others but it might also be useful in "curating yourself", in the sense of creating an index.
The cheapest, and most obvious, solution is to create a free blog index page you can update without changing the URL.
One other idea is to add an index below each post. This may end up being very long, but could be creative with the title-text. I know... it's all extra work! (My own schedules tend to evaporate after a while.)
Cheers I do have a couple of other blogs I run... I'll index everything up eventually!
I'll check out that project you mention too!

I think the fragmentation problem is not all that different to mainstream smartphone/social media apps. You end up with fragmented behavior of jumping between apps.
One solution is to develop daily and weekly routines. Evaluate where time is being spent and value gleaned from those activities, and put structure/boundaries on time. For example, spend time replying to comments for 30 minutes every evening rather than scattered through the day. Disable push notifications so you don’t get the sporadic ping.
As more dapps crop up fragmentation is only going to get worse. A cool idea is a STEEM equivalent of the Forest app. “Get rewarded to stay focused”. The basic idea would be to set a timer on your smartphone during which you focus on a task (not using the phone). At the end of the block of time or end of the day, write a short summary of the experience, call it “proof of focus”, and post that to STEEM. Similar to Actifit’s “proof of activity”.

Yes you're right - fragmentation is a wider problem.
Some great advice there - easier said than done heeding it mind!
One of my students mentioned that forest app the other day - sounds interesting!

I have been drawn to Resteem this Steem related post for its interesting diagrams, lists, and humor :D
So I'm looking at this flow and thinking 'i couldn't work like that', and realising that it the likely reason Posts (the real work for me) take far to long.
'Collect 0.02 SP' would be in there too, 4/5 times over 30 minutes :D
I could have broken it down further, but I don't think the text would have been visible.
It's actually worse as I'm I'm often across @partiko and the desktop.
Thanks for the resteem!
I wish more world resist the pull to write about steem. One day the fabled communities feature might come and actually solve some of the fragmentary stuffs
I appreciate the irony here!
It's probably the only institution on earth worse than EU for proportion of money spent on itself.
I do try and limit my steem posts to only wknds, although I've got an additional mid week special this week.
It can be an annoyingly repetitive form of hyper-reflexivity.

Lol, the weekends are special... Anything goes!! :0D
Like.... Beers!
I'm currently resisting the urge to write about Steem and achieving this by not writing anything at all!
Definitely feel some great similarity with my own experience as I try to stick with a schedule or structure but seems as if I lose myself too often! However, I also think that this could be used for some great feedback as the ecosystem and the different Dapps seek ways to evolve and differentiate themselves as we go forward. I also think that the communities structure (Hivemind) could help a bit more with reliance on how the frontend is built. Reading these thoughts actually gets me excited more than frustrated as it just demonstrates how we can improve in the future.

Yes fair point, pages are what we really need I think, where you can create links to posts under themes.
I'm sure it'll come.
I imagine steempeak will get there first. I've now defaulted to it, you can still access the wallet in the same window!
Beautiful illustration here, you’re doing lovely here.

I am very new to Steem and I have to say you very much nailed my experience so far in just reading all of the posts here.
