The Community pages feature for Leofinance.io appears to be getting closer to launch. We have seen some teasers of it on Twitter, and a call out for moderators for a Travala community page has been made. Feels like it could drop any day now, which is exciting.
So, what is a community page?
The Community page idea is one that the devs of Leofinance have been working on for a while. Basically, a home page for specific crypto projects, here on Leofinance.
Lets take Thorchain as an example. Lots of Leo content creators post regularly about Thorchain. The Thorchain community page will be kind of like the Leo home page, but with just Thorchain content. It will have a curated section, which will be the role of the community moderators to select. The page will also have other relevant information on it - Links to important sites and a token price chart. We can see how it will likely look for the mobile version in the following image, shared recently in this tweet.
Community pages are likely to be set up initially for some of the most popular projects that Leo content creators generally post about. We see Thorchain being an obvious choice, as many in Leo have been keenly following the project for years. We also saw a shout out on Twitter looking for volunteers to moderate the page for Travala. This is another clear choice, as people like @trumpman and @belemo have been following AVA for ages.
Key benefits.
Improve content discovery. - This will make it easy for people to find content on areas of interest. Want to learn about Thorchain? We have a one stop shop for everything Thorchain. Interested in Travala? Finding news and updates, and important links will be simple.
Potential onboarding. - Projects (particularly smaller, up and coming projects) may see benefits in joining to be involved in the curation of their community pages. Also, many projects have paid (or supported) brand ambassadors, and this feature makes it much more attractive for them to promote on LEO, and build a presence here. Also, just general community members may also see benefits for joining Leo, to be able to interact with content about their favorite project.
More eyeballs. - Community pages may gather lots of traffic over time from people just regularly checking in to view the latest content about their favorite project. Getting the pages bookmarked by people will ensure more regular traffic, regardless of whether people even join up to interact. As we know, the Ad revenue sharing model is also coming SoonTM, and more page visits means more ad revenue, means more LEO earnings for LEO power holders.
So what do we need to do?
First thing is first, keep in mind your content tagging. I put a post out a few days ago from the @leoalpha account about this. If you are unsure about what tags to use, check it out. The TLDR is simply to make sure you have the first few (preferably 5) tags on the post relevant to the content of the post.
Think about which communities you may be interested in curating. If you have a particular favorite project, consider putting your hand up to moderate. Each page will work best with moderators, and featured posts will be chosen based on the moderator votes. This is how the curated section works on the Leo home page - with the three selected moderators votes followed for "Curated", a different moderator takes the lead each week.
Promote the initiative once it is live. The community page for a particular project will be a great landing page for newcomers from various communities. This development is intended to drive the next wave of onboarding to Leofinance. It will only work if the existing community gets behind it and makes it work. I know the dev work by the Leofinance team have been working on it for ages. It's up to us to make that work worthwhile.
What community pages do you hope to see?
Drop a comment below with your favorite project outside of LEO. Once the feature is live and working, it will be a straightforward process to set up a new page. What would you like to see?
Personally, My likely home page will be a Cosmos Eco-system page. I hope to see this, and would love to moderate. Beyond that, my goal would be for specific pages for some of the projects I have posted about lately, like Osmosis, Comdex, Evmos and so on. This content would also slot in to the general Cosmos page, but having pages for each specific project would be a great way to onboard communities.
That's the goal of this, shift onboarding from just individuals here and there, to onboarding communities. How can you help with this goal?
Thanks for reading,
JK.

I'm really excited about this development! It just makes so much sense to bring on crypto communities who do not have the luxury of having communication platforms.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the big point is that many communities don't have a blockchain communications platform. Most still use Medium, Telegram, Discord and Twitter to communicate.
Leofinance > Medium, and on-chain so lets hope we can attract some projects that preach decentralization to actually practice what they preach.
Really looking forward to this.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Me too. Excitement abounds as development and innovation continue at a breakneck pace
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Absolutely! As Jk is saying - it’s crazy that crypto projects are using… not crypto projects… to talk about their project.
Time to get on the blockchain people!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Super cool stuff. I’ve volunteered to moderate for Thorchain community. I’ve been deep into the system for over a year now. I’ll love to see more thorchain stuff around here
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome stuff. Thorchain is a no-brainer for the LEO community. Plenty of people here into it, from the early days right through to now.
Can't wait to see the Leofinance Thorchain community page live.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is gonna be the first community page we launch! Surprisingly, there’s not a whole lot of Thorchain content lately - perhaps people have been scared off by price action.
Would love to see an initiative to post about Thorchain so that we can populate their community page with great content off the bat tomorrow!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm pumped for this and interacting in each community is a powerful way to get in touch with like minded people.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep, it will definitely make it easier to find people that are following the same projects as us, and hopefully bring more newcomers in to Leo.

One huge issue on Hive has always been content discovery. I think this feature could radically improve content creation, engagement and readership
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Agree
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is the best idea I have heard for ages and makes perfect sense. This is the way a community can expand as it brings in everyone involved in those projects and would not want to miss out. Would love to see AVA and COTI personally.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
AVA will be launched shortly after the initial 2 community pages go live! I’m excited to see everyone take this idea and run with it.
It truly is up to the community on this one. It will succeed if everyone works together to fill the pages with good content and then blast the project team and community on twitter to let them know that the page exists and they can utilize it!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is really good, I like it when things are in basic segments and inw can easily find topic of interest.
Job well done to the team.
Thanks for sharing..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It will definitely make it easier to find topics of interest. The home page will not change, but we will have "home" pages for all the major crypto projects.
Can't wait till it goes live.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, that makes it easy.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow! This bring the strong usecase for Leo token too. I think Thoechain will like to have bulk stake of Leo , so that they can "trend" what look best article/post to them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Indeed, smart projects will have their marketing people, or head of communications active on the page for their project, and suggest their (often paid) "brand ambassadors" to become active here moderating to ensure the right information is featured for their project.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah we will need to reach out to a lot of brand ambassadors. I can imagine a day when we have hundreds of community pages that are being moderated by people officially involved in the project that has the page.
Then, they can have a new hub for content distribution and engagement with their community. We could also integrate things like Community tipping in the future to let these projects tip community members directly on LeoFinance.
The future is bright

Interesting point, I will need to read more about this feature..

Well, am so keen on this, fresh lions onboarding.
Now that's really exciting! What a surprise that is! It gets even easier to check and see with the community pages.

I’m excited!

@trumpman for AVA community moderator. He brought AVA to Leofinance. THIS SHITPOSTER DESERVES IT.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hahahaha well now maybe instead of just shitposting he can shitmoderate as well
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
sounds like a really great idea, but how is it different to the community pages already on leofinance/Hive?
e.g.: https://leofinance.io/trending/ethereum
for ethereum
Good question - each page has it’s own set of moderators. The page then uses a curation algorithm to read the upvotes of each moderator and then display content accordingly
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
okay, that does seem like a good change, looking forward to it!
The subreddits of LeoFinance are coming! Very exciting way to draw in new users.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
YES!

I've always wanted more crypto projects to post here.
Whatever we can do to make easy on/off ramps for converting tokens for them is great, too.
I think Community Pages will make this a reality!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This x1000!! We definitely need some good ambassador work of our own to spread the message about Community Pages. The entire goal of them is to create a hub for crypto Projects / Communities on LeoFinance. These hubs will promote far better content discovery and give project PR people something they can build on and grow a following for.
Later stages of Community Pages will see various ways to drip content back into the main feeds - for example, imagine being able to follow various Community Pages on LeoMobile and get notified when a new post pops up in there and is likely to be relevant to you.
In this way, the feature becomes a very circular way to promote more content creation, engagement AND readership.
I’ll keep this in mind for the next batch of Community Pages!
I was working with the dev the other night and he showed me how long it took to setup a new Community Page. It’s a matter of editing a config file and took less than 5 minutes to setup and deploy a new page. Love it.

I see big things for this. I go to subreddits if I need to know something specific about a certain project, but obviously crypto communities should be on the blockchain.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ha! I was about to say Cosmos, but I see you already proposed it. :)
