Lost in the communities

[[ I have updated article -- after the p.s....]]

There has got to be a better way to sort through the huge list of communities....

Some thoughts on this part of the site. In order for people to get motivated to use 'communities', there needs to be a reason for it other than just earning points or else what could have been a great idea and blossoming tool / platform for members will self destruct.

There HAS to be some organization for it. It could be really simple, like a search function with more options. Or they could be listed in a certain order besides date created or whatever order they're currently in.

Also, what is going to bring anyone's attention to any particular group to either be a part of or be just a fan of the content? It would be HUGELY beneficial to come up with a functional answer to this question. But that may take a lot of time. So in the meantime; simply having an easier way to navigate them all; I predict will improve the user experience dramatically.

After clicking on the 'next page' thingy even just a few times and reading every title in the list every time left me mentally disoriented. A lot of sites use strategies to pull people in. That's where the really big success is; but in contrast; what's happening here is people are actually making an extra effort to find something only to find it gives them a headache to try.... Unfortunately in the end, the communities function on this site will be used by nothing but people just trying to make points.

The whole 'point' of incentives via points is to promote the functionality of it. Get people addicted to it. There's a lot of potential for this part of the site. I like the idea behind it. I think it will be a huge success story for read.cash, but only if this mess is cleaned up somehow.

P.S.-- I'm really not trying to be hard on anyone. It's a new and growing site. And you guys have a lot going for you. There's several big reasons to be proud of this site.

I hope this article doesn't come off as TOO critical. I'm suggesting things because I LOVE this site and would be extremely happy if it blossoms all over the internet ;}

Thanks

Update....

It's become obvious to me that the reason there's SO MANY community titles....

[therefore making the situation worse and will only accelerate until addressed]

The lack of organization and search-ability is the mot likely the cause of the vast majority of all the communities.

After searching and getting frustrated for so long [ because I wanted to be thorough and pick one that best fits my needs ] I gave up and decided it would be easier to just start my own.... But then I realized I would just be adding to the already ridiculous problem.

[ The scary thing is, the last time I checked out the list wasn't all that long ago....]

................................................................................................................

I have started my own before, but back then there weren't nearly as many to look through. Think I only clicked on 'next' like 3 times.

[[ The one I started in the past is found here....

https://read.cash/c/gamers-dd67

it has 9 members and 5 articles so far. It's for anything about games ]]

At the time there were only a few for the subject of games and they weren't exactly what I wanted so I created my own. And I'm all for having multiple choices for any and every subject, but when there's a huge percentage of titles just inviting people to talk about anything [ I'm not saying those shouldn't exist either ] I need a more reasonable way to find what I'm looking for when trying to find something specific.

Plus I really think that a lot of them wouldn't even exist if this was already fixed. Because if a person can easily find what they're looking for, they're actually more likely to just join a group that already exists. Unless; of course; they just feel like being the moderator of something, or they want something different than what's already there. [ like me with the Gamers (dd67) ]

Just saying....

Thanks again for reading.
