April's Top 10 Underestimated Subreddits That Can Boost Your Hive Link Sharing. HivePosh Weekly #19

By x-rain on 4/25/2025

HivePosh users discovered 53 new Hive-friendly subreddits in April. I've selected 10 that might help boost your Hive link sharing, whether you're a beginner or an experienced HivePosh user.

A disclaimer: I mention a HivePosh user whose Hive link share proved the subreddit is Hive-friendly. However, I can't guarantee this user was the first. There is no bot to collect this data; all this has been done by hand, with the help of my memory which isn't flawless.

r/law 🗣1.1M @blkchn

Law: Covering current developments in law. A place to discuss developments in the law and the legal profession.

Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 17-51-16 Snap by @godfish PeakD.png

A huge subreddit that might be interested in political and crypto news when they relate to the law.

r/BlockchainStartups 🗣44K @null

A community for entrepreneurs, innovators and enthusiasts in the blockchain industry. Here you'll find discussion and resources on the latest trends, developments and opportunities in the blockchain world.

It's not a big subreddit but it might work for posts about Hive blockchain.

r/EU_Economics 🗣6.9K @null

No Sarcasm. MAGA FREE ZONE If you critisise something you have to offer alternatives in the same post. We post from ALL OVER EU.

Too small? Don't judge that quickly, look at link shares there - quite decent:

r/thesidehustle 🗣163K @stekene

r/thesidehustle is for your side hustle money making ideas. AI software, startups and passive income ideas. Marketing, Careers, eCommerce, Dropshipping, Business, Stocks, Education, Crypto, Online Tutorials, Amazon, Onlyfans Managers, Print on Demand, Sales, Finance, Crypto Slots, Crypto Casino

What else should I add?! Look at the desc - money, passive income, crypto - this subreddit might be perfect for Hive-related posts.

r/Tools 🗣850K @stekene

This sub is for tool enthusiasts worldwide to talk about tools, professionals and hobbyists alike. We welcome posts about "new tool day", estate sale/car boot sale finds, "what is this" tool, advice about the best tool for a job, homemade tools, 3D printed accessories, toolbox/shop tours.

Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 18-43-39 Tool Making Series Digging Hoe PeakD.png

We have many DIYers on Hive but we rarely share their posts... Maybe, r/Tools will change this?

r/privacy 🗣1.5M @tsnaks

Privacy in the digital age (this is not a SECURITY subreddit, and PUBLIC data, closed source, etc is off-topic) .

Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 16-44-29 Facebook & Google are in mega-money data relationship PeakD.png

Many of us keep an eye on the LeoFinance community, and from time to time there are solid technical posts too dull to spark broad interest on r/Cryptocurrency. Privacy is one of those not-so-hot topics. It's good to know there's a large subreddit focused specifically on it.

r/HighStrangeness 🗣983K @loading

Explorations of the Paranormal, UFOs, Ancient Cultures, Cryptozoology, Consciousness, Futurism, Fringe Science, Anomalies, Animal Mutilations, and instances of High Strangeness.

Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 18-11-57 Giant Structure Scanned Beneath Giza Pyramid Claims Researchers Group PeakD.png

We have STEM authors and HivePoshers. Probably, this sub is worth trying for them.

r/energy 🗣242K @uwelang

News & discussion

Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 17-09-31 Tesla 4680 Battery PeakD.png

Posts about economics and politics are sometimes focused on energy so worth knowing we also have this option.

r/Agriculture 🗣50K @tsnaks

Agricultural science and practice

Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 17-04-57 World's first inflatable farm reduces water use by 99%_Primera granja inflable del mundo que reduce el uso de agua en un 99% PeakD.png

The same as I said above: economic and political news often relate to industries, like energy or agriculture. 50K isn't much but look at @tsnaks's share - 143 upvotes, decent. And this is also r/agriculture:

Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 20-44-29 The Agriculture reddit.png

r/Buttcoin 🗣197K @tsnaks

Buttcoin: backed by gold, comedy gold! ButtCoin. It's a scam. At least we're honest about it!

Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 17-42-50 Dump and Pump It On Trump’s Order It's Crime SZN PeakD.png

Not new actually but underestimated. We sometimes come across crypto posts that clearly wouldn’t gain much popularity on usual crypto subreddits because of their critical/ironic take on crypto. It might be that such write-ups would better fit r/Buttcoin. It's a satire subreddit that mocks cryptocurrency culture, particularly Bitcoin and its enthusiasts. Crypto scams, hype, and market crashes might be popular too.

Hope the selection was helpful!

Is there a way or process where people can feedback on friendly subreddit news / developments (such as they decided last week to change rules and not allow self promo, or blog / social posts - or when they comment they do not accept our domains)?

Just as updated doc so everyone is aware what could happen - of course one should read sub rules before posting - they are not always that clear and even sometimes when clear still alow certain content against rules while they delete/ban other content.

But I do not wanna make it too complicated my friend

x-rain's avatar @x-rain 4/25/2025

can feedback on friendly subreddit news... ...Just as updated doc so everyone is aware what could happen

I think we often make wrong conclusions about subs... Like, a sub added a requirement of SS but someone missed it and is saying "they banned Hive links". So, such updates can bring much confusion, I believe. But if you've got a comment from a subreddit saying "we consider Hive links spam...", then show me the screenshot and I'll update the list.

uwelang's avatar @uwelang 4/25/2025

Deal - makes sense

uwelang's avatar @uwelang 4/25/2025

Just adding this here for the records (blockchain remmebers) - some people show ridiculous behaviour - not against me - this message is something for serious organisations. (And I know Vitalik personally - he will be happy)

Always love the see tags from your posts

I love all of the reddit analyzed and statistical posts. These weekly hiveposh posts keep me motivated to try to find cool sub reddits or create wonderful shares.

x-rain's avatar @x-rain 4/25/2025

😊🤝🥂 Great to know this, thank you!

uwelang's avatar @uwelang 4/25/2025

lol - I am in the middle of sub buttcoin and they fire from all sides - but all good - not banned yet - some asses there but I am positive we find a workaround - telling them about my gold assets lol

x-rain's avatar @x-rain 4/25/2025

I took a look - you are answering all those comments - that's tough 😁 I mostly avoid - too many people use Reddit to vent.

but all good - not banned yet

Yes! If your share isn't deleted, you are a winner. 😀

Wow, I had no idea so many subreddits were this Hive-friendly!

giathebao's avatar @giathebao 4/26/2025

This is a very informative post. I have not heard of some of these subreddits, but definitely saved a few to check out later. Thank you for sharing!

theonlineluxe's avatar @theonlineluxe 4/26/2025

Reddit is ultra paranoid when anything crypto is mentioned. Many of the subs will give you a permanent ban if you provide crypto related links in comments.

x-rain's avatar @x-rain 4/26/2025

It is generally true about any social media on web2. But you can find crypto-friendly subs on Reddit.

theonlineluxe's avatar @theonlineluxe 4/26/2025

I have been trying to find the crypto friendly ones which also accept promoting external links. Got banned from three subs this week already. I'll try the ones you mentioned and see how that goes.

I've only been doing this for a few weeks, but my tip is to use a peakd link, not hive.blog. Hive.blog seems to be shadow banned on Reddit.

Also, if you want a payout, share articles written by people with names at the start of the alphabet. This is because the payout bot appears to work alphabetically, as opposed to date order.

So if it gets liquidity, it starts at "A" and continues till it runs out. Say it runs out at "J" and gets new liquidity 3 days later. It'll restart at "A" again, so new payouts at the start of the alphabet take precedence. It'll only do the full A to Z if there is sufficient liquidity for a single run - but that seems unlikely, so stuff at the end of the alphabet might not get paid out for months.

x-rain's avatar @x-rain 4/26/2025

Hive.blog seems to be shadow banned on Reddit

Why do you think so?

it starts at "A" and continues till it runs out

Very interesting - and weird. I never tried to understand this algorithm, assuming it was based on date order, because "why else"...

rose98734's avatar @rose98734 4/26/2025

Why do you think so?

If you post a hive.blog link, and log out, and it disappears from the New section, it's shadow banned. I think it dates back to when hive forked from steem and Justin Sun persuaded both twitter and reddit to blacklist hive.

Re the payout bot, take a look at your wallet - it'll have a redditposh memo saying "Comment payout for https://hivel.ink/@redditposh/re-xxxxx" and it will be in alphabet order based on the name of the author of the article you shared. (I was puzzled why newer shares were being paid out before older ones, till I noticed it was being paid in alphabet order).

x-rain's avatar @x-rain 4/27/2025

"Comment payout for https://hivel.ink/@redditposh/re-xxxxx"

Wow, looks like it works this way. I found a quite long row of payments in someone's wallet - alphabetical:

Amazing discovery 😄 Thank you!

hive.blog... ...shadow banned.

But this theory is wrong since, look:

I logged out, and this is my hive blog share on my profile:

Then I went to see my share in reddit.com/r/northdakota/new/ and this is my share in r/northdakota/new:

You also can't get upvotes for shadow banned links and comments. But I and all guys have had a lot of upvotes over the last months for hive blog shares. Probably, hive blog has been banned in subreddits where you share links lately (or something else).

Maybe that's what it is. I'll have to try some new subreddits!

acidyo's avatar @acidyo 4/29/2025

While you're right that it is in alphabetic order for some reason, rest assured the pending payouts are being stored and will eventually be paid out as well. The queue is quite long as things stand atm due to the sudden increase in sharing and how well they started doing. We may try and pause the hbd contest payouts for a while to catch up with the 410 pending payouts we currently still have.

bpcvoter3's avatar @bpcvoter3 4/29/2025

So, @themarkymark, You Downvote Others to Ensure Rewards Go to You and Your Friends?

Let’s break this down, @themarkymark. You downvote others—often honest contributors—to manipulate the reward pool, ensuring that payouts flow directly to you and your inner circle. We’ve already exposed the Buildawhale scam farm, providing clear evidence of its exploitative practices, yet nothing has been done to stop it. Why is that?

Here’s just one example of how this plays out:

The blockchain doesn’t lie, and neither do we. Buildawhale continues to farm rewards, hoard influence, and silence critics—all while claiming to “help” Hive. But let’s be honest: the only people being helped are you and your associates.


Why Has Nothing Been Done?

The lack of action against these harmful practices raises serious questions about accountability on Hive. Are bad actors being protected because of their influence? Is the community too divided or apathetic to demand change? Or are the mechanisms for addressing abuse simply inadequate?

Whatever the reason, silence only enables further exploitation. Every day that schemes like Buildawhale go unchecked, Hive loses credibility, trust, and potential growth.


A Call for Accountability

To the Hive community, witnesses, and leaders:

  • Audit Voting Patterns: Investigate accounts like Buildawhale that exploit the reward system through coordinated downvotes and farming.
  • Implement Safeguards: Introduce measures to prevent manipulation and ensure fairness in reward distribution.
  • Hold Bad Actors Accountable: Stop enabling exploitative behavior and prioritize the health of the ecosystem over personal gain.

Final Thoughts: The Truth Is Out There

LOL, but seriously—the evidence is undeniable. If Hive wants to thrive, it’s time to confront these issues head-on. @themarkymark, your actions speak louder than your words. Instead of defending exploitative practices, why not use your influence to create a fairer, more sustainable platform?

The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful reform. Together, let’s build a Hive that empowers everyone—not just a select few.


From the Bilpcoin Team: Transparency and fairness are the keys to unlocking Hive’s true potential. Let’s work together to make it happen.
