Scaling up would address a few issues that Hive has. We get the same people on trending all the time, but that will not easily change thanks to automated votes. I agree that communities could be key. People want to find others with the same interests and they currently go to other platforms for that. We need to tempt them over here, but I really don't know how. We can each try to discuss the options with friends.
Well, we could all do our part to diversify Hive as much as possible. The success of FB, Instagram and others is driven by their openness to diversity; anybody can have a voice there. We could—and should—reproduce that here by not merely tolerating but, better yet, actively supporting new communities, so they can eventually establish themselves. That includes supporting non-English content.
This is vital. People should not have to write in another language if they have a community with their own. Hive should be for everyone.
Precisely. And anyone can machine translate any content with the tool they prefer. AI-driven MT, Google Translate, Deepl... Whatever works for you.
We've got translation built into the Hive dapps, so language is not a barrier.
