Agree 💯. My friend predicted back in May that in a couple of months then BitClout will become a small circle of users talking only about the platform and it will be very hard to overcome that and welcome new people (tribalism).
That’s why I’m a big proponent of communities. Because right now we have only one - DeSo community. It could be extremely hard to grow out of that.
I’m happy to write about different topics on DeSo (dev, crypto, travel, business, marketing and more) but I don’t feel comfortable sharing it on my profile right now. It would be much easier if I could write about it in communities that are interested in those topics.
I know that some projects are working on that, but I feel it needs to be a native on-chain feature to make it work and could be build upon.
Right now there is almost no point for a new person to join, but imagine someone interested in photography and there is a native community for that where they could engage immediately.
I’m happy to get info about interesting things (and give diamonds and engage) in dev stuff, crypto, NFTs, travel directly on DeSo but there is nothing like that on DeSo or it’s very hard to curate.
We need native on-chain communities. I describe how it could work here: diamondapp.com/posts/3e7e1fb90d99d967db03fbdd0796e484f49b6e435ff884aa3d1afe59c4bfd023
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also, did you notice how easy it is to "mint" a community on there?!
That should be a feature here!
That chain struggled with user retention until Communities launched.
Early adopters post too much about Blockchain and about the platform itself for it to be engaging for the average social media user. If they can join a community, that changes. Imagine if Reddit was only one feed!
