I think these past days and months Hive is witnessing an all time high in low engagement and activity. Ofc if you look activity as a whole it's a bit more complicated than it seems. A simple example is that if in a month i do some transactions here on Hive, or even if i redeem my rewards i will be considered active.
At the same time, i could only do the above without making a single post and comment. So activity is a bit different than engagement. Let's talk about engagement now. These past few days i am constantly checking the engagment in general on my posts and around Hive/LEO.
In general, in average, regarding my post,s i get 1-2 comments but the last 5 posts managed to get 0. In case you say that my content is not good enough or something i beg to differ a lot. Also, basically, each post had a different thematology to try and see if it will attract specific audiences.
In case you still have doubts regarding my content, we can easily make a bet. Let me write the post for one of the top accounts on Hive and let's see the rewards and engagement it will generate!
Besides that though, i checked the trending page for about a week now and the total number of comments was around 5-10, with the rare occasions to go up to 20-50 tops. Note that we are talking about a platform where we have a couple of thousand "active" users.
Somehow, we need to increase engagement in order to at least build a strong community. Ofc that entails for each and every one, including me, to focus on speeding up our game. Even Hivefest has less and less people each year, we can blame it on distance and places that are chosen, but 50-60 people isn't something much to be honest. Even Khal the man behind LEO when he makes a post, he has like 0-5/6 comments most of the times, you can check his last post to confirm it.
Hive and LEO are more, we need more and we can do more!
