RE: Early Week through Adrian's Lenses (3 - 7 May 2025)
this tbh- either way, it's a learning curve both for our users and for theirs when it comes to how we use the ecosystem, and who we are actually building for :) encouraging the DigiByte main account to create a space here where some of their users may engage is a bonus, especially because in some ways their community is even more decentralized than ours in some ways, especially their overall comms.
Working through where there may be good tech integration fits has been a big part of this week and we drew a lot of engagement on outside platforms. We have a lot we're trying to see if we can make stick together... but that being said, even one account sharing news (especially from a different blockchain) is a way to open more doors to the outside for our social platforms, gives us feedback about useability from other crypto lovers who haven't been immersed in what it's like to grow alongside the evolution of dapps here (v valuable to our builders, if we're being honest), and also forces us to think more about the fact that we've built communication tools for EVERYONE in the hopes that it will give them something they need and draw them in.
What will we do when everyone starts coming, even if it is one at a time? Or if they're not Hive fanatics and just see and think of our social platforms as more socials for them to use? Call them unhelpful or not useful because they weren't enough or didn't do what we expected or wanted them to? Good food for thought.
This is a very important point! Even if we sometimes offer our own feedback, we really need the impressions of outside eyes who aren't used to our front ends and tools to better gauge the pain points for new users of different categories, both tech savvy and not.
Absolutely! You guys probably see even better how complicated our front ends may seem to new users from their reactions or questions (or lack thereof) at conferences.
It is why we have such a poor retention, in general, even if we bring quite a few people at times. I still believe a better gamification would help a lot. I know we've based on the fact that new users, if they don't understand something, they'll ask around... After all, we are on a social network and we need to build relationships. But I am sure some are shy or don't want to look stupid by asking "the wrong questions". And they won't, even if they are encouraged. There, gamification would really help. Because they'd go through a relatively clear process of progression, which people generally enjoy.
