It's been a little while since hive communities were introduced and as far as I know they seem to be working well; I see them as a great place to find like-minded people, and people in general, because expanding one's network is so important here; *Reaching new people to build relationships with is pivotal. Essentially, there's great benefit in posting one's content specifically into a relevant community in my opinion.
A few I'd like to share
👉 Planet Auto - The word auto should be a good clue as to what this community is all about. If it's vehicle-related this is the place to put it. Whether it's motor-racing, vehicle-maintenance, a showcase of your own vehicle or an automotive product review this community is suited...Anything automotive related is welcome. Thanks @planetauto.
👉 Rant, Complain, Talk - This new community, set up by @cmplxty, offers people a place to drop their complaints, rant-posts and general thoughts about just about anything. Had a bad retail service experience, a neighborhood or work dispute, want to rant about the pandemic or an environmental concern, or just voice your thoughts...Here's where to do it.
👉 Toys on Hive - This community welcomes content about anything toy-related. It could be the showcase or demonstration of a toy, a favourite from the past, something your children play with, a toy you would like to own, even a story from your past about a toy. Remember, adults have toys too, so virtually anything could be relevant here. Thanks @livinguktaiwan for this fun community.
👉 Self Improvement - A place to share your thoughts on life, how to get the best from it, maintain positivity, talk about goals, share uplifting stories or those of adversity that brought enlightenment. Share your triumphs, setbacks and what you learned from them plus your fears and hopes - Your story could help someone else through a tough time or inspire them greatly! Set up by @stevenwood it is a friendly place to open up and share one's experiences and thoughts with a focus on development and growth.
👉 The Pew - A niche community set up to cater to those interested in hunting, fishing, prepping, firearms, survival, archery or military-related content. Want to share how to preserve food, build a shelter, survival techniques or stories, your latest hunting or fishing experience, or showcase your latest firearm...You could even ask questions in post-format on these topics.
👉 Engage the Weekend - This community covers literally any topic as long as it is related in some way to the weekend...But you don't have to wait until the weekend to post it! It doesn't have to relate to the current weekend...If it happened on a weekend, or is about a weekend then it's welcome here. This is also the home of the #weekend-engagement topic post that comes out every Friday.
👉 Lego - It's about Lego y'all, quite obviously. This very small community invites users to post about anything Lego-related from your builds, stories from the past, sets one wants, stop-motion videos, what your kids are playing with...Anything about Lego.
👉 Inner Blocks - This community focuses on real-life experiences and encourages people to get after it, to seek the best from their lives and to share it! All topics are covered here, just make it about life, real life, and your own experiences. Thanks to @freedompoint for this one!
That was my turn
These are but a few communities I subscribe to and there are many more. I showcase these to demonstrate the diversity the hive community represents and that there is a community for just about any purpose.
Just on communities, when you post in them your post will appear on your posts feed on your own page. If you want them to also appear in your blog feed you'll need to re-blog your own post to your blog. If you don't know how to do that just comment below and I'll explain it. If you don't want it in your blog feed then it's all good.
There are communities that people post into in the hope of gaining a whale vote and that's a person's personal prerogative - But there's a wider world out there and relying on whale votes that may eventually disappear won't help you build your relationships - It's a little like giving a starving man a fish which he can eat once, or teaching him to fish so he can eat for life.
Supporting communities, getting involved, commenting and engaging with others on their posts, will put you on their radar and draw them to your own - That's how you build sustainable income here and communities are a great resource and stage to showcase your own work!
Now it's your turn
I invite you to comment below with your community suggestions.
Please make sure you do a little text description of each to introduce it and you may like to tag the owner/admin of the community to alert them and give them the chance to add comments or to answer any questions others may have.
Please keep in mind that each community has its own set of rules and guidelines which are usually enforced. All of them promote original content only, no plagiarism and community-minded behaviour but some will also not permit cross-posting, graphic images and so on. The rules and community description can be found to the right of the main page so take the time to read it.
So...There's little else to say except...
Go! 😁
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
