Hive communities officially arrived in February 2020. Before this there was in a test phase that starting from October 2019.
Communities should allow users to find content of their interest easier and also post in the communities of their interest, allowing them to connect more with people alike. It should help discovering content as well.
With the media tokens updated communities can have their own tokens in the future.
Here we will be looking into the following things:
- Number of Communities created
- Top Communities by number of subscribers
- Top Communities by activities
- Top Communities subscribers’ stake
- Communities growth with subscribers
Number of Communities created
First let’s see the total number of communities created with time.
As already mentioned, communities went live officially in February 2020, but they were in a test phase before that. The period above is from November 2019 till June 22, 2020.
We can notice that there are communities created before the official launch date, but the spike in the number of communities created is quite visible in February. On February 20, there was more than 200 communities created. Afterwards the number dropped and lately there is just a few communities created per day. Interesting there is another spike around September 23th.
More than 2000 communities exist now on the Hive blockchain.
Top Communities by number of subscribers
Who are the top communities on the blockchain?
We will be looking at this by more than one parameter, but for starters lets take a look at the most obvious one, the number of subscribers.
Here is the chart.
The GEMS community comes first with 8.4k subscribers, followed by OCD and DTube. These three have been on top by the number of subscribers in the last report as well.
Some other know communities there as Hive Gaming, LeoFinance and PowerHouseCreative with more than 3000 subscribers.
Overall, the numbers of subscribers in the communities keeps on growing. We will check this out in a separate chart as well.
Top Communities by subscribers’ stake
Another interesting way to rank communities is the stake of their subscribers. After all we are on a DPoS chain 😊.
What is the stake weight of the subscribers in each community?
Here is the chart.
In this type of ranking the OCD community comes on top. The HiveDevs community is on the second place followed by LeoFinace. LeoFinance has been growing and surpassed the GEMS community that was on third spot in the last report.
Top Communities by activity
The number of subscribers in a community and their stake is important. But more important probably is how active the communities are.
Here is the chart for the top communities by the number of posts made in the last 30 days.
The GEMS community comes on top here, followed by Actifit and then LeoFinance. D.Buzz has been claimning the ranks and its also in top communities by number of posts as well. Shortform content is gaining.
Top Communities by active authors
What about active authors? How many in the last 30 days?
This can be basically MAU (monthly active users) per community.
The GEMS community is on the top here as well with more than a 1000 monthly authors. Next to it is LeoFinance that has growned in number of authors and its quite close now to GEMS. In the previous reports the GEMS community was leading by a lot.
Communities growth with subscribers
At the end, a chart with few of the communities that have showed a nice growth in the past months.
The HiveGaming community has done well growing to more than 4k subscribers. LeoFinance, OnChainArt, Natural Medicine all have gained significant numbers of subscribers. The Photography Lovers is an interesting one, although started later it has grown very fast and at the top.
Hope to see more communities and more development on this side 😊.
All the best

Thanks a lot!

Surprised that Leo is not at the top yet on stake... maybe because only idiots like me sell Leo! OCD is king!
It is crazy how the number of communities has grown so rapidly over the past several months. I think it is interesting that the GEMS community has so many people subscribed to it. I would have to guess it is mainly people chasing the big upvotes that sometimes get handed out in that community.

Great to see that it's a couple of quiet big communities out there, we need more and more diversed communities. Something for every taste!
Yes we do!
Boi really likes to look at charts! Well done!

Once microblogging comes along, we can expect more activity on Leofinance. I like the steady growth this place has been going lately. We just need to keep this momentum and it wouldn't be a surprise to see a spike of new users by the start of next year.

It's cool to see @dbuzz show up on the charts. I think they've got so much potential. They are making great partnerships outside of Hive: https://leofinance.io/@dbuzz/d-buzz-is-thrilled-to-announce-a-partnership-with-marketsquare-on-ark-io
It's nice to see the growth in Natural Medicine. People are finally starting to move away from the medical industrial complex run by pharmaceutical industry and their shills.

Yea dBuzz has been showing some nice growth!
Natural medicine is an interesting one as well.

I am surprised, before join here i am blogging and earn with adsense but its hard to get traffic and algoritma adsense to difficult for my small blog. Iam glad join here where the community brings me more knowledge about something new to me in crypto. The most important is "Sharing is Caring"

Does that indicate, we have a strong developer stake because they believe in hive ? And does that get used for rewards as well ? And good to see the Gaming community rising - that can bring great impact because once people love games here, they will spread the words and more and more will come.
The Hive dev community has a big HP mostly becouse of blocktrades and few others like gtg .... who have big stake
Holy cat! GEMS is breaking all barriers

Sports community is not even on the rankings? By sports, I mean the Sportstalksocial tribe. I'm sad because sports is one of my favorite topics.

Leofinance is really climbing the charts. The microblogging ought to send some of the numbers off the charts.
Excited to see how the next month unfolds. A lot of good stuff.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea Leo is showing growth on all mettrics :)
I'm still curios how that microbloging thing will look like. We will find out soon I guess :)
Yeah I am too. It was claimed that it will resemble twitter but we will see how it looks.
Only a couple weeks now I guess if the development timeline is still the same.
By the way, cool feature of opening the comment in a new tab.

What it is interesting is the correlation between the total hp, activity and subscribers. I like that leofinance.io is on top of most with a good mix, between HP, activity and users.
Most communities that are dependent on a single account for upvotes, like OCD with it's 4 mil HP, does not have that activity, mainly because it is centralized.
Where is crypto there are gamers, this is a fact and this communities will strive more and more, same as photography. I think we have more travel and sports communities, as they would also have made into top10 if there would be a single one.
It is good that there are many,as people will follow with interest what they like. If it is natural,this community will grow,like a normal site, which is not focused on rewards, like quora or reddit.
Thanks for the analysis!

Yea the best mix is to have more members with higher HP that are supporting that community. We still need to grow those to get there .... that would be ideal. OCD are supporting a lot of communities as well, like a startup ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
More like a VC fund :)
We are on a good track, the numbers are showing it. Focus shall be to bring new members from outside. This will boost the engagement. Bringing people from reddit for example is good, as they are more for the community in there, not rewards.
