TIL: '#til Steemit Posts' Were Trending! I Witnessed It. I Recorded It! Here's Evidence!
Well, here is something i learned today and it is going to be plain and short. I am laying it bare or putting it out as i know that not everyone on steemit knows this!
A tiny vision started like a bit more than a week ago, to allow for steemit users to get rewarded even for 'short posts with links', so as to allow a bit more space for fun on steemit and to attract redditors, is bearing fruit!
For today, the subcategory TIL was trending! I witnessed it
In the picture below, you will find that posts tagged TIL filled up the trending category earlier today and this was a joy to see:
According to their vision:
Jumpstarting New Tags, Rewarding Comments, Boosting Engagement and Going Viral!
Today, we’re starting to reward new categories such us #funny and #til where you’ll be rewarded well for posting AND commenting with good content in these tags. Yes, comments will be rewarded too! Because human interaction is one of the most important aspects not only of social media, but in life itself. On addition to that, we’re also jumpstarting the #news tag on Steemit to make sure that people get rewarded well for posting and commenting on news stories. Let’s face it, most people get their news today from social media. So why go elsewhere to get your news updates while you can get rewarded for posting and commenting here in this amazing platform?
This tiny vision to making steemit a better place is bearing fruit.
Kudos to @donkeypong, @the-alien, @roelandp, @smooth, @berniesanders, @nextgencrypto, @donkeypong!
And thanks to @sykochica for making me write my first post under TIL.
Today, i saw TIL POSTS trending!
Overall, if you didn't already know, this is a testimony! Why not join the trend and tell us something you learnt today?
Let's Grow Steemit!
Nice post. Very good read.
thank you alot. i made it pretty short. i hope the image was visible enough!
Til didn’t seem to work for me the first time I posted, but I’ll keep trying til you know un-til til becomes a better place for tilling, (or posting til?) Maybe tomorrow I’ll learn that today I learned to til, or is that yesterdays til? ;)
@lightsplasher, it will work the next time you do it! you can talk to me a steemchat. i think time zone is a bit of a factor. but if that is out, just a few other tweaks and it will work and i believe now more than later. and it doesnt have to be lenghty. a short one. you can build around a youtube video, you know! or perhaps something you learnt on steemit, there is also the funny tag or news. although i havent really tried the news one but i have seen news posts that had interaction
Yeah, there is definitely a timing factor to publishing. Getting that initial set of views helps stop posts from getting lost in the sea of other posts. A little visibility goes a long way!
thank you for helping us @justtryme90. i just tried you!
Almost. In the view you have posted you can see that #til is highlighted in the right hand column - that means it is only showing the trending posts in the til category. If you click on home, then click on trending it will take you back to the general trending list.
oh yes, i started to learn that now. i am still learning. You are already so versed here for you to snappily spot that. thank you tho!
NP:)
