RE: What are the most important pillars in your life?

in OCD2 years ago

You kind of nailed it as I couldn't have written it better. All these are important in life as without them, life would be a lot poorer.

This one is very easy to leave out and one could try to make the point that money is not needed in order to gain happiness, and in a sense that is true, but for the life that I lead, money is neccessary.

Money is not needed in order to gain happiness, but it helps a lot, right?

I'd like to suggest Self Improvement next time for this type of topics, where you can read similar stories and also connect with people interested in making life better.

I'm not sure if I have dropped you my suggestions before. If not let me do it now :) Also please let me know if you need any help.

We have different communities on Hive and we're encouraging users to post in the right community based on the topic of the post. OCD is for topics that don't fit in any other community and should be used when you don't find a niche community for your post.

Here's a guide I put together to help you learn about how communities work and why you should use them -> Communities Explained - Newbie Guide. I also put together a list of communities, which is not complete, there are much more communities on Hive, but it will help you get started.

Once you posted your post in the right community, you can then cross post it to OCD community. Here's a guide about cross posting.

Please don't delete any post with the purpose of reposting it in another community as that can be considered abuse! Leave this post here, you'll get it right next time.

Wow, what a super-engaging and kind comment, thanks a million for taking the time to steer me. I only use the #OCD community or tag when I can't see one that fits my post, but you found one in #SelfImprovement which would have been ideal actually, I will know for next time. That list you have shared will be a great help.

Also you mentioned help in your reply, so something I was wondering is how to set up a community, because I currently have an initiative which attracts around 30 unique posters per week, called #ThreeTuneTuesday and some friends on Hive havd suggested that I should set up a community for it, so my questions are:

Is it a good idea to set up the community?

What do I need to do in order to set up the community?

No worries, I'm here to help and I'm glad you find my comment useful 😀 Self Improvement is a very good community, lots to write about there.
Please note, the list is not complete, as the number of communities on Hive is endless, but it's a starting point.

About creating a new community, there are more ways, but here's the simplest one:

Go to PeakD, Communities and you have the + sign. A pop-up window will guide you from there. Please write down all the keys the app gives you as it's important.

May I ask what king of community you're planning to start? It would be useful as I'm guiding those who post in OCD. Maybe I can send you a few users :)

Anyway, I hope this helps and please contact me if you need more help :)

Thanks for the steer, I'm still not sure how to progress. The community would be one where people share three songs on a Tuesday and talk about those songs. They might even perform cover songs themselves or original songs. I have been running this already for over 1 year (70 weeks) on #ttt and #threetunetuesday within the Music community.

What are your thoughts, would it make sense to start a community in this instance or not?

I've set up a couple of communities @ablaze. think its 4 hive and away you go. Would be great for ttt to have a home and I will help you out with the technical side. You can get complicated and issue a token but it is relatively easy to run one. Much easier on what you are doing right now because all the posts will be in the one place.

Nice one man, cheers for the heads up, ya I think I'll go ahead with the community idea and see how it goes, it'll be a nice little challenge and like you say I could add a layer 2 token for prizes at some stage as well eventually. Cheers for the offer of helping out to man, much appreciated.

What I found is that setting up the community is the easy part but when you start adding tokens and a discord then it gets messy really fast. You start getting the nutters in taking over and then everyone leaves. 🤣 . If it's just the community then it can be managed really easy I think.

I know about the contest as my old friend @blanchy is posting about it regularly 😏

Based on what I've seen and what you've told me, here's my 2 cents.

70 weeks is a long time and it's still going. It's a nice initiative to attract new and old users too, as well as learn about new tunes, while connecting, making good friends. So if you can foresee a growth or at least maintain the current level, then it's a good idea.

However, please be aware of the responsibilities coming with managing a community. You're going to get some spammers, as that's inevitable and you're going to have to monitor the community on a daily bases, guide users, encourage them. This is what a good community leader does and it's the right thing to do.

Long term it is definitely a good idea as Hive is growing. You will need a couple of people, mods to help you, but I'm sure you can manage that. It's a lot more work then just running the contest in a community managed by others, but as I said, if you think you can grow it, give it a try.

Excellent advise @erikah - thanks a million. I might even have a potential mod in @blanchy to lend a hand. I'll stew it over for a few days and see how we go.

You're welcome and I'm glad you're going to give @blanchy work 😂 Two people are enough to split the work.

Sleep on it as there's no rush, then you'll see. Good luck and let me know if you need more help :)
