Cura-INCEPTION: Curation of Curations post. We are all Curators.
Hello again... Priscilla here again... (Pris for friends). Most of you know me as a musician and artist (or that fantasy geeky girl that plague you with rats memes on discord) but as you know I was awarded a delegation from @msp-makeaminnow and this month we have a special set of posts... Who knows maybe I will continue to make them after the period of one month expires... Yes, I know we are experiencing some shaky times with the HF20 but hang in there people... just be patient... Meanwhile all of these were upvoted before it took place and the winners of the challenge will get their transfer shortly.
The main topic of this blog post today will be CURATION TEAMS
Of course I can't feature all of them, there are plenty, and still there are NOT enough. Which ones are your favourites? Which ones have supported you the most? It doesn't matter if it's a big team or a simple user doing compilations. The double C (Curation and Community), I think those are the avatars of Goodness in this platform... so here we go with some love back.
We all or curators. The power of encouragement
As I said in my previous curation post, WE ARE ALL CURATORS Everyone can provide a meaningful feedback to someone, and even if you have the smallest vote, a meaningful review is always going to encourage. No one wants to share content into silent echoing halls... we all welcome feedback and it's my message to all newbies and plankton accounts that you do have a voice. Your comment can make someone's day. Said that I have to add that of course we are grateful to all the CURATION TEAMS that makes the community a bit fairer. Some of them are well known like @curie others are humbler in resources but all of them play a key role keeping the community engaged.
Of course we try our best to upvote the selected underrated steemians in them but do not forget to support the CURATION teams... by voting them as witnesses, by interacting with them in their discord channels, by simply upvoting their compilations... so they can continue to do their job.
Said this first of all I am going to announce the...
Winners of previous Engagement challenge
First of all, in reference to my previous YIDNETH music and Curation post I posted al little contest.
Rules were simple. To post a meaningful review to ANY artist (writer, musician or visual) and provide a link to your review. So as simple as that, making a fellow steemian creator happy. Winners of that challenge are:
- @elisonr13 for his encouraging feedback to musician @mayneth
- @betzaelcorvo commenting on a song by @cabelindsay
- @sunravelme commenting to poet @ericvancewalton
These three users will receive 1 STEEM each simply for having posted a meaningful encouraging comment to a fellow steemian. And thanks for participating.
PD. This Challenge will be renewed in forthcoming Music and Curation post. STAY TUNED!
Featured Curations: CURATIONS OF CURATIONS.... CURA-INCEPTION!
The following curated posts are curations. We usually forget sometimes to provide support to the curators so they can continue delivering their love. Also please make sure to check the recommendations as I think all these small curation teams are an amazing way to filter high quality content and discover talent on the platform. So if you see a post featured that you think is in tune with what you are interested in, please show your love. As long as I have this delegation I will cast a full vote on their curations... curation-inception
@Curie as usual is doing their be-weekly author showcase promoting underrated high quality content content and newcomers. While I'm having the MAM delegation I'm trying to catch up with the curations and please support them as well so they can continue doing their work. From my behalf thanks to Curie and all manual curation teams on Steemit.
Their counterparts @c-squared and @c-cubed are also doing a great job doing manual curation posts. You can also join the C² Discord community to participate as a curator.C-squared is a partner of witness @steemcommunity witness, a project of @abh12345 & @paulag that try to encourage positive engagement interaction.
@yougotsnekked is a curation run by @poeticsnake and team that make these curation compilations just for the sake of helping fellow steemians. Thank you my sweet snekky friend, you deserve all the apples in the world. They also have a discord channel and community in case you want to help
@juliakponsford publish a weekly selection of Steemit artists called "Ocean of Art". This is week number 52 and is full of talent so support the curation post and read to branch out into some talented

@votovzla is a team/community that promotes and motivates Spanish-speaking users. Not only they translate important and relevant information and news about the blockchain into Spanish but also have several initiatives to curate authors like "Autores de la Semana" (Authors of the Week). You can see and support the post here.
Featured contests run by curators
@llfarms gave away a ticket to Steemfest
Amazing Justine @LLfarms did not win the contest to win a ticket to go to Steemfest but on the other hand bought a ticket for herself and an extra ticket as give away for another minnow wanting to go. She is not only an excellent @curie curator but also has one of my favourite feeds and a heart of gold. Fortunate winning minnow was @evecab (wee! so well deserved) and as soon as things stabilize and you can vote again please support LLfarms generosity.
@curie is also running an engagement contest. The fact that you see a post curied doesn't mean they "have enough" and you should not bother in commenting. As an author you should know that we all want to be read, seen or watched. That's a pivotal part of a community and network. So Curie came with the idea of rewarding also comments on the curied posts. You don't need to sign in, just leave feedback on meaningful posts.
@isaria (featured in our previous curation post) is not only a talented musician but is devoted to curate music and art on Steemit. On a weekly basis "Snibby the cat" delivers love to the art and music submissions that she shares every Monday.
Goodness of the platform: The double C: (Curation + COMMUNITIES)
@helpie is a WITNESS now! So please help @helpie help you by voting for them.
By the way Helpie has its own initiatives on the discord platform to motivate people to engage and participate. The League of Helpienauts (hosted and organized by @paulag) rewards most and Shilling Fridays a show where the community members promote each others posts... Because it's not about ourselves but about US
@thealliance also has a very active discord channel in which the environment is friendly, they also compile curations regularly to promote their members.
Also Steemit Ramble discord and PYPT (Pimp your post Thursday) show hosted by @shadowspub provides a cozy environment where you can promote your post... but also promote the posts of your friends The same applies to @Isaria and @swelker-101 curation show on Sunday focused on Art and Music.
And these are only a few... probably editing this post to add a few more... but drop your love in the comments, so your favourite curation initiatives get a mention.
I will UPVOTE some of your recommendations during the week :)... It's your time TO HELP WHO HELPS YOU!
Always grateful to communities like @yougotsnekked @thealliance and @helpie among others for providing a FAMILY The ocean is very vast little minnows...
But we are not alone
Charities of the Day
@Lindahas has shared with us another week to collect funds for healthy snacks for A the @SchoolForSDG4 project but the STEEM. This weekly post here.
Thank you @msp-makeaminnow
Disclaimer: These curations posts are being sponsored by the 5000 SP temporary delegation (a month period) I got from @msp-makeaminnow contest from PAL discord. So consider to delegate to them and be an active member of PAL to be eligible for future rounds or be able to cast your vote for those steemians you find worth. Thanks once more. Of course besides the curation I'm trying to increase the diaspora of my votes to find new talent and I've doubled the number of different users I usually vote per week all manually. Intention is to increase next week as the number of votes this week may be a bit compromised because of the hard fork. But don't worry... I'll spread it as thin and wide as possible next week!!!
Links to previous YIDNETH CURATION POSTS
All of these were voted full vote before HF20 took place and if you want to support them you can vote for them once you are able, but meanwhile drop in comments your favourite curation teams and initiatives so I can vote for them myself when possible

Please remind me to resteem this in a few days when everyone has a little more VP!
Thank you for curating the curators @yidneth! :D
don't forget to resteem :)
Aw thanks, it was just ready to go and managed to vote before HF. Sometimes you have to give up for what you receive, grateful
Yes you do 😊 Please do remind me, these teams need as much visibility as possible!
Still working on understanding all the voting/curating stuffs.. I still don't think I get it with the voting/curating power up/down. I'm glad I can post again and vote, some people are saying wait to post? I actually, don't understand what curation and all that even means DOOH! I'm glad they gave you power to figure it all out.... also, I clicked link @swelker-101 doesn't work maybe something with the fork?
you're right it was mispelled though I'll correct it later on, now editing seems to take too much resources, it's without the hypen, Shane @swelker101 has teamed with @isaria and teamed to @steemcreative so had to recast my vote, they're both great people.
Curation is when you comment and vote on others, you also get rewars for that, though with a selfless mind that is not something you should be concerned unless you have a big account. Curating is "promoting others"
Thanks @yidneth! I think I saw this a little late ... if you do a good job supporting many friends and members. Happy Thursday
Oh do not worry hf20 was in the middle of it, thanks for participating. I am on a trip but will post another when I get back.
Thanks for the mini contest and the award given. I feel very happy, a great idea to encourage our friends who are a great role model in our community. greetings to all .
Due to the HF I was waiting a few days but count with your steem in your wallet shortly and thanks for participating, there should be another Music and Art curation shortly if you want to give a try again:)
But so far I think it should be safe later today to make all three transfers!
Your reward was already sent :) thanks for participating :)
This is so great Pris! Thank you for the shout out and for spreading the word about some amazing curation initiatives on the platform. Love this, you are amazing my dear ❤️
I have another one coming but I need the voting power to regenerate to be fair. It will include again the giveaway of some steem to people who go on others profiles and can leave me proof of meaningful review or comment. Meanwhile all of these were given a full upvote before the hardfork took place and hope people will find your ways once they get ability to.
And oh my dear, it's you the amazing superhero of the day!!
you are doing great things on the platform, happy we will meet soon :)
You mean llfarms? Yes, she is amazing, agreed heartily
exactly who I mean..love love to both of you :)
Thank you @yidneth! This is such a helpful curation of curations! I found a couple I wasn't aware of and of course thanks for the support for PYPT.
Missed last Thursday cos I was hiking with friends. But I love the show and grateful to it.
great post rat queen :) love me some @llfarms and so happy work is being done to get people to steemfest :) I still hope you can come...this is my dream to meet you
Thank you Pris. I love the Cura-Inception! So many wonderful Steemians out there helping people...including you!❤️

Aw She is the best, Will do my transfer of previous challenge later today. For this one it is just recommending curators, no active contest in this one. Likely again in next art and music curation. I liked the idea.
