How do Community Cross Posts work?
Why don't they show up on other Hive based interfaces?
Some know this feature as simply "Cross Posting" but to be specific it is **"Community Cross Posting" **
- It is a feature specifically to share any hive post inside a community.
- To share a post on your own personal blog use the feature "Add to Blog"
HOW TO ADD TO SHARE/CROSS-POST TO A COMMUNITY
1. First check community rules to see if Cross-Posting is allowed.
It really is up to you to make sure it's allowed in the community. Some communities allow it... some only allow moderators to cross-post and some don't allow it. Breaking the rules risks having the cross-post removed and perhaps having your account muted for breaking rules.
2. Go to post
3. Select Cross post in...
4. Pick the Community add a message
- PeakD only lists communities that you are subscribed to.
- The message is important as it gives readers a reason as to why you are cross-posting AND more importantly what their comments should be about.
A cross post has it's own set of comments unique to that new community.
- You are creating a brand new post on HIVE
- That post is pretty empty but it does indicate that it is a cross-post and it links to the ORIGINAL post.
- Peakd.com then fetches the information from the original post and displays that.
- The cross-post itself has rewards declined
- PeakD.com forwards votes for this post to the ORIGINAL post
- Much of the information shown about the post comes from the ORIGINAL
- After the original post has been around for 7 days the vote button recommends tipping
- These cross-posts will show up in your own ALL POSTS page
- Users can interact with your cross-post (default) and can also interact with the original on PeakD.com
Other interfaces have mostly not done the work needed to support cross-posts as of yet. Cross-posts is an open decentralized system and any interface is welcome to add support.
- If any interface is wanting more information we would be happy to give them support and help them with code.
- The community has largely suggested to decline rewards to the new post and direct it to the original.
