Navigating To Your Community
While logged in, you can access the community your account is linked to by:
Navigating to ' Profile' and clicking on 'My Communities' or;
Searching for your community using the Search bar on the homepage or;
Searching for your community using the dropdown found in 'Discover' > 'Communities'.
*Currently, it is only possible to link one community with a single account. As the need for adding additional team members/multiple communities to a single account becomes greater, Splash will consider adding these features for Splash members.
Understanding Splash Icons
Icons are used to represent the associated connections that any given blockchain or community has in its ecosystem.
In the above example for the Cardano blockchain, the icons represent (from left to right):
No. of Communities
No. of Apps
No. of Games
No. of Locations
No. of Digital Collections
No. of Fungible Tokens
No. of Fund Proposals
No. of Events
No. of Posts
Splash uses a weighted algorithm that improves the discoverability of a Community based on the number of connections associated with it and more importantly, how active a Community is on the platform.
*The quality of each Community listing is also taken into account, with optimized listings reaping more of the benefits - see Community Listing Optimization below.
Editing Your Community
From the profile dashboard under the 'Community' tab, a user is able to edit their community's general information and add any of their ecosystem's apps, games, locations, funding proposals and partner communities to their listing.
Click on the 'Edit' icon to access the inline editor.
Hover over the item which you would like to update and click on it.
Community items that can be updated include:
Name
URL stub *Keep this URL the same as your Community Name
Logo
Banner and/or YouTube link
Category tags (maximum of 2 tags allowed)
Blockchains your community is involved with
Whitepaper link
Community description
Social links
Website link
Community card
Community headline
Once you have edited an item click 'Save'.
When you are finished editing, click on 'View' to preview your listing.
*Community managers can choose to add any apps, events, games and more directly from the 'Community' tab, but for the sake of this walkthrough, we will look at each section individually in the pages that follow using the prerequisite tabs found in the profile section.
Community Listing Optimization
Splash is a web3 community directory that is indexed in search engines like Google and as such holds a ton of SEO (search engine optimization) value for communities to be discovered organically and grow their following.
Paying attention to a few optimization best practices can help to increase organic search traffic to your listing. All you need to do is:
Use brand keyword/s as your community name and your URL stub e.g. Splash - this is the H1 (heading) tag that tells Google what brand your listing page is associated with and is typically the keyword someone will search to find your project.
Craft a descriptive community headline that makes use of brand/industry keywords and describes the value/service your community provides and who you serve. Avoid stuffing this with keywords and always write for humans. Experiment with adding a Call-To-Action at the end of your headline to prompt visitors to click through e.g. Join the Next Wave of Web3 by Showcasing Your Community, Gamifying Your Token Distribution and Growing Your Following With Splash. Get Started Here!
Use brand keyword/s at the very beginning/first sentence of your community description. Make sure that you create a compelling introduction that includes industry keywords and showcases who you are, what you do and how you help your key customers e.g. Revolutionizing digital discovery, interaction and ownership, Splash is at the forefront of community engagement and digital sovereignty. Discover Web3 communities, collections, tokens, games and apps across multiple blockchains including Cardano, Polygon, Ethereum, Hedera, Klatyn and more. Play games, win NFTs and token prizes. Get rewarded for staking, holding, recycling and converting.
*Keep these optimization best practices in mind when adding any other connections to your community such as apps, games, funding proposals and more. The better optimized your entire listing is, the greater the likelihood that you will be found in Search.
Organizations
Organizations represent groups that have a larger number of partner members than a normal Community would and wish to highlight those relationships as part of the greater Organization.
Organizations typically include blockchain foundations, entertainment/gaming networks, and other entities that have a portfolio of companies under their banner.
Communities wishing to change their Community Listing to an Organization can contact Splash via Twitter.
