Have you mentioned Hive to bands you work with? I expect they have a social media strategy, but they have to manage their time so they can actually make music.

All the people/groups I get on to Hive, they lose interest after 2-3 weeks and leave the account dormant.
They get confused/bored/disillusioned really quickly.
Seems like a losing battle even recommending it.
I guess if I could somehow guarantee bands some upvotes for being active and spreading their music then maybe there’s a chance.
This is what I've found too. I think the confusion part is the biggest snag. I've tried to encourage d.buzz because it's short, simple, Twitter-like, familiar maybe. But frankly very few have gone from joining to posting. I will say the only one who has done a small bit of activity, and even checked "what's it called...Hive?" today, was a personal aqaintance, someone I personally know and speak to face to face. That may say something. I don't know, but I'm still very bullish Hive.
Same. I’ve onboarded like 50 people through my store and just family & friends. I think 1 or 2 have tougher it out and are actually trying to build their “brand” and engage. The rest post a handful of times and bail. I truly don’t know how to get folks to stay once I beat the odds to even get em to take a look.
Retaining users is as important as getting them in the first place. I've always tried to make it fun. I made very little to start with, but the social side was good. People use other platforms for no reward, but the attitude here can be different. This is why we need more compelling content so people want to hang around here.
Agreed 100%
