It's the announcement no one was waiting from an community page that's collecting dust. This post is an update for the community page.
I'll be setting this as a pinned post on the community page for a quick recap. The community page/account has been given to OCD due to mod inactivity.
I felt that the page was such a waste of potential for tackling on a popular niche topic but with low engagement levels. I could always attribute part of the problem was due to mods having a life outside the platform to get busy over but it's not entirely that.
This community never really had a strong presence when it comes to being a community. It was just a page people used for posting rotation because it is a convenient niche to get into while doing another post for another community under OCD incubation. It felt most (not all) weren't passionate about the topic, they just have a convenient place to write about and raise their chances of getting larger rewards especially if the page lacks other creators to compete for curator attention.
I made some changes with the community rules and will call it now that some changes to those rules will be made as needed in the future. We'll get to those in a little while.
To save some time speculating, forget what you read from the curation criteria for anime realm. This community isn't going to be focused on making public receipts who did a good job. Everyone is a curator once they have a Hive account and they can influence what posts can trend on this community page for more visibility.
Don't hope for a larger community curation account to boost your post when you're sharing it here. You share your post here because you want the visibility of other people that are into the niche too, not because of the rewards that should be a side perk. This doesn't mean I discourage anyone not to bother with making their posts great while posting here. Community curators still look for good posts and if some of them happens to drop by this community, wouldn't it be great if your post just stood out?
On the long term, I intend to share the nice things this community has outside Hive to spread the word about the blockchain and get more anime enthusiasts onboard. Our growth as a community is dependent on new users entering outside Hive.
Community Rules:
No Uploads of Full Episodes or links to full episodes.
Memes are fine but make sure it's Hive related in context. Encourage a discussion while you're at it.
I'll be watching how this plays out. Whether you're team long form vs short form content, both have their own appeals. Anime has a lot of meme potential and 1 photo can be more entertaining several hundred word review over some show you cant bring yourself to care about.
Original content please. If you sourced parts of the content from somewhere else, mention it.
Translations from non-English to English posts are fine. English is highly encouraged.
Once in a while, there's an idiot that translates an anime review from some other source from their own language to English and then it's difficult to get it checked for plagiarism. Not only does this make curation difficult but it spoils the rest of non-Native English speakers doing their best. I don't mind multilingual posts but I'd likely skip over some posts I don't understand (fair game I'm not a native English speaker).
Translations of non-English content to English content that you do not own AND forgetting to mention the source is not allowed.
Posting spam and plagiarized content will get you muted.
I prefer this community just grows into a place where anime enthusiasts come together, share topics under the niche and just chill. It's much easier to earn some votes and community trust if you're participating in something you're interested in.
I made a new discord server for this community but will mention it in the future. I got some plans in mind for the place but I'm taking this one step at a time.
If you made it this far reading, thank you for your time.
