Have you noticed how much Instagram smells like a grave? A grave for your creativity, energy, and, overall, a significant part of your life... Imagine you are a very old person and the Death in the black hooded mantle is visiting you and showing you info-graphics on her iPad proving you exchanged roughly 43,800 hours (5 years) of your life for several thousand likes on Instagram. And then you are squeaking in response: "But I hoped to reach a broader audience one day!", and right at that moment, you hear the sound of a scythe cutting through the air.
But! Some other web2 places are much less dark and damp than Instagram. One of them is Reddit. You subscribe to a thematically appropriate community, share an image there and then get a ton of likes and feedback below. One of my recent posts (without a Hive link) got 109K views, 424 likes, and 105 comments:
Or another one brought me 29K views and 163 likes:
And it turns out that
This fun activity on Reddit can help Hive and also is able to bring crypto to your wallet.

4/ get automatically rewarded.
What Rewards

3/ Recognition of the community. No matter how amazing your content is, the community supposes you will engage on Hive in one or another way. Promoting Hive is a great form of engagement. Luckily, In the case of Reddit, there is a tool to keep your help on the radar - hiveposh.com. If your help is consistent, be sure you'll be noticed.
Be a Redditor, Not a Spammer!
Sharing links on Reddit can work in two ways:
- One way helps both Hive and Reddit community (a subreddit) since it gives interesting content to the subreddit and gets views and potential new users to Hive.
- Another way harms both: if you share a boring, useless post on the thematically wrong community, you'll play the role of a spammer.
The best way to be a Redditor is:
1/ Find several Reddit communities that are thematically close to your interests.
2/ Post (without Hive links) and answer comments there to truly be a part of the subreddit.
3/ Share Hive links from time to time - choose the best Hive posts that can be useful for the chosen Reddit community (subreddit). But, first, check if the community's rules allow sharing links to blogs or self-promotion. You can find the rules of a subreddit on the main page on the right:
My Search For Hive-Friendly Subreddits
To make finding appropriate subreddits easier for Hivers, I search for Hive-friendly subreddits. Some Reddit communities don't allow external links or, specifically, links to social media. Some have other restrictions. Sharing what I did this week. (If you want to see the summary of my work, find it at the bottom of the post).
