Hive is an amazing blogging platform where you get to meet people from all works of life. But to make things more organized here, there are communities. Hive communities are basically interest-based groups. So if you love music, art, natural medicine, acrobatics, writing, travelling or other interests, there are communities of people with those interests. You join the communities and share ideas, knowledge and motivation based on your interest. So in this tutorial meant for beginners, I will show you how to join a community and start posting your writeups in the community. Ofcourse, you are free to join any communities provided you share their interests and abide by community rules.
