It would appear a crosspost is not eligible for tribe tokens.

we don't add any tags to a cross-post (except for #nsfw)

The assumption is that the tag is already on the original post.
Cross-Post is just a means to get it into a second community not to relist it into the topic feeds.

I could see maybe a need if you're sharing really old content that maybe never got tribe tokens. In that case just cross-post and then quickly edit the post and add the tags

oh i see. so steempeak is an alternative GUI for steemit (strictly speaking in broader terms). I must apologize because i have returned to steem blockchain after a very long break of about 2 years. and back then steempeak didn't exist or at least i didn't know about it. though, there was another alternate to steemit back then (i have even forgotten the name of that).. so this morning, i noticed that steemit had updated a few new features including communities and stuff.. and i thought that steempeak is just an account name who is explaining what are these new features... now when i think of it, my entire question feels stupid.. sorry about that.. my apologies.

It has been a great experience for me to be involved in testing probably the most innovative, feature-rich interface on Steem!

Are you sure you listed everything? :)

Something I remember from the top of my mind that doesn't seem to be there is the "Do You know?" tooltips which asgarth just implemented and I tested it a bit yesterday.

Thanks for the continued efforts, loads and loads to unpack with the update.

One thing I’m curious, maybe I’m out of the loop on it, what’s premium? In the small update section, 2 features are premium. If you explained that in another post, I’ll read that!

Not sure how many people use or need an airdrop feature but we did build one because our other project @peakmonsters needed it.

It's not a free feature and we haven't tried to market it yet. Not really a high priority.

Hi @steempeak :) Are you still planning to add something like a general "shortcut" list, where users can add favorite tags / lists / subbed communities (like on the box on the right). I know we have the dropdown list but personally having just a one-click button to go where I want is more convenient. Cheers!

(Edited)

you may have to give an example of what you mean. Right now we don't have a fast way to get to favorite tags but we do have an extremely fast way to get to lists and favorite communities. The important part is now that they are on the top they are always available no matter what page you're on. Previously people had to click to get to certain pages where they would then be available on a somewhat less than appealing box that made everything a bit messy.

But still willing to see what you're thinking of.

By favorite tags I meant this:
Screenshot_20200220 You think this guy knew a coin would ever come of it SteemPeak.png

It would be cool if we could have the same box but with subbed communities :) Or it can be in the same box I think.

Something I'd like to see down the line is to sort the communities by most popular when searching. Right now if I get more than one community in search results it's hard to know which one is the most active at a glance.

With all the updating, one thing I would like to see, and something that is semi missing on almost all the front ends to Steem Block Chain, is a users guide. Not one to the Steem Block Chain, but one that is specific to Steempeak, in an easy to find location, such as between Tribes and search, or in the profile drop down menu.

If there is such a user manual for Steempeak, I have not found it yet.

Hey guys. Hoping you can assist. When checking out the community settings for PowerHouseCreatives I enabled the Discord integration. I did nothing other than his the enable button and enter the server name.

WOW!!
Totally awesome update!!
Just 2 things:

  • I would love reaching the usual follower´s feed by just one click. Now it is hidden in a menu
  • The notifications do not disappear automatically. This is really annoying

If those 2 would be fixed, it would be close to PERFECT!!

Thanks so much. I also do heavily advertize this frontend in the German community!! See my Alexa-post (german only).

  1. We have some limited space and lots of feed choices. I for example use some of my badge or list feeds as much as my follower feed. But let us know if after a while of using it that the extra click is really tiresome... we'll also keep looking at the analytics if follower feed is so overwhelmingly used that it needs to be done differently.

  2. The notifications system that we switched to offered for so many additional and heavily requested features that we opted to switch to it. We do hope that the developers of that notification system do give it some additional functionality and ease of use. We're with you on that.

  3. You'll be happy to note we're starting to organize a group of volunteers to help translate the site later this year.

Thank you for this post, it is very helpful.
I am having a problem with my most recent post not showing up on my blog unless the viewer (including me) either goes to "all posts" on steempeak, or hides resteems on steemit. (esteem is fine). I have tried pinning it to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Your blog should be considered a LOCATION and a community is also a LOCATION.
It appears you chose to place your recent post in a COMMUNITY you did not choose to place it in your BLOG.

There is good news you can put the post in your BLOG as well. Just use the resteem feature.

Also pinned did work... it just takes a bit of time for it to show up.

Oh! So if I use a hive tag first it posts in a community? Good to know. Will resteem everything posted to a community from now on.

By "resteem" my post do you mean "add to blog"? (since I have done it, the option is no longer available so I'm not sure that is the correct verbiage) My post only shows up sometimes on my blog now. I have no idea why sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't

It's amazing how much you guys accomplish. I really appreciate all your hard work.

I am having a problem I don't know how to resolve with the changes to notifications. I need to limit notifications to replies, and the addition of upvotes, mentions, and the like clutters the feed and reduces my ability to engage with folks. Please let me know how to limit notifications to replies only, so that I can promptly respond to folks kind enough to reach out to me, which I presently am unable to do because I can't prevent the bell icon from reporting every upvote and mention.

Also, I understand the pecuniary interest most have regarding their upvotes, but I am far more interested in knowing the percentage of an upvote, rather than it's monetary value, as this is a more relevant gauge of interest than the wealth of the person, and that is more relevant to my concerns. Is there a way to restore the prior gauge of upvotes?

Thanks!

The notifications system is being developed by @roadscape over at Steemit INC.
You could ask to see if he has any plans.

Also we have a filter system that may help in the meantime. You could view this full list and filter them pretty easily.

Hi guys, a couple of suggestions after using the Communities for some time.

  1. Inside a community, offer one more way to sort the posts - by last activity (where activity means comments, but not votes). So when I go inside a community, I'd have the choice to see the posts ordered by the last posting activity. The idea is that this will help community members more easily follow the ongoing discussions, similar to how members of a forum see which threads have last activity because those threads get bumped to the top when someone comments in them.
  2. In the user feeds screen, on the left-hand side, remove the FAVORITE TOPICS section (it can be moved to the right-hand side) and instead put a MY COMMUNITIES section in its place. I think this makes it much easier for users to go to their communities of interest and doesn't require them to figure out how to do it through the various menus at the top (I don't think most will figure out how to use the menus at the top - at least in their current form they're too complex for the average user). Having MY COMMUNITIES easily accessible on the left-hand side also prepares things for additional social features that could be added later on - I'm thinking things like ordering the communities under MY COMMUNITIES by last activity, and displaying the number of new posts/comments in the community since the user last visited the community. The whole idea is to facilitate social interaction and make it easier for people to find out what's going on that's of interest to them.

Let me know what you think. And thanks for all the wonderful work so far!
