Hive.blog and peakd are the same thing as regards content.
You can post on one and read on the other, they publish to the chain and the chain allows many, many frontends to read it.

I didn't realize you had been around before the fork, I would have thought you would have had problems with 'the bad whale', now I have to do some research.

We definitely have it much better since the fork to hive, as regards free speech.

If you look in keychain's hamburger menu >user operations >automated tasks >claim savings interest, you will have the option to automate claiming your hbd interest to take advantage of the compounding.

Or, if you like, you can withdraw your hbd from savings, trade it internally to hive and power it up.

The interest rate on savings and curating are about the same.
