If only I had been so consistent when I was at university, or with any of the jobs I have ever had.
Oh my gosh I so wish the same thing except with the extremely limited organisational skills that I have now XD
I was reasonably good at consistent, my organisational skills right now are pretty bad and they were several orders of magnitude worse before
I wish there were more.
At least you realise there's some still knocking around XD A week or so ago maybe I felt the need to point out to some people on snaps who were lamenting about how no one realises that snaps is the future yet even if the "oid guard" doesn't like it and why aren't there any whales here that there were actually "whales" (or at least very large accounts) using snaps (and probably the other microformats as well, I just pay most attention to snaps).

I am yet to fully comprehend why it is so hard to first get and then keep people around Hive
From the ones I've spoken to over the years (so extremely heavy art bias):
- constant harrassment by hivewatchers (they weren't doing anything "wrong", it was things like didn't want to "verify" or have another site to "verify" with either because they like keeping things separate or straight up didn't have one, getting "warned" or downvoted for "too similar content" because they had the audacity to to post works in progress) and non-compliance means getting "blacklisted" (and when they're new/haven't yet understood how everything works they don't realise it's a non-issue here)
- rampant entitlement (I don't know if real or perceived, I didn't always witness all engagements outside of my select little groups) from people "expecting" upvotes/comments from the people who were upvoting/commenting the most leading them to burn out and basically not return from their "breaks"
- only vaguely related as I don't remember what post I saw this on but I have seen a comment in my early days along the lines of "I expect your full 100% upvote" (I don't remember if they were demanding it for the comment or their latest post)
- you've had the vote begging spam on discord
- they came here hoping for a different type of economy or at least improvements and all they're seeing is a reflection of the current economy
- in a couple of specific cases they were upset that it seems that in order to get anywhere you have to be "endorsed" by a larger account before people start noticing you otherwise you're practically invisible
- perceived better engagement elsewhere (some of them were good enough to get consistent help from algorithms)
- I don't know about now but then signup was painful (I remember thinking very hard about it and I'm a little bit tech savvy) so there will be who knows how many that were too intimidated to get past signup
- posting on other platforms was just easier/more aesthetically pleasing (and if they forgot their passwords or want to change their usernames that's all extremely easy, now that I think about it some of them may have just stopped posting because they lost their keys and couldn't be bothered trying to rebuild another account)
people go where the masses are
Speaking purely from a marketing perspective, "you're stupid if you don't".
the other option is "I don't care if I'm stupid" which is where I'm at now XD
They might just be proselytising on X or wherever as it's most visible and have accounts on other things where they're basically preaching to the converted or they might just not know enough to know that better alternatives exist.
Hive should have an OOTB solution for crypto communities to plug a community into
Having tried to help out on projects with similar ideas but different platforms, it might still be not that easy (it's been a good long while for me and I assume stuff has changed).
anyone thinking vibe coding as a solution had better be prepared to immediately follow up with OF COURSE and VERY OBVIOUSLY they're doing some hardcore security audits because they're well aware that even if they explicitly prompt the ai to code securely and defensively it might still just do things that "just work" in a way that will break or introduce vulnerabilities, or they actually know what they're doing and all the vibe coding is just basic tedious time wasting things that still need to be done that the ai can't stuff up that is really boring and tedious to do that will be checked over and implemented
Happy hiversary :D And yay for getting the card/s you wanted, decent present, maybe it knew xD and hope you got some energy back so you could play a few games XD
What improved them - mine still suck :D
All your points are valid in terms of retention, and there are many more. This one is interesting for the artist community.
This is how it was back in the day, as artists had "whale" patrons who paid and promoted them in their whale circles. It was necessary to get patronage to survive, hence so many starving artists. I think it is valid on Hive because it is more direct than the platforms driven through AI and algorithms. But, I also think that many artists don't earn still, but they get eyes on their work. That is needed here.
Yes and no. If entering an already saturated market with something similar to the flood, what is the point?
I have no idea about implementation of an OOTB package, but it can't be that hard, can it? ;D
A combination of the pseudorganiser and a calendar. I'd been using a schedule with alarms and all on my Nextcloud instance for as long as I've had the calendar on Nextcloud but I did the usual rookie mistake of alarms for everything so I got amazing at ignoring them. I've since pared it back to alerts I actually need (appointments and work mostly) and everything else the calendar is just on one of my screens or easy enough to get to.
The pseudorganiser is a digital variation of a bullet journal built in Obsidian. So far it's been the only type of planner/organiser/thing that's been effective (to some value of effective) probably because I made it so I guess that's what you have to do if you can't find a pre-made system that cooperates with your brain (or that your brain will cooperate with, I haven't quite worked out how that works yet).
My brain is just a giant glitch sometimes though so despite all that there are still several occasions where it will just death latch onto literally anything other than what I'm supposed to be doing.
It's not really too different now and while I don't think anyone would ever not be grateful for a whale patron I think some people were hoping that it would be different somehow (I'm not sure how given that even when you take away the crypto aspect you're still going to get likes/upvotes/comments/favs/whatever if someone happened to like what they saw enough to decide to stop scrolling long enough to interact).
I am reminded of this entitled narcy brat on dA who had a tantrum about how favs were worthless and people should be leaving comments instead of just faving and someone commented that they should be grateful that anyone liked their "ugly art" enough to fav it at all
Purely numbers. With so many people you have a higher chance of finding your people and getting noticed. Nobody wants to acknowledge the fact that the opposite is also true (at least for the getting noticed part). Pretty much the same reason why "everyone" is on X and Instagram and Youtube and whatever instead of here and Mastodon and Diaspora and whatever.
After you've recovered from me throwing something at you from across the globe, please feel free to jump in and help, the open source world can always use more contributors XD
hope you know how to audit if you're vibe coding, that seems to annoy maintainers a lot :D
Having said that I reckon you'd be great at documentation (contributors aren't just coders).
