ADSactly Community News - An Update on Our Fridays With ADSactly
Hi ADSactly readers! It's Thursday, which means for most, that the week is coming to an end. It also means that we can start looking forward to our weekly chat show "Fridays with ADSactly", hosted by @broncofan99 and @princessmewmew
What Topics Will Be Covered?
We try to keep the conversation focused on Steemit related topics. This means we will chat about anything from new tools available to Steemians, to markdown tips, to popular Steemians to follow.
What Did We Speak About in Last Fridays With ADSactly?
We had quite an interesting conversation, discussing a few different platforms such as Tasteem, Scorum and Minds.
Have you heard of any of these platforms?
@tasteem is a front end for the Steem blockchain focusing on restaurants and eating out. They have weekly challenges where you can post Your Weekly Choice (any restaurant article) and then they also have weekly unique contests. For example, this week's contest is Bakeries and Patisseries.
They have a lovely community there, and also give some really nice upvotes for using their front end.
There are some nice features available, such as being able to bookmark your favourite posts, and vote for your favourite post via Tasteem.
You do need to sign up for the white paper though, but once you are in, you're in!
Minds is a new social media platform, dubbed "the Facebook Blockchain Alternative" using crypto to reward their users. It has a few posting methods, mainly shortform photo and video uploads, and also longer format posts, where you can write a full blog post.
One of the best things about Minds is that it doesn't track your data, like Facebook.
You can earn in the Minds token, by simply posting a photo, or liking or disliking a post. Currently Minds is still running on the Rinkey test net (an ethereum test net), so it is not yet listed on an exchange, or carry value.
Now is definitely the time to get involved, as an early adapter.
A sports based social media block chain based platform with it's own ICO.
Scorum rewards its users for creating content and for curating content, much like Steemit.
It also has a large database of photos and analytics on hand for it's writers. Now that is pretty cool.
What of the most interesting features is a commission-free betting on fantasy sports - a great interactive feature on the site.
Again, like Minds.com, now is THE time to join.
Giving Back to the Community
We really encourage networking and getting to know your fellow Steemians, so our Friday's With ADSactly are a great place to meet other like minded individuals.
At ADSactly, we are all about giving back to the community, so we encourage you to come along and share the link to your latest post, and tell us a little about it. This is a wonderful way to get a few extra upvotes and some more interaction on your post.
How We Gave Back Last Friday
Our wonderful community got to hear about @mumma-monza and @phillipekiene's experiences on all of the discussed platforms, and they definitely gained some new followers.
ADSactly also runs a daily curation project called the ADSactly Post of the Day, and all who were present had a hand in choosing the POTD for that day. That was really a fun aspect to our hang out, and gave more exposure to what we do with our curation project.
Your Hosts
@broncofan99 is one of our Community Overseers in ADSactly, and super involved with our Post of The Day project. He is known for his kind and helpful spirit, and is a huge sports lover. Recently he has been making some amazing DTube videos, so feel free to ask about that in the chat!
@princessmewmew (me!) is passionate about food and design. My main love on Steemit is manual curation, supporting minnows and sharing the knowledge I have gained over the past year with every one who is keen to learn!
So, between the two of us, we will definitely have something to chat about.
We Need You!
If you'd like to attend, please let us know in the comments what you'd like to discuss, or what you would like to hear us discuss. We are looking for talking points.
The Details

Can't wait to see you there!

CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR DISCORD
I didn't know these platforms! I had heard of Tasteem, but not Minds or scorum. Yesterday, on your server, I read about steemhunt. Which led me to review some posts and find the benefits it offers us. Surely I will do the same with these new platforms mentioned here. I congratulate the @ADSactly" team, because there is not only a sharing in the general chat, but also an exchange of information in these publications and in their weekly programs. Necessary in these times of much disinformation and especially for those of us who are just beginning that we need what blind, guidance. Thank you very much.
Wonderful to know, though, i will check the aforementioned opportunities too.
It’s a pleasure, beautiful Nancy. Glad you are finding help and assistance in our discord. I am also looking into steem hunt now, it seems fun
@princessmewmew, In my opinion the topics which discussed in last session sounds effective and for sure session was included some of the Trending aspects.
And in my opinion it's really important to deep dive and Knowledge Transfer towards other platforms and front-ends because in that way people can explore stuff.
And the idea of giving back is so effective and kind gesture where we hold the chance to get the exposure for our work. So keep up this amazing work.
And for sure today i will join this session and really excited to have a word because, it's all about the Healthy Engagements when we talk about the development of an Community.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
