I don’t believe that is true. Looking at my feed right now I immediately see posts in the dTube, 3Speak, and Hive Pro Wrestling communities, none of which I subscribe to, but I am following the users who made the post. If someone I follow starts posting through dBuzz, their posts will appear in my feed regardless of me subscribing to the community itself.
But isn't thin only when they share it to their blog roll? Communities are meant to allow people to separate their content, right?
The only place communities currently keep posts from appearing is within a blog roll. Similar to how some interfaces allow for hiding re-blogs, this does allow creators to create a nice curated feed of posts for people who discover their page. But posts made into communities still show up in their followers feeds regardless of whether that follower is in the community, as well as in normal topic feeds based on tags, as well as on any algorithm type feeds like trending, new, or hot.
That makes them quite useless as topic filters. Imo, if posting in a community it should be contained, unless shared, although this might open it up for more abuse. The idea was separation of content and being able to segment what the audience sees. Perhaps there should be a option to "see all" or "see blog feed only"
I don't see it as too much different than other sites/social media's. We're used to being so small... but how often do you go to Reddit, FaceBook, Twitter, etc. and basically "browse all?" Communities still allow you to go to a certain community in expectation of discovering content on a theme, and allowing community moderators to curate within their community.
I don't really browse the Internet, I am one of those weirdos that uses it for specific uses.
But then, what is the issue with dbuzz, shouldn't we be encouraging all kinds of content buckets to catch all kinds of users?
I’m with you that I want all kinds of content on Hive. I personally don’t think the dBuzz developers have done anything wrong. I do put some responsibility on the major front ends right now for not excluding or presenting certain content in a different way.
