The most underused Hive feature?

Good afternoon buzzers!

Spooky day to you!

I had almost forgotten about the page breaks I made a couple of years back. This was just after starting my Hive journey proper. I tried to offer graphics to other users here on Hive and got a couple of bites, however, I never made my millions! Go figure! The good ole days when everything felt like it would take off!

I wouldn't say creativity was my strong point, but god loves a trier as the saying goes.

You're more than welcome to use my page breaks on your posts this spooky hallow day! (No mention needed) Or save them for next year, or laugh at how...great they are!

Looking back, with the current abilities of AI, my images were...great! We'll leave it at that! I think the spider one is my favourite, although, my Xmas ones are better! I'll save those for a couple of months time!

Does the Zombie one show? Or has it turned ghost! - Seems it's showing a few minutes after I uploaded it, i guess it's just a little sloth!


Moving on! That wasn't the point of this post, although it's great to reminisce!

The most overlooked/undervalued Hive feature?

The REBLOG button!

How often do you treat yourself to smashing that reblog button and sharing a post you've enjoyed with your followers? I know I underuse it. Why doesn't it get the attention it deserves? I mean, I'm bad for reading a post, liking/commenting then doing nothing else, I often forget to even follow the authors, which means missing out on their future posts.

However, the reblog button is a great way to share quality content creators with others. We all think we're making the most of Hive, yet sometimes a little reblog can make all the difference in a post's reach.

When was the last time you reblogged a post? Why did you reblog it? Or why don't you use the reblog button?

I know one of my issues with it previously had been sharing the post meant it now showed on my blog, so oftentimes my created posts would be hidden under reblogged posts of other users. Should we allow reblogs that share posts in the timeline without putting them on your main blog or profile, or is it a good idea to have them on your blog/profile?

I guess it's sort of like Dbuzz...lots of users were keen on the idea of short form, but didn't want their timeline clogged up with short posts. Having a 'container' post which housed all short-form posts was a genius idea! Should we do the same for reblogs? Could this be a way to increase the attractiveness of reblogging? (or is it only me who has that issue with them? Clearly, I'm now starting to realize the value of the reblog button, I might even start reblogging more posts!)


That's my sloth thought of the day, and, here's a creepy sloth since it's Halloween!

Well, I'm off to play some PEPE-game and see what candy I can earn! Until next time,

Sloth out!

I reblog whenever I make a comment. On the basis that my blog feed shows all content that I'm involved with. As opposed to my post feed that just shows the miserable, tiny amount of my original posts.

BTW, nice page breaks.

When using Peakd, the 'blog' feed on a profile comes up first, which shows reblogs. Whereas 'all posts' only show user-created posts.

I can't help but think it should be the other way around, your blog feed should show your blog, whilst 'all posts' would be a great way to show everything you're involved with. But maybe that's just me...

I appreciate you stopping by. Commenting/liking and sharing is a great way to be involved with the chain without having to create your own content. Hive needs all kinds of users!

I agree.

Nice page breaks!
I've mixed feelings about the reblog button ... I don't like too many reblogs in my feed from people I haven't chosen to follow. I'll unfollow anyone who reblogs too ferociously.
But these page breaks are cute, so I'm going to reblog this time round ;)
I think the most underused button is Tips. I'll rectify that, right now!

Wow! Thank you so much for the tip! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the tip button (or perhaps I’ve been wilfully ignoring it)!

I’m still conflicted on the reblog button so it’s nice to hear other people opinions.

Reblog is great, in moderation, some users reblog fluffing everything and your feed is flooded with nonsense.

Good to see you back posting pretty regularly!
