Make sure to use the #monomad tag somewhere among the first 5 in your post, otherwise we might miss your entries. If you drop it in sixth place (or above) your publication will not show up in the #monomad feed.



Also, a big thank you to the few curators who like to keep an eye over our [community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-142159/created) and #monomad entries. Much appreciated!
<p>
