@stevevc > "I just don't have time to do multiple sites"

I'm #newhere on SteemIt, and have been using Minds.com for a few months now. I agree with your assessment that posting on multiple sites is a nuisance, and I have been pestering the Minds staff to set up an #IFTTT service so that I can crosspost more easily between various social media sites. I see similarly that there is no IFTTT service available yet for SteemIt. However, one big advantage I see immediately of SteemIt over Minds is that I can link to individual replies here, where Minds limits us to only linking to the opening post of a thread.

I do find it rather ironic though that these "Facebook killer" sites like SteemIt and Minds mainly only provide automated social sharing to FB and Twitter. I see SteemIt also automates sharing to Reddit. Having an IFTTT service would provide an abstraction layer, allowing us to share (even bi-directionally) from/to SteemIt with any other online site which also has an IFTTT service. I think this needs to be considered by these new sites, and thought given to how to allow such automated cross-posting without gaming the crypto.
