I will say this again, as I have said many times before: You can build a web site with content, but it takes engagement to build a COMMUNITY.
And what "sells," in terms of attracting new users, is having a vibrant community. I appreciate the Engagement League, and I'd like to think we can get from the current 300-400 making a blip each week to somewhere in excess of 1,000 users a week. They would be the backbone of Hive... I also hope old initiatives like "Newbie Re-Steem Day" can be reborn on Hive to make our newcomers feel like they just got involved with a friendly place.
I do believe we have a bright future ahead... BUT it's up to US to create that bright future. There is no "them" who's gonna make it happen...
And a community of communities, as the user-base grows.
Newbie resteem day was a fine initiative, is something similar not active at present with @heyhaveyamet? (Could be wrong on the account name there)
I do think many were waiting for Steemit Inc to push the project, but are understanding that it has to be on us - a good thing.
@abh12345 Nope the name is correct , we introduce everyday, open to both chains so people have options. @denmarkguy we also have the #redfishrally starting again in 3 days. And the discord theterminal for all the help that's needed for all the new expletive on board or the more established ones that just want to help, so you are welcome to help. In what ever way, just contact @thekittygirl or me please.
As for engagement @abh12345 i will try, i think its so great that @melinda010100 and @dswigle are back so we might just want to take it back 8 months and go back to the time that the chair for our old friend at NUMBER 1 was all we were thinking about to beat him, and the times that i was much higher than number 17
Stay safe
Glad to hear! I will try to check on the intro feed as much as possible. Is there an account that re-hives the best of new users posts?
Same! The numbers are likely to improve right away :D
Yes the @heyhaveyamet is, me and @jamerussell do the hive and the steem intros, without the oneliners and the appics ones , and we have the blog up everyday, some days there arent any so thats when we skip but yes both chains, and the redfishrally from @theterminal ( former @steemterminal ) is starting again, and the redfish get challenges and help, prizes and whatever tokens we have ,
Busy but very rewarding
And that those two ladies are back, yep will make a huge difference
I hope to help boost it and I will talk to JJ. :) and Johann. What about @janton? He needs to tie up the first chair there!
Oh, let's get this party rolling!
!tip
So, you want to talk to me, dear Denise? ... too late ;)
To be honest, I've really enjoyed the silence in the past months, but I was also missing something somehow - so, let's boost the numbers, as @melinda010100 says, but don't expect too much.
Asher @abh12345, if you don't mind, please add me to the EL list again ✍️
Maybe you can get @janton back too :)
!invest_vote
@johannpiber YAY! @janton hasn't even found time to do much posting the last few weeks, so I suspect he will be hard to convince to join in. It's worth a try though!
Hehe! I asked JJ to talk with you. He is joining again too. No big expectations, I don't have the extra time anymore, but, we can boost a few numbers! @johannpiber ... Just go easy on me and don't make me look too bad... :)
@johannpiber denkt du hast ein Vote durch @investinthefutur verdient!

Votet @cervisia for Witness
🎁 Hi @brittandjosie! You have received 0.1 HIVE tip from @dswigle!
@dswigle wrote lately about: The Darkness And My Soul Feel free to follow @dswigle if you like it :)
Sending tips with @tipU - how to guide.
And since they both asked me nicely, I to will by this message ask to rejoin the league, and also will sponsor number 16 again from this week if that's OK ;)
I hope I can give the numbers a bit of a boost @brittandjosie! It would be fun to see more of the old EL crowd joining in for a while to boost the Hive numbers a bit while we are all spending more time at home!
Who else do we need to come back? @tattoodjay? @johannpiber? Let's all give the EL numbers a boost!
lets get the old crowd together i am coming back, but not as active as I used to be
Oh good! Thank you. Together we can be a force for good on Hive! 💪
we can do what we can do :)
At least we know we can make the EL numbers bigger!
