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:

Screenshot 2025-01-23 at 21-11-05 The Economy Has Failed the American People But It's Taboo To Say Why r_collapse.png

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:

Screenshot 2025-01-23 at 10-39-34 Publish PeakD.png

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.
