RE: Hi - I'm Robert and I'm a cryptocurrency enthusiast from Germany (Posts in German and English)
Welcome to Steemit Robert! I think you'll find yourself right at home with the Steemit Community, and being bilingual will definitely play to your advantage!
Best of luck!
Hi @kbarret, I'm actively reading in this community for about a mounth and now I want to start contributing with my owns posts (:
Do you know if there is a guideline for posts in two languages? Do you post them both in one article, or is it common to seperate this posts?
Excellent question. I've seen very few bilingual posts here, so I'm not sure if I could give you a straight forward answer. However, if I were bilingual, I think I would post in separate articles. What you don't want to do is have your top article be in German and potentially lose the interest of English only readers. Or vice-versa, where you have German only readers that lose interest from seeing only the English language.
However, you could always try each way for a month and see how your followers and readers respond and make your decision then.
Thank you for taking the time and thinking about this problem for a second (:
I guess I will make both language posts simultaneously and will also publish them at the same time in different languages and tags... But I hope that this isn't interpreted as "spam" because they could appear two times with the same tag, like "crypto" for example...
I wouldn't think someone would flag it as spam... you're reaching out to two very different communities, most of which would only be capable of reading one of the two articles. If by chance you do get flagged for spam, at least you'll have your answer :)
Hm... sounds really reasonable yeah (:
I will try it that way and gather some feedback to see if that's the way the communities want to get their posts.
A last question: I would love to make like a central "hub" post where I can link specific topics to it, but I heard, that you can only edit your posts for 4 weeks... is that right? :/
I'm not 100% about the 4 week threshold, but there is definitely a time limit to when you can edit a previous post. However, you could always publish a new post that links back to the original. Something along the lines of: "In my previous post (insert link) I discussed..."
That would give your reader the ability to track back to the original thread for the background information before reading the rest of your updated commentary. There may be a better way, but that's one suggestion as a workaround for what you're trying to accomplish.
That could be a possible solution, true... But I would love to make a giant table with all important cryptocurrencies in it and stuff like inflation rates, roi etc... having this post one time would really help, but I guess I have to play by the rules and adapt to it (:
Yeah, while that would be awesome, I think you may just have to settle lol
