This post sums up my own whole Hive experience. And yes, I have noticed the fading away in my own posting activity, as well as that of others. Sure, many great hiveans have disappeared, making me wonder why, or where they are active these days, if at all. But it's true: "Hive is an outlet to be creative where I own my content." So that's why I am still here.
One thing that tends to re-ignite my enthusiasm occasionally, are new projects, at least as long as they keep working out. Only a couple of days ago (I was on a bike trip over the last six weeks, so I barely came online) I discovered Rafiki Auto Vote, after not not having had one for a long time. But now it seems like it's not working. Or, there is this new way of posting film reviews (and books, music, etc.), but I still need to get my head around it.
But I totally agree: Let's keep supporting each other for the original purpose we are here!
Re-igniting the enthusiasm for the community is important. I hate that is aligned with the price of Hive. I have been trying to think of ways to help out. The only thing I have been able to come up is a creator supporting creator initiative. What I mean by that is if you have a friend or someone you always support drop their name and each of us can head over and start a conversation.
Right, quality over quantity. It's actually not a bad idea to do some house cleaning among the accounts I follow. Most of them are inactive, meaning they haven't posted in a year or more. That revised following list should also reflect to others who I am in contact with.
Here it is.
