Imho, it's one of the awkward moment of G+. If you share something with only just the community, followers of your page which aren't members of that community wouldn't receive notification about your post. Use case: I'd like to receive news from and about CouchDB, but I don't belongs to that community. So posting from page account and resharing with community sounds reasonable from point of cover all the followers.
On other hand, if you following CouchDB page and you're member of related community you'll receive duplicate notification, you'll see duplicated posts on your home page as like as on Posts page of CouchDB. Hopefully, this could be fixed via special "silent" circle. Things going crazy when you'd like to share something with multiple communities: you'll have N similar posts on your page and someone's too. Benoit knows how's that (: So, while this "design flaw" exists, imho, better follow the rule to cover more audience as possible - from this point your actions are reasonable. -- ,,,^..^,,, On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 3:12 PM, Noah Slater <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've been posting to both the CouchDB page *and* the CouchDB > community.
