Community Celebration Challenge

See this post on The Capital and Medium.

Last week we challenged our Hive community members to celebrate, nominate, and tell us about their favorite ... what else? Communities! And we sure were amazed at how many entries we received. Our Hive ecosystem is as diverse as it is decentralized. We have everything from foodies, to chess players, to musicians, to fungi-hunters. It goes to show that no matter where your passion lies, there is a place for you on Hive.

So without any further delay and in no particular order we introduce you to a sampling of Hive communities!

A community that focuses on women — their interests, joys, passions, and share stories of their journey in life. Our mission is to empower and encourage female/feminine/femme-identifying voices on Hive. We are here to support, uplift, and learn from one another.

Thoughtful Daily Post
Submitted by @Wesphilbin (Founder/Admin/Curator)

This is a community for those participating in the Thoughtful Daily Post movement, created by me, @Wesphilbin, on June 23rd, 2019. Best described by a dear friend as follows; “The tag #thoughtfuldailypost can be applied to any post that speaks of positivity, uplifting topics, inspiration, reflection (especially self-reflection), deep musings about our human nature, spiritual aspects, and other philosophical inclinations. Despite the word "daily" in the tag, it is not necessary to write a post every day to participate — a single post of a thoughtful nature is welcome any time! We need more positivity and thoughtfulness in the world, now more than ever!” Even a bad day can be thoughtful, so show everyone your thoughtful daily post!

Polish HIVE
Submitted by @Jocieprosza (Leader (since Monday))

The name is self explanatory, isn't it? It's a community built for Polish speaking people in order to increase engagement among current users and help with onboarding future ones. The community had its best days already, but its work created a foundation on which new users can find themselves on Hive (f.e. Users took part in contest to create FAQ's and tutorials about Hive). Community has an active twitter account.

STEMsocial
Submitted by @Lemouth (Leader (role shared with @Mobbs))

STEMsocial is a project dedicated to improving the quality of STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics) content on the Hive blockchain. The problem, as we see it, has always been that those with the greatest knowledge of STEM subjects lack incentive to communicate their work to mainstream audiences, leaving the majority of scientific reporting to journalists. As a result, only the most positive, groundbreaking and bizarre stories get heard, often becoming misinterpreted into ‘fake news’ by mainstream media. We at STEMsocial offer a new approach and provide a space among a thriving global community of like-minded individuals where both experts and passionate STEM bloggers can freely distribute their knowledge in a social media environment that actively promotes and rewards honest, reliable and high-quality content. Discord

Silver Gold Stackers
Submitted by @Buggedout (Custodian of the Community Curation Project)

The Alliance
Submitted by @Enginewitty

The Alliance is one of the oldest communities on Hive born before tribes and Hive-Engine had tags to curate. We believe in getting to know you and do not discriminate the genre of your blogging style. As long as you're willing to help others, we'll help you. "I created Hive account@thealliance itself (before creating the curation account) the end of July in 2017 in response to noticing that a team and support was needed to be successful here. We have since adopted (and continue to) many people and seen them grow with us and launch their own initiatives." Discord

HomeEdders
Submitted by @Minismallholding (Founder and admin)

Community description: HomeEdders was the first time I took the leap into creating a community. We wanted somewhere for their who homeschool to connect, share experiences and offer ideas and moral support. It's been a great resource since the lockdowns pushed many more parents into this role. We even have teachers who post in there now and give ideas to help children with their learning.

Stock Images
Submitted by @Minismallholding (Founder and admin, along with @Crosheille who stepped up to help me from the start.)

So many writers use stock images in their posts and we have a lot of talented photographers and artists on Hive, so it seemed to make sense to bring them together and keep everything in the Hive community. What I initially planned as just an informal meeting place for both sides to come together became a bit more formal and a lot of people were excited about it being more formal. It's had a lot of support, however, we've also had to implement a lot more rules than a traditional community due to legal restrictions in many countries. Now we have a search feature, it's a place where creators have the opportunity to make a brand for themselves.

HiveGarden
Submitted by @Minismallholding (Moderator)

HiveGarden was created by @Skylinebuds for gardening content and discussion on Hive. He been fairly relaxed and hands off with it, so when the Natural Medicine community disbanded, due to taking on too many aspects, @Riverflows approached him to see if he would be happy to have our involvement for the gardening side of things. Gardening is a passion of ours, so we wanted to see a community for that side of things continue and it is slowly growing with lots of passionate gardeners finding their way there.

Silver Bloggers
Submitted by @Lizelle (Founder & Admin)

A community for retired and aspirant retiree bloggers, seasoned and wannabe crypto hodlers. The Silver Bloggers’ community brings together young-at-heart kindred spirits and younger 'old souls'. The golden threads, in addition to a love of blogging and photography, are a keenness to learn more about blockchain and crypto. We’re not digital natives, most of us were born before the PC was imagined; we ask “stoopid” questions. A compulsion to share our life experiences for storage on the blockchain for our children and children’s children. Musings and memories of lives lived – the happy and the sad, the long and the short. Planning for life beyond formal work, from leisure and travel to second (or third…) careers, hobbies that can supplement pensions and just what keeps “un” working people busy. From time to time, we will run challenges. To suggest and/or run a challenge, please tag one of the administrators or moderators with your idea.

Whisky/Whiskey
Submitted by @Steevc (Founder and drinker)

A place to talk about fine drinks. Currently fairly small, but looking to grow. We do not have a token and votes are not guaranteed, but it provides a place to find fellow drinkers. I feel that specialist communities can be more useful than general ones where posts can get lost in the flood. If centered around an interest then you can find the content you want without having to follow lots of people, who may have other interests that do not overlap. Cheers!

We are a tribe for all levels of cinephiles with the core motto to "Incentivize your passion for Film"! We recently restructured and are working to grow the community on Hive and beyond! Our token is CINE and we would love to have everyone as part of our unique family! Discord

VYB and Verify Your Brain have been designed to complement POB and the Proof of Brain tribe, as a sort of ‘parallel universe’ … Verify Your Brain represents a potential solution to much of the divided energy and heated disagreements on Hive that seem to be reaching a crescendo of late. Verify Your Brain -- Complete Freedom from Downvotes and Self-Votes. If you are psychologically tied to using downvotes or self-votes, then Verify Your Brain is not the place for you.

Free Your Mind
Submitted by @Wesphilbin (Admin), @Stayten (Admin), and @Mondoshawan (Founder)

There is this urge in us to be free, to live our nature, to which liberty is fundamental. This liberty has been suppressed by kings, societies and idiots for thousands of years.... In this blog we are collecting as much information and stories as possible to "find" this liberty, to find freedom. Please feel free to add your own perspective and/or experience. But what should I free my mind from, you may ask! - Let's start with all the limitations that have been imposed on us since we first saw the light of day.

Always A Flower
Submitted by @Wesphilbin (@Dswigle (Founder/Moderator))

Are you passionate about flowers? I am! A place to post your beauty! Your post can be anything. About flowers, about life, words describing them. Your passion is not limited to any subject. For me? Musing. Oh, yes. How I love to muse. To reflect. Ponder. Play with my words and make them mean something, sometimes straightforward and sometimes almost woven into the fabric to avoid detection. A diary of thoughts, dreams, life, and dreams yet to be dreamed. For you? The sky is the limit! Just remember! Always a flower!
