RE: Some small progress on the subreddit
I have come to Steemit from reddit. Being honest I love the depth of the huge community on reddit but the chance to earn a little bit has made me favor steemit.
It would be cool to have a reddit like interface for steem
I came to discover Steemit via Google search autosuggestion tool while searching for a better alternatives to Minds. From there, a whole new world of blockchain and cryptocurrency understanding opened up to me and changed the way I look at the internet for ever.
Minds looked promising, but, then it went nowhere. It feels to me that they are struggling to monetise their platform. When facing something like Steemit, they can't compete.
I agree! But Minds got a cool and elegant website design which is fresh looking to our eyes though. Several big name intellectuals are using their platform as a blogging service.
My four (4) major concerns about Minds, if they can get a way around it I might consider utilizing their platform for content marketing purposes.
Poorly optimize permalink for blog post which contains generic alphanumeric characters.
Lack of proper categorization in the infinite scroll for blog posts.
Cluttered commenting system which is very user unfriendly to navigate.
Poor font choice and text size particularly in the comment section.
The best thing about Minds is that, it is truly a censorship-resistant platform. The freedom of expression there is miles ahead of Steemit, truth be told.
I would agree with you on all of your points.
Can you please point me to the big names you are referring to on Minds?
I am rather disappointed with the quality of what I see in my feed.
"Minds is truly censorship-resistant", yes, the owners of the site seem to allow people free reign on what they post, however, the platform is still centralised. While internal censorship is not in play, external censorship could shut it down. Where as Steemit is decentralised and thus more resistant to external censorship.
Same here, convert from reddit to Steemit.
I've never been much of a Reddit fan. Steem was recommended and I fell into a great group of folks over at #steemsilvergold. I've been hooked ever since.
I discovered Steemit, by mispelling steam on Google... best typo so far, I reckon
Haha, a typo that could potentially make you rich ;)
Haha, that's hilarious
@constantinep that is the best STEEM discovery story I have heard. Sounds like the universe had a new way for you to pay for your games on steam by leading you to STEEM. If you think about it you can buy a game and write a review about it and share a video of it and earn more in Steem and SBD than the game cost you. Mining crypto with creativity oh Yeah!
hahaha now we are getting creative !
Earning from what is essentially a social media site?!?
What could be better
World peace and all that stuff would be better :P
it would be very favorable for many people, greetings
Crypto will save the world or kill it
This is a genius idea. I think the way Reddit is organized into subreddits is one of the best features. Reddit is my go-to place when I'm interested in how other people feel about different topics.
Yeah, that's true, and I do that as well. I am really looking forward to seeing how things will become here on Steemit once the Communities are released!
They have Communities planned? Can you link to (or offer) more information? I think that's an exciting upgrade.
You can read about it in the 2017 Roadmap at page 9. There is not too much info about it yet, but we'll get it some day ;)
