reesteemed

Reesteemed is a term commonly used on the Steem blockchain and its forks, such as Hive. It refers to the act of a user taking a post that another user has created and then sharing it with their own followers. This is achieved by using the "reblog" function, which is equivalent to a retweet on Twitter or a share on Facebook. When a user reesteems a post, it appears on their own profile and is visible to their audience, effectively boosting the original post's visibility and reach.

This mechanism is a core feature for content discovery and community building on these platforms. Users often reesteem content they find valuable, interesting, or that they believe their followers would appreciate. It serves as a way to curate content and highlight posts that might otherwise get lost in the stream of new publications. Some users may also reesteem posts from individuals they have a personal connection with or to support emerging creators. The reesteemed post retains its original author and all associated rewards.
