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.
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 :)
