Because my blog and the community - any community - are two different places, like your house and the supermarket might be.
Now I get why I have my blog and my posts and finally understood why not all of my posts are shown on my blog. Still tricky. I was wondering why I can resteem my own posts, but now it makes sense. I guess I will have to resteem the ones that are posted in communities to have them on my blog as well. We wanted communities...now we have them.
@jaynie, there will always be haters, and I reckon there's a lot to be said that I'll add in another post later. I do think I'm not upvoting any crossposts unless they come from community leaders, for reasons I'll explain. As community leaders, I think we have a big role to play in this. We should chat.
I have stopped using Esteem - will be interesting to see how other front ends, dapps and yes, mobile apps, modify their UI to suit the new Steeempeak>Steemit features that are pretty cool. xx Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for continuing to clarify all these changes! Lots of good stuff, but definitely gets a little confusing at first. I haven't posted or been on much in the last week, but hoping the week ahead I'll finally have some time to catch up and play around. :)
I'm thrilled that Communities are finally up and live! They have been promised for so long, so that's great to see.
I'm getting used to the new interface; but overall it's a pretty nice gig. The cross-posting thing has the potential to become a horrible nightmare of clutter... not because of anything WE do, but because the greater community is FILLED with what I call "Fractional Penny Miners" whose only concern is to extract every possible 0.001 Steem by whatever means and trickery possible. Which can become a mess of cross-posting the same generic post to 20 communities.
I've seen something like that happen on other "rewards for content" sites where the interface allowed it... I just hope it doesn't happen here.
I totally agree - I actually posted this early by accident, but I'd added a whole addendum to this post I wanted to share. Actually, @tarazkp wrote brilliantly on this today. I'll still post about it I think.
hehhehe I was just writing about this as well because it is SO much that is still kind of a mystery to me. I have jst used the resteem function and that works good. You would say that Steempeak is your go-to place? I always liked busy because of the interface but they are lacking these communty functions..
You explanation is actually really good on it...letting it sink in.....
This clears up a lot of confusion I have been having.
Still swirling my head around how communities work. Many unanswered questions since they have been released. For one, how does something you post in a tribe get automatically added to a community like you mentioned?
I was thinking about building a community, but wasn't sure what happens if others want to own the same community, or if the admin goes defunct.
You can transfer ownership of your community easily enough by making someone admin, and giving them the keys. MAking a community actually makes an account with keys you have control over.
When I meant posting in tribe, I meant on www.naturalmedicine.io. It's just a bit of a code that has been added that just adds the COMMUNITY tag to it automatically, telling it to put it in that community.
If someone else wants to own same community, they can't unless you give them rights or the keys. They CAN however, call a community by the same name and poach users with a better deal. I can't stop anyone creating a natural medicine community, for example.
At the moment I cannot grasp why a non-tribe owner would want to build a community.
Seems like tribes and communities (and eventually SMT's) are meant to be used together, to reward the posting of content they want to see created.
Still, I am bewildered by the distint separation caused by adding communities. With limits on how many tribe tags we can use, it seems we are now further limited by which communities can view a post. I am not sure why I would want to stop posting to my blog as my primary choice to pick up various small tribe rewards.
Perhaps commmunities exist to ensure tribe tokens are more likely to be rewarded to content mostly exclusive to the matching tribe, rather than generalized posts aimed at pilfering from as many tribes as possible. I am not sure.

Fab, glad you understood!!
Yeah I have not heard many positives regarding the whole cross posting thing today... have not tried it myself though.

Yes. I think I know where you are coming from on that standpoint.
This is something I will have to look at. Esteem has none of these updates.
Crossposting....sounds interesting

It's super simple once you know how. I like to help, and I know people are asking a lot of questions, so I wanted to make it simple.

I have totally forgotten about Busy. Steempeak is the love of my life.

Does it plunk into two communities if you use both tags, do you know?
I'm actually not entirely sure about this, perhaps I should test on my next post. Yes, is my gut feeling, if you are using that community's tag.
