Retention, Can We Do Better? .:. Recap of Hive Humpday Hangout Ep.45 + HHHLive Show Recording (June 4, 2025)

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=ph1102/boecrgkznu Before taking a 3-week break, we had three #HHHLive shows in a row, and they were awesome! The last one we were discussing user retention on HIVE, and it was great to see people involved, sharing their opinions on why we have that issue and how we could do better... The turnout in shows is getting better and better, which is additional motivation for all of us! People CARE about HIVE, and they show it! Created in Canva.com As I mentioned in the announcement post, the point wasn't to solve the issue, as it isn't that simple to do it, but rather to talk about it, make some tweaks in our everyday HIVE interaction, try to help out at places where we have the biggest influence... Retention isn't just a problem of big HIVE whales or Hive witnesses, it's OUR problem, of all of us... The show was very engaging, and multiple people shared their thoughts in voice, and almost everyone else participated with their input in the chat channel! To be honest, I was so focused on not skipping any comments that I didn't realize how fast time was flying... It was a split second, and we were already over 1 hour! There is no way to write about everything, so I will keep this description short and leave it to you to check out the recording of the show that you can find under... If you have a chance to watch it, you can follow the chat during the show, but you can also just listen, as with any ordinary podcast! I have tried to read all the comments from the chat so that you can just listen... At the beginning of the show, I read a fantastic comment by @josediccus that he left on the announcement post: I read a conversation somewhere, someone was trying to suggest some cool features that'll be good for Hive and they were quickly shut down by some users because they were new and hadn't earned the right to suggest anything. It was sad to see. This disparity is often displayed on the chain in some conversations about retention. I hope that someday we can agree more, than we actually disagree on important conversations That was a good reminder that everyone's opinion counts... There are no more or less worthy opinions, and we should have an open mind for newbie suggestions in the same way as for some OG views... Also, I shared my view regarding onboarding and retention as they are connected... How is someone onboarded, with a promise of what, what are their expectations, etc? When we know that information, we know how to guide new users to become successful Hivians and to enjoy their stay... The retention that we were talking about in the show was connected with the BLOGGING (Social Media) side of HIVE... Those Hivians who are here for Splinterlands, Rising Star, or some other apps are already guided by those apps, and they take care of the retention... But, on the blogging side, WE ARE THOSE who should take care of each other... First in voice was @godfish, who shared his retention views... As we can't be everywhere, we should focus on the place where we are "the strongest", and those are our communities, our "virtual" surroundings... Creating an environment to retain people... Simple things that count a lot, for example, replying to the comments on your posts, creating more engagement and discussion... @josediccus shared his views on retention and onboarding... He talked about how Web2 social media also changed over the years... A similar thing happened with HIVE, too, and we aren't in the same place where we were a few years ago! He noticed that HIVE isn't the only one with retention issues, many SM websites have that problem too... Also, other cryptos have that problem too... People are jumping from flower to flower, in search of an "ideal place"... We can do better, and we have room for improvement! We had so many great ideas in the chat, and in one moment the interesting question surged... "Why did YOU stay on HIVE?" If we answer that question, maybe we could understand better newbies and their expectations! Many participants answered it... @josediccus stayed for the community, @melinda010100 stayed as she got included and involved in Ecency, and others gave their inputs too... What connects us all is the COMMUNITY! We got comments that the learning curve on HIVE is a bit complicated and that we need more guides for newbies... Immediately after that was said, the links with tutorials began to pop out in the chat! Check them out and share them with those in need: https://jryze.me/hive/ https://www.ecency.com/@newbies-guide https://ecency.com/hive-110011/@victoriabsb/hive-blockchain-la-guia-completa-para-nuevos-usuarios (guide in Spanish!)

The show was over one hour long, and we had almost the same long after-show... We were talking about upcoming meetups in Aachen this August (organized by @detlev) and recently announced @BuzzParty that will be held next year in Alicante... Also, we were talking about spending HBD, POS terminals, etc. That part isn't recorded, so don't forget to stay after the show next time! Thank you, guys and girls, once again!
