HivePosh users learn from each other what subreddits are the best for sharing... And I thought: Why not learn from Hive's competitors? I checked the best Medium, Blogspot, and Wordpress link shares on Reddit, and collected subreddits with the most potential for Hive.
r/Futurology 🗣 21M
We have regular AI-related content on Hive, some posts are quite good and can fit this sub which is
devoted to the field of Future(s) Studies and evidence-based speculation about the development of humanity, technology, and civilization.
They accept blog links; look at this Medium link share with 4.4K upvotes:
Another lovely link share in the same subreddit:
But don't forget to read their rules! They sound strict but check the feed and you'll find fresh blog link shares:
But, yup, this sub isn't the best for dropping a random link to get several upvotes.
r/collapse 🗣 522K
For those who feel that the world is declining. Posts about AI's negative impact might fit the sub. A decent write-up can potentially get a good support like this Blogspot blog link share with 2K upvotes:
Or this Medium link share with 527 upvotes:
And another Medium link:
And this is a climate change talk, a Wordpress link:
The sub is strict. Engage and share only the best.
r/vegan 🗣 1.9M
r/vegan focuses on research and lifestyle vegan news and opinions. This content is rarer than vegan recipes but potentially more rewarding. Look at this share with 1.2K upvotes:
And this:
However, pay attention to the rules:
We encourage active community members to share their content with r/vegan. However, if it appears that your participation in the community consists solely of promoting blogs/vlogs/websites/instagrams/etc., whether they be your own or someone else's, or the community reports your submissions as spam, your threads may be removed. This inevitably applies to submissions from brand-new users.
r/todayilearned 🗣 39M
This subreddit isn't news for HivePosh users but, anyway, I am sharing it here since I consider it extremely promising. The concept of the subreddit is simple: in the title, you write 'TIL' (Today I Learned) followed by a fact interesting for the general public. For example:
However, they have one unusual requirement:
Any sources (blog, article, press release, video, etc.) more recent than two months are not allowed.
Use amazing HiveSearcher to find old posts. Or Google search:
r/HistoryAnecdotes 🗣 100K
I shared there once and found this sub again during today's research. Although 100K isn't that huge, blog links are well-upvoted there.
They host intriguing historical anecdotes with titles summarizing the story. A successful share can get a massive support like this Medium blog share with 1.9K upvotes:
r/history 🗣 18M
r/history also accepts blog links. This Blogspot link share got 610 upvotes in this sub:
History can generate a lot of upvotes/views but we have not many fresh posts about it on Hive. Use HiveSearcher or Google to find older posts.
Read the rules!
r/AnythingGoesNews 🗣 164K
Not that easy to find a blog-link-friendly news subreddit. This one is friendly indeed: look at this Blogspot share with almost 800 upvotes:
And another one from the same blogging platform:
Keep in mind that most American Reddit users are supporters of the Democratic Party so they'll appreciate only narratives related to their agenda.
r/NewsOfTheWeird 🗣 117K
Yup, another news sub with an unusual flavor: they want:
weird and wacky news from all over the world.
Since they search for weirdness, you can write a post based on your translation of weird news from your country.
The sub starves for content so, probably, mods will upvote your share well to help it to gain traction.
r/80s 🗣 216K
A lovely sub for sharing posts about this colorful and bizarre decade. A nice movie review with many screenshots might work in this sub as well as a set of nostalgic (anemoia-cal) photographs or forgotten tracks.
I found no huge blog link shares in r/80s but posts are well-supported there; for example, this Blogspot share got 140 upvotes:
r/[a state]. Find and share American content
I found many Medium/Blogspot/Wordpress shares with great upvote numbers in r/[a state] and r/[a US city]. This is due to the fact that about 47% of daily Reddit users are American.
Almost anything related to the USA makes more views/upvotes on Reddit.
Alas, we have not many active bloggers from the USA, and they often post 3-5 images per post with a short story which can't usually make a perfect share. But it's worth hunting. I check tags "usa" and "us" from time to time.
A Blogspot link share with 1.7K upvotes:
Political subjects are at the top but it doesn't mean that an excellent post of another topic can't repeat the success.
Travel-America stories with weekend trip potential, like, discovering hidden gems of the countryside of a certain state, can work well.
American recipes with regional flavor might get much attention.
Anything connected to the US news is pure gold. If you find a decent post of such nature, you are a lucky one.
If something newsworthy is happening in the USA (like the recent wildfires in California or snow in Florida), search for relevant content on Hive to share on Reddit.
Other Subs with Cases of 250+ Upvotes for Blog Links
I am finishing my review with a list of decent blog-link-friendly subs (based on statistics for the past year, so, DYOR):
r/formula1, r/lostgeneration, r/lgbt, r/Urbanism, r/UFOs, r/atheism, r/Games, r/gaming, r/programming, r/WorkReform, r/Gunners, r/REBubble, r/math, r/UnsolvedMysteries, r/hiphopheads, r/SquaredCircle, r/socialism
