Hive Communities Analysis | July 2021 | Communities Created, Top Communities by Subs, Activity and HP Weight

avatar

Hive communities officially arrived in February 2020. Before this there was in a test phase that starting from October 2019.

Communities should allow users to find content of their interest easier and also post in the communities of their interest, allowing them to connect more with people alike. It should help discovering content as well.

There have bees some well established communities on Hive, and some new coming in. Some of the communities already have their token as well on Hive Engine.

Here we will be looking into the following things:

  • Number of Communities created
  • Top Communities by number of subscribers
  • Top Communities by activities
  • Top Communities subscribers’ stake
  • Top Communities by active authors

As already mentioned, communities went live officially in February 2020, but they were in a test phase before that. The period above is from November 2019 till July 27, 2021.

Number of Communities Created

First let’s see the total number of communities created with time.

We can notice that there are communities created before the official launch date, but the spike in the number of communities created is quite visible in February 2019. On February 20, there was more than 200 communities created. Afterwards the number dropped and lately there is just a few communities created per day. Interesting there is another spike around September 23th, 2020.

In the last period there is a few communities created per day, usually in the range of 1 to 5.

There are around 2650 communities now on the Hive blockchain.

The monthly chart looks like this.

Quite a steady number of new communities per month around the 50 mark in the last year.

Top Communities By Number Of Subscribers

Who are the top communities on the blockchain?
We will be looking at this by more than one parameter, but for starters lets take a look at the most obvious one, the number of subscribers.

Here is the chart.

03.png

The GEMS community comes first with almost 14k subscribers, followed by OCD and DTube. Photography lovers, Leofinance and Hive Gaming in the top as well with more than 5k subscribers.

Overall, the numbers of subscribers in the communities keeps on growing.

Top Communities By Subscribers’ Stake

Another interesting way to rank communities is the stake of their subscribers. After all we are on a DPoS chain 😊.
What is the stake weight of the subscribers in each community?
Here is the chart.

04.png

In this type of ranking the OCD community comes on top. The HiveDevs community is on the second place followed by LeoFinace and then GEMS. Hive Gaming on the 5th position.

Top Communities By Activity

The number of subscribers in a community and their stake is important. But more important probably is how active the communities are.

Here is the chart for the top communities by the number of posts made in the last 30 days.

05.png

Actifit, the short form fitness app on the top, followed by GEMS and D.Buzz, another short form app. Leofinance on the forth place, and Proof of Brain is 5th. PoB is the new on this list.

Top Communities By Active Authors

What about active authors? How many in the last 30 days?

06.png

This can be basically MAU (monthly active users) per community.
GEMS is on the top here by a lot, with almost 1300 authors, followed by LeoFinance with almost 800 authors. Foodies and the Photography lovers in the top as well with more than 500 authors per month.


Hope to see more communities and more development on this side 😊. The gaming communities seems to be growing, Splinterlands and the Axie community with the axiebuzz initiative.

All the best

I never understood the GEMS community. It's like an Everything section at Walmart.

That is not really a community on the Hive blockchain, but rather a video game. And nowadays one of the best video games on the Hive blockchain. It even has an Android app. I know that there is a Splinterlands community too, but that is currently nowhere near the top.

Yeah as great as Splinterlands is it's not really promoting Hive. It's like gaming on consoles. Users would be active on their game communities to connect* with other gamers but they don't really care or need to join any SONY/MICROSOFT forums in order to enjoy their game or interact with their friends.

So what's missing?

*CONNECT.

Hive is losing that to DISCORD.

If users had a chat system ON HIVE then those gamers would have a secondary tool built on Hive that would then be able to present them ability to open new doors and see what else HIVE has.

Shit it's just insane that the same person that built Splinterlands also created BEECHAT yet he doesn't develop it to the point where it can become completely integrated with HIVE and kick discord to the curve.

@aggroed the question becomes.. WHY?

You likely make good dough from SL and will make more now... but then you made a post recently wanting grassroots support for you as a witness.. so then don't you think HIVE needs that chat feature as a fundamental.

Because developing something to be truly exceptional is intense.

I understand your point, but I don't see it as big of a problem that Discord exists, simply because it's just too good. If we want to compete with Discord, we have to offer something that Discord doesn't have, which is difficult, simply because it's really good at what it does.

You say "compete" but I don't mean that something high level needs to be created as a way to try to take the fight to Discord.

I only believe that A CHAT option here on Hive is a must in order to have normies feel connected from the get go. Hive needs to facilitate that network effect by it's own means.

Of course people will always use other platforms for communications but I think as long as Hive has absolutely NO CHAT option then normies and outsiders in general are going to find the whole "Join The Revolution" and "Hive is a Social platform" somewhat laughable.

The most basic things are missing here and because of that, the people that decide to commit are prominently money chasers and ones that are well versed with internet and technology already.

Clearly crypto is about money but in order for that second layer to take off (the thing that all here essentially want and believe will be where Hive shines), then the system needs to be able to attract and retain a large audience of any kind without needing external tools to just live up to the 'SOCIAL' claim.

KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!

Hive needs to simply retain a much larger bulk of users first without making it feel that they need to learn the tech or even download anything other than a decent Hive frontend app (which doesn't exist!!).

Just an account creation and you're in you simpleton!

Then once that influx of new users is flourishing, Hive can attract business minds and business ventures.

As is, people here think people with the ambition to "BUIDL" are either going to be OK with building something for tiny audiences.. or worse.. they're expected to actually bring their audience here and carry the burden of the ridiculously cumbersome onboarding process that is in place.

FUCK THAT!

PeakD has chat and DM. Had it for awhile. Seems to work fine.

Yes I know and that's my point that it was developed by the guy who runs Splinterlands but yet still majority of people prefer to take social connectivity to discord.

That's insane.

Yet people pretending that this here will be attractive to mainstream...

ok.

It's a bit of mess. Some of these folks are fans of segregated cliques. It'll bite them in the ass down the road. I've grown bored of talking about how important it is to build and maintain roads between projects in order to take advantage of a shared consumer base.
