Highlighting this community and sharing the wonderful posts that are featured within it is something we've been wanting to improve upon for a while now. Currently, we already run daily highlights for posts that we believe are excellent and deserve more recognition, we also share between 5% - 10% of the post rewards with each person featured as an additional incentive for such efforts and contributions to the community.
For the longest time, we've wanted to get a token of appreciation up for those we feature, for those that contribute frequently and make the discussion of movies and television shows here on Hive so fun. Today, we've finally launched a community badge! A new step towards many upcoming changes planned for the community to amplify the word of the community and Hive.
How do I get the badge?
For the most part, the badge is reserved for those who are featured in our daily highlight posts. These people are manually selected by the team for numerous criteria: creativity, community engagement, and writing. Though we also will hand out the badge to a select few who partake in our contests, of which we'll be ramping up in frequency. With another contest coming very soon!
Right now, only a few people have been added to the badge, but that will change as time goes on and we continue to add community members to it. It may take some time, so don't take it personally if you do tick all of our boxes and haven't received it. Our Discord is featured at the bottom of this post if you have any additional questions.
If you receive the badge, it'll suddenly appear on your profile page, and you'll receive a notification on Peakd that you're now being followed by the badge. You will not have to submit anything.
A small update
As mentioned above, we're to increase our frequency of contests. Contests are a great way for us all to discover each other and engage. We feel that alongside the 
We've finally taken to using Twitter properly, as we begin focus on engagement with the community and highlighting your posts to the widest demographic we can possibly reach. Through this, we aim to increase the number of eyes reaching both the community and Hive. Feel free to join us over on Twitter, and tag us with your posts! We have a few additional concepts in early planning stages that we believe should amplify outreach and engagement across Hive and off-chain, but these are a bit too early to begin discussing.
Following from this, we also expect to add more support for the Twitter sharing side of things in our Discord server, a link to that is found at the bottom of this post. We look forward to utilising our curation trail and social media to promote, engage with, and support Hive. The curation trail is rather important to us, for it allows our community members to contribute to this growth and be rewarded for it with Hive, simply for just following it via Hive.vote.
A thank you!
As always, we thank you for being part of this community. We're growing towards 6000 subscribers and it's incredible how many of you contribute to and support this community. We thank you for being part of this global community of movie and television show enthusiasts here on Hive. And lastly, we look forward to our continual growth with you.
