RE: OCD community changes and community incubation announcement

in OCD4 years ago (edited)

First of all, lovely to see this effort being made by OCD to help other communities gain traction. I definitely believe it's good to have the ideas of communities grow and be more spread out across the eco-system!

As I am sure you know I am the founder of @pinmapple (@steemitworldmap back in the days) and Haveyoubeenhere. As @pinmapple is a broad tool for people wanting to GEO-tag their posts, we really want people to be entirely free to choose the community they post in. Yet we do have a strong curation effort going on for Travel content coming through the map. Every day we go through all posts pinned to the map and feature the best content in our daily #traveldigest. The best content is currently being rewarded with an upvote from @pinmapple and our top 3 can currently count on an upvote from @theycallmedan as well!

We also have the Haveyoubeenhere community, where posts coming from our app are being posted too (as it has a higher focus on traveling). These posts are also pinned to @pinmapple automatically. It's still in its infancy, but we're actively looking for ways to grow it. All content is in a streamlined format, which makes it easy on the eyes for readers!

I will get in touch to see if there is a way we can find a way to work together with @ocd for either or both @pinmapple or Haveyoubeenhere. Any support from @ocd could definitely enhance not only the Haveyoubeenhere community but both the @pinmapple and Haveyoubeenhere projects even more and the entire Travel community that benefits from these!

The travel community is one that consistently delivers high quality but sadly we've seen some authors drifting away due to lack to support. Hopefully this initiative, plus the restart of @trendthis, and the work that @Pinmapple and Haveyoubeenhere are doing will encourage travellers to return to Hive
