Over 6500 comments and 6500 replies. Interesting, how well balanced they are.

Most of us on Leofinance are now counting minutes till PolyCub launches. I am doing that too, while listening to Khal at Crypto Maniacs podcast (recording from yesterday).

But I thought we have and will have plenty of PolyCub posts, both in anticipation and after the launch we expect in a few hours (as I write this). I'm sure I'll write my own posts on the topic, it is after all the hot thing happening these days in the Leoverse.

And I am as exciting as most people about the launch, the airdrop and the expected hype. I'll just be with my eyes and thoughts waay down the road, not at the hype days.

So, today, I'd like to talk about a milestone apparently I have reached yesterday: over 6500 comments made on Hive.

I've been on Hive for a little over 4 years. That would bring my average comments per day to somewhere between 4 and 5. It would have been better to be 5, but a little over 4 is ok.

I believe engagement is critical in what we are building here, the next generation blogging, social media and communities. This is part of why I love Listnerds, for its exceptional capacity to boost engagement on someone's post.

I admit this is a milestone I am pretty proud of. Much more than the fact that I distributed probably close to 90000 upvotes. But many of them were and are automated and come as a result of following a few curation trails over time.

While comments are all written by me, in many cases after reading the entire post, and occasionally the previous discussions too. That's a lot more valuable in my opinion than clicking an upvote button, even if you do it manually. Well, maybe if you are a whale we can give you a pass, lol.

Another milestone that goes hand in hand with comments is replies. Not so long ago I noticed I passed another level on the replies number, but never got to write a post about it.

Looking at hivebuzz.me, it seems I also replied over 6500 times.

It's interesting that the replies and comments are so well balanced. I do reply and upvote commenters on my posts, but I also vote and comment on other people's posts. Don't know how these numbers are so close, but that's interesting.

Haven't looked at hivebuzz stats in a long time. I'm discovering new things. Looks like I'm getting closer to my 1000th post too. Should get there very soon.

Now... back to counting minutes till PolyCub will be launched. :)

Congrats on the level you reached.

Now onto 10K comments. The more we make, the more we get. It is interesting how that is how it works.

Listnerds might help with that. I'm pretty sure I'm way above the average on posts that I shared there.

Lol, thanks for doing that math! It might be doable... relatively. Because there will be days when there won't be as many or any at all. Like tomorrow for example, I'll be away most of the day.

but if you start committing to it now, you can have plenty of these days if you add 5 more comments to some other days :) just a matter of perspective :)

That's a tough target to commit to, with all the things that I need to do daily besides engaging.

Thanks! Not bad, it's true. I don't compare with Task for sure. I don't even want to look how many he has, lol.

Congratulations. 10k shouldn't be that hard so long as you continue posting and visiting ListNerds.

Oh, I'm gonna reach it. When, that's debatable. I don't compare with you or Task on engagement, not even close.

You don't have to compare with me or task. I think there are like 300 days left so if you leave 10 comments a day, you might reach it by the end of the year.

@thisismylife was kind enough to do the math for me. It breaks down to 13 comments per day. That wouldn't be such an issue, unless I miss days, and I likely will, or be slower on the commenting side.

I honestly think that you get 13 easily without even noticing it. Just a few listnerds posts alone where you leave a comment, maybe respond a second time. I noticed that I'm suddenly in the engagement league again without trying lol, I get notified that I got some ecency points :D

Ok, if all you guys are pushing me towards 10k, let's make it a goal then. :)

Make it easy on yourself by creating a weekly and monthly goal so you know you're on track and don't worry if one week is a little less. What I do at the end of the week, I calculate how many I have left until my goal, and divide it by the number of weeks left, so I can see that my average is a little higher or lower. Usually, you barely notice it though. I bet you can do it, and I can help you by responding to your comments so you will respond one more time, haha :)

Sundays are reserved for my Hive goals posts. Likely I will include it in today's post, as a new goal for this year.

Thanks Jon! I am pretty pleased with these numbers, especially since I haven't always been very communicative. I go through phases, I guess.
