WHAT DO YOU THINK OF COMMUNITIES?
I am one of you who was excited when steemit team announced about arriving the communities. I am so excited also because it's easier to write a content in specific community. It's easier to be seen by the curators that we always wanted to curate most of our content. I'm so happy that because of community we can work as one. We can support each other by joining every community (not all content will be supported even though you'll write it in that specific community.)
I'm not sugar coating my words about this community because actually I'm loving it. Who wouldn't love to join in a community where your work can be supported? (not all) I know it already and you know it already how amazing to be in a community. But there is a big BUT into this. It's not that I'm complaining. I'm writing this kind of content because I thought I was being unfair to other communities.
I am bothering of it because some of my post was visited by some steemians that if I want to see my post in their communitie. I should make a post in their. Then it made me worried for a bit and worried. I don't want to post of course if it's not related topic to that community. There are some communities have rules to make sure they'll support you. But sometimes my content will be related in 2 or more communities.
I began to be worried just an hour ago because the tag that I used in my contents. That tags that I used by the way were belong in three(3) communities. While I was searching of my content that was tag in 3 communities. I noticed that I only saw my content in the first tag that I used. I don't want to be bias or having a favorite one community. I would not definitely do that because the communities that I wanted to use supporting me most of the time.
I'm not assuming here like what's special with my thoughts. If it's not for the others, it's just for myself even though I'm not that important. I'm just wondering because I felt ashamed not using the communities tags. Honestly, I wanted to use it all of you guys but I don't know how to do it. Maybe it will be fine for the tags that has no community. Like #steem, #busy or many older tags that I already using. My content or my presence maybe not that important. But I'm just hoping that my contents will go or arrived into the communities that I used the tags.
Isn't it amazing that even though there's a community already. Your post can also be found in that community even though you didn't write in their community or just use their tags. Is my thoughts no sense at all for you or for everyone? I don't want to offend someone but it's just my opinion about community. I want to hear your thoughts about this as well.
Thank you for reading and sorry for opening this up.

So far, it's a giant mess. Steem has just became a lot more chaotic. We wouldn't even need communities if people were using tags that relate to their content. The only reason the communities were created was because the tags in Steem are a complete bulshit, used to attract the attention of others and saying nothing about the content of the post.
yeah, you're correct about it. But look at the comment above. He has a point as well, it's about abusing the tag. Now I'm a little bit ashamed why I wrote like this. lol
Whatever hiccups are going on with implementing communities, IMO, this has been the biggest positive change on the platform that I've seen. Something to assist in sorting topics of interest.
The tagging system was ridiculous and abused, people would just throw the tags up that they expected would get the best response, and nothing to do with the actual content.
This 'feature' is likely just a remnant from how tags were used.
Even though I still believe that the move was too little and far too late to stop the downward spiral of Steem.
Yep. And with the tribes it got even worse.
If we only add tags describing the post, unfortunately, it will be invisible. So we all end up using tags such as palnet, neoxian, creativecoin, etc... to reach a wider audience.
But this new change, it's still very confusing to me. Maybe it will be clearer once eSteem and Busy integrate it. Right now, I don't see the point in it.

I like the idea of communities for specific topics - photography, poetry, and so forth. I'm not such a big fan of generic communities that are just promising big payouts.
Thanks for sharing on #pypt
I personally believe they've created a division and made it harder or find content 😏

Keep up the great work and join us in The Castle sometime!
The #spreadlovenotwar curation campaign is under the guidance of witnesses @enginewitty and @untersatz.
Not sure yet; still navigating my way through the changes. Luckily I've had some veteran steemians who have given me tips and I've been reading some posts... like all things, change takes time.
