Communities are a vital feature of Hive. They are used for curation, for likeminded users to come together, for categorizing content, and in general for improving the quality of the blogging experience on Hive frontends, particularly on hive.blog. Most people enjoy joining communities and following, curating and even managing the content within.
This is taken directly from the Hive whitepaper:
Communities are a topical way to organize and manage the frontend-facing collation and discoverability of usergenerated content. They leverage the tag and follow features to sort, manage and thematically organize segments of content. A community is an account that is also set as a category for the content published in it. Upon its creation, a new account is generated and is then granted a modifiable label to display on the frontends. The community account itself may also opt to transact in the same way that any other account; it may post, cast votes, make transfers, and create other accounts.
Once a community is created, it may be labeled as desired and operated by its owner. Users may join communities, submit content to them, manage communities where they are set by the owner as administrators, hide undesirable submissions by muting them, give them descriptions and perform many other interactive actions with the ultimate goal of building an active and cohesive community.
With the majority of the community infrastructure based upon a layered approach and creative utilization of core blockchain features, communities are designed to be both flexible and functional. The naming of communities is not exclusive and multiple communities may have the same or similar names; their base account is set by a hive-000000 name-number naming convention. This prevents name squatting and allows any user to form a community on any topic. Where numerous similar communities are in competition, the one with the highest rate of user engagement will become the main community on its chosen topic but without disabling or otherwise harming its competition. It is important to note that communities do not generate monetary rewards for their owners and organizers by default; their value is a purely qualitative improvement to the user experience. However, frontends may augment community features with additional revenue generation capabilities.
Imagine that what communities can become is entirely up to you. In this challenge you make three suggestions for improving communities. These three suggestions can be very small or major changes.
As part of this challenge, all suggestions will be logged into a comprehensive list so your ideas aren't lost. This isn't a "formal" initiative and is intended to be the start of the Hive ecosystem coming together to brainstorm on a specific topic of communities.
