I call them Steemit clones as they all have that same basic layout.

You don't need to post from Palnet or any of the other tribes to collect their tokens. All you need to do is use the correct tag when posting. For example you can post from Steemit and use the tag palnet. Doing so will allow you to collect Steem/SBD and PAL coins. Some tribes are for niche topics so I would research before using just any tribe tag. You can claim your tribe token on the tribe site or via your Steem-Engine wallet.

I usually power up all my PAL. I was airdropped 3XX but I was playing in the market and had to start t 0 again.
