RE: A Minor Bug I found (+Update)
Can a community resteem posts from another communities or from another users? This feature would definitely help.
I think I can answer this question for you, but only logically, without knowing the inner workings of communities.
If you use the resteem button at the bottom of a community post, it will resteem the post to your personal blog (meaning the account which is logged in). That works for a community you are part of or one you are just browsing and reading posts.
For a post to be resteemed to the community, I believe, although I'm not sure, that the account owner of the community should resteem the post. The one named "hive-xxxx". Unless there is another option I'm not familiar with. Maybe admins or mods should have this power as well, if they don't?
hm.. i just tried but i don't think it works. One thing i didn't try is to resteem from an hive account "hive-xxxx" but i suppose that's just another account with hive name on it.
I think the functionality needs to be separately developed.
You mean something like "Resteem to blog" and "Resteem to community"? The issue with this is probably not all members should be allowed to resteem to the community or the community feed may be filled with resteems.
No, "hive-xxxxxx" accounts are not just simple accounts. They are the OWNER accounts of the communities.
That's why I said resteeming from it should work to resteem to the entire community, but I doubt this is a long term solution, as this account is not meant to be used to post/resteem/vote.
Right now I can't test any further. It looks like access has been password protected again on the beta site.
I'm addressing to "Resteem to community" from another community or from another user outside of the community. And I've created two hive accounts already. So, I was trying from an admin account but there's no such functionality. I can try with hive owner account but an admin account should be possible to do it if the function is already developed.
Update :
I just tried with an hive account and there's no "resteem to community" thing. You can only resteem to your blog at the moment. I suppose accounts with mod, admin & owners should have the possibility to resteem anything from outside of the community to their community if the functionality is going be developed in the future.
From the hive account, just use the 'resteem' option and see what happens. Normally, as far as I understand it, the resteemed post should be visible to the entire community.
I agree this functionality should be available, probably at the mod level.
I'll wait till further notice from the team.
Ok, please let me know if it worked if you try it.
