The Curation Collective, AKA C²/@c-squared, is a community intended for curators on the Steem blockchain.
Permission is required to post in the curation channels, so just identify that you are a curator in the #general chat to receive the Curator role. The Curator role will give you permission to post curated links (please, no self promotion) in #the-hive general curation channel or one of our language- or interest-specific channels (at the time of this writing, currently Spanish, Filipino and Dutch language-specific channels & Art, Music, Writing and Photography interest-specific channels).

Just talk to us about it in #general chat, we will try it out and as long as the channel is being used it will stay up.
Likewise if there is enough interest in any interest specific curation, new channels will be created there. All English language posting can be brought forward to #the-hive general curation channel in any event.
There is no payment of any kind associated with bringing forward posts to the public curation channels in our Discord community. The primary goal is to support and give more exposure to authors.
