One thing, though, is that not all Reddit groups allow hive links; I have been communicating with the moderator in the food group this morning. They claim that I violated the rules because of the link, it is a self-promotion, and I was banned from a food group.
Maybe we can warn participants to avoid certain groups to prevent disappointment. I hope we can also share other places to push the hive. Thank you for the opportunity; I know it is hard work for you guys, too.
Yup. Every subreddit has a list of rules on the right. Some don't want links. Some even say you can post a link but you should be a creator of this content. Or r/Vietnam (1.2M) says "Travel blogs/vlogs are generally discouraged" so you can understand nothing from this. Some mods ask to engage in the sub and only then you are allowed to share your links. Etc. Much depends on how good the shared Hive article is for a particular sub. Some subs openly say "If you self-promote and we see only shared links on your account, we'll ban you". So... Read the rules when you join a new subreddit.
That's why we collect Hive-friendly subs to make it easier for new people to join the program: here and look at the top comment below, some more subs but still not included in the table.
You should revise how you share links - look at the rules above.
This is a preview of your share, no link is visible. Your previous shares were counted for contest #4 since nobody told you and you are new on Reddit.
Thank you for being understanding about me being new to this. I had assumed there was an agreement between Reddit and RedditPosh regarding link sharing, so I went ahead and shared without realizing it could be an issue for others.
Regarding the share you mentioned, someone kindly made me aware that there was no link, so I deleted it and reposted it with the link. I truly appreciate that you’ve included it in the contest despite that.
There’s so much online I still need to understand, and I’m grateful for people like you who guide me along the way. I’ll also check out the link to the subreddit you mentioned—thank you for sharing it!
Just make sure that a Hive link you have shared is visible from your account's main page: www.reddit.com/user/Express_Classic_1569/ This means a link is generally visible from the preview so viewers on subreddits will see your link from the preview too.
Sure. The whole Redditposh is in the process of creation here and now, and we all test and learn. We are early in this program and the contest so we are getting very generous rewards as pioneers along with experiencing bugs or mistakes. Like, my best share in the last contest with 42 upvotes didn't get a Redditposh comment so I got no $HIVE reward for this share 😤 But okay.
There are many hundreds of such subreddits. We can collect some to help newbies to start.
Thanks for the heads-up about the visibility of the link. I'm quite happy to take on some challenges during the initial process if it helps the group.
I’ve shared in the crochet group and am hoping to pull a few for needlework, but their rules mention "self-promotion." It seems more focused on personal projects rather than community links. Maybe double-check that for us.
I’ll try the crocheting group next; it seems okay with the rules. The macramé group doesn’t allow self-promotion, but I posted there naively and didn’t face any issues. However, I’m a little hesitant to try again as I might get permanently banned.
Foraging seems reasonable, but I’m unsure how much sharing I can do there, even though my posts would likely be helpful for some.
I’ll update you on anything else I find. 👍
Mycology doesn’t seem to be on the list, but it doesn’t say links are not allowed. Maybe it’s worth trying there, too, and we'll see how it goes!
