Introducing Steem-Agro Community in Steem-Alliance

Designed in Canva

Introduction

It is a privilege to have this golden opportunity to join the leagues of other well-meaning communities in Steem Alliance as we introduce our fast-growing community. Steem-Agro is a well-thought-out and focus-oriented community that represents a hub of all agricultural events and activities on steemit. As of the time of this publication, the community of an 8-month age has a subscriber base of 153 members with active members of 75 active posters. A number that keeps soaring daily.

Brief History of our Community

History was made for us in March 2024 when this great community came into reality. Steem-Agro community was created on the 6th day of March 2024 with the first community introduction post published to kick-start full-scale activities. Right from this day until it onboarded its MODs, the affairs of the community were managed by the founder/Admin. Though the introduction post came at a later moment, however, it is best launched properly.

This thought has been nurtured after a series of deliberations about how best to add this special content-themed agriculture to the ecosystem; however, I had to move on with this initiative. My good friend @ngoenyi was also significant in this path of thought.

The community quickly onboarded a co-admin and MODs who are instrumental to the daily running of the community and with vigor.

Steem-Agro's Purpose

Steem-Agro will be the largest publisher of agro matters in the ecosystem, with anticipated efforts tailored towards a simple and engaging creativity of all users, focus-driven to educate and practically demonstrate agro-related activities, capable of engaging and retaining all while active on Steemit.

Below are some Steem-Agro main purposes:
The community will be eagerly interested in ensuring that the needs of all agricultural participants are in check and well-catered at all times. Hence prioritizing this would be premiums for us.

Unifying all agro-lovers in the community would be key for us as we ensure an increase in activity and traffic in the community at all times through diverse initiatives.

There would be a combined effort to drive the Steem-agro community to the next level from all sides. This would not be limited to seeking the advice of the Steem Reps on the best ways to bring inclusiveness and overall growth.

Steem-Agro's Administration (Admins/MODs)

The community has a founder who founded the community on the 6th day of March 2024. He is one that we all know; @xkool24. However, other competent hands joined this community's administration both in the capacity of admin and mods.

Below is a tabular representation of active Admin and Moderators with their member roles.

The community management and administration are more ready to respond to all articles published in the community seamlessly without concerns. Capacity isn't an issue to the community any longer but rather the need to receive support accordingly vis-a-vis publications that needed to.

Type of Post Publication in Community

Users are at liberty to publish and interact within the community with an endless agro matter. Given the community is an agro-base space, it is open for all kinds of agricultural publications so far they are not abusive, incisive, or come with other forms of infractions.

Some of the topics that have been consistent in it and we also look forward to;

• Farming activities (Crop Yields)
• Animal Husbandry
• Seeding and Harvesting activities
• Processing activities
• Agro-food Preparations
• Agro-nature activities
• Other related agro activities

Our new contest initiative is also riding on this to give it more voice to what we do.

Community's Curation Details

The community account (@hive-118902) remains the curation account which serves as its official account for the #Steem-Agro community. The @hive-118902 has always remained the community's main and only curation account with delegations from members. The curation activity is solely handled by the admin or designated MOD to streamline abuse from multiple users. The community account has a total of 9,039.88 SP at the time of publishing this article. Also, as of the time of publishing, below are other stats of this reviewed community account.

We already have delegators in the community. We hope to grow this value through a concerted effort from all active members of the community for effective curation support.

The admin and/or designated MOD is solely responsible for handling curation activities, whereas publication reviews are jointly managed by both admins and moderators.

Policy for Checking Articles & Abuses

There are some key parameters designated as a priority for checking articles published in the community that are both steemitblog standard and also acceptable to standard users. Publications in the community are placed on an unsentimental review with assurances that no one is abused or community SOPs infringed.

However, some of the major policy-checking parameters done in the community include;

• Verified Users - (To reduce account farming in the community)

• Steem Exclusive - (this is to guarantee articles posted are first published in the community or Platform)

• Plagiarism-Free - (This is always unethical and hence published articles are checked for plagiarism)

• Abuses - (this is to ensure everyone coexists peacefully in the system without undue advantages. Violators are warned and possibly muted)

• Others - (this includes AI-generated articles and other projects that bring about infractions)

Pressing Concerns of the Community

As a community, we need support in terms of having the ability and capacity to curate publications made in its community without over-dependence on a system that isn't sure. This limits the scope of expansion and how much it can advance due to this limitedness and uncertainty of support.

The voting manna of the community despite its 100% isn't above $0.10. This makes the attraction to the community not viable enough to compete favorably with others. A possible and immediate solution may be from support via delegations to the community or daily support of a certain number of articles made daily in the community. Weekly and monthly support to the community account would also help it build SP better for curation as well as engage in activities to boost traffic and visibility therein.

Some Special Events Organized in the community

The community has continued to give back to members by organizing contest publications. As of today, we have one community contest and SEC contests that we are leveraging to keep the community in good shape. However, the third contest which is an individual contest on Agriculture & Arts would be launched later in the day.

This act has over time built the subscriber and active bases of the community and as well as promoting the community in a good light given its focus on coordinating all these events. However, there are plans to increase the number of organized events in the community so that participants can have new publications to read daily.

Conclusion

We look forward to this partnership as we promise to be consistent with the guidelines and requirements while promoting all of its events for purposes of a meaningful contribution to the steemit ecosystem.

Kind regards.
