Are we getting noisier? Tracking hive's posting activity
This is another random post from a random post.
$BTC climbed back up and I am checking if there's still interest on Hive...
Have you ever wondered just how many people are actually posting on Hive? And more importantly, is there a way to track this over time?
Let me share my thoughts as I try to make sense of this.
I love seeing new posts and new authors pop up on my feed. It's like a constant stream of creativity, knowledge, and community interaction. But it got me thinking - are we actually growing? Are more people joining the conversation, or is it just the same folks being extra chatty?
Do we have a chart or some sort of visual representation that shows the number of unique posters over time? I mean, wouldn't that be incredibly useful? That would be a nice growth indicator as it could give us a clear picture of whether we're attracting new voices to the platform. It can also indicate community health through that steady or increasing number of posts. That could indicate a thriving, engaged community. Not just numbers, we should track for content diversity. More unique posters likely means a wider range of topics and perspectives. Lastly, perhaps data on post related to platform development could assure us that people are working hard in community initiatives. I was feeling pumped when I see sharing related to Hive Fest!
Having a clear view of some of these posting trends could be incredibly valuable. It's not just about patting ourselves on the back for growth (though that would be nice). It's about understanding the evolving dynamics of our platform.
If you have the info, please share it with me! Remember, we're all in this together, building and shaping the future of decentralized social media. Here's to making Hive buzz with activity - meaningful, engaging activity!

It is all open and public in the ledger, you can see information in Huve Explorers
I know that but I wonder if someone had sorted that out in a chart.
Hey @cryptothesis, it's great that you enjoy seeing new users join the platform and are clearly very keen to see the Hive community grow. I see the correlation you're making between BTC price climbs and user related activity on the platform, that usually happens, particularly as many people are eagerly anticipating a bull run so more people will be sniffing around crypto right now. If we do get a bull run expect a lot more people to become interested in Hive.
I joined Hive two months ago and I have been both pleasantly amazed and disappointed in equal measure. Hive clearly is a uniquely innovative platform with a huge amount of potential but I question how much of the support for people's content is purely organic. I can see that so many people will publish a post knowing they are guaranteed votes no matter what they are posting about, irrespective of originality, impetus and quality.
In a bid to grow my stake I have so far bought around 1100 Hive and powered it up. I delegate most of my Hive to help with vote support and build my stake so I can get to a position where my vote really does have value. It would have been nice not to have done it this way but when I reflect on how much effort and time I have ploughed into my work on Hive with the posts I have published it can be a soul destroying experience when I see the post payout figures.
I have been advised that I'm not doing myself any favours by delegating out most of my HP. I have attempted to explain to people why I have been forced to delegate to grow my stake. I see that you too also have been delegating most of your 13k stake, so a lot more than me. Although I note you are currently in the process of cancelling your current delegations.
As someone who has delegated most of your stake, as I have done albeit with a much smaller amount, should this really be frowned upon or not?
I am relatively new to this platform and I am putting in 1000% effort not just with my posts but also getting involved with other people's work and building relations where I can, but my word it's not easy.
So at least Hive is attracting new people, I'm not quite sure how many new users are signing up though, and yes I agree with you it would be nice to obtain that data. I think we are a thriving and engaged community but it all feels very incestuous, it seems the thriving is about establishing 'arrangements' and little else.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I am cancelling my delegation as I was doing that to earn LEO.
I found that delegating to earn upvotes isn't that impactful. Better to post good contents. I think signing as a premium INLEO user could also be a good move. They would help curate your posts.
I am impressed with your enthusiasm.
I have been working on this platform for three years now and I put a lot of effort daily to put a post and this is the effort to continue my work in the same way one day I will surely go viral here.
good on you!
