Talking about the elephant in the room is usually uncomfortable, many times not accepted well, and often ignored... But, it's important to talk about things, even if they are ugly... Ignoring doesn't help with finding solutions, and in my opinion, #HHHLive is a nice place where you can share your views and opinions... I don't expect that we will solve the problem of retention or onboarding, but we can change some ways, bring some new ideas, brainstorm together... Like we did in the last show!
We are all Hivians, in the first place... Being an OG, or being a newbee, shouldn't be something that should divide us, or make us more important than someone else... Sometimes, newbies have a different/fresh view of HIVE, which could be very valuable feedback, and sometimes, a hard pill to swallow... Especially when we, "older" Hivians living in a bubble, think how everything is just fine...
So, what would we talk about in the next show?
There are many onboarding initiatives, some of them more successful, some less... But, most of them are focused on a very specific thing, HIVE account creation! This is fine, but we need to do more if we want to retain those users on our chain... We were talking about "filtering" posts, making HIVE more searchable, and making good content creators more visible, but in this case, we should maybe work more on "filtering" new users, too!
Not all newbies are the same... Not everyone is a content creator, a Splinterlands player, a developer, etc. I mean, a lot of us came in "one role" and continued our journey in a different role... In my case, I came on the chain to play Splinterlands, but when I realized the social side of it, I went into content creation, engagement with the community, etc. All that is great WHEN you are already "hooked" on HIVE... To get there, we need to be more specific...
If you come for blogging, you get accepted by a specific community with your interest... If you come for gaming, you land on a page where you get links to the HIVE games... If you come as a developer, you get on the Hive.IO website... We should have MANY landing pages, specifically "designed" for different types of users...
This is just one point of view, but there are a lot of ways to combat the retention issue, and by sharing views, we can find the best way to do things... Or best WAYS! Please don't fall into the trap, "It's my way or the highway!" We don't want that kind of mindset on HIVE...
How was the last show? As I mentioned earlier, we had a fantastic show last week... It began as an ordinary interview with @Borniet, and ended as a true brainstorming session, trying to help out with ideas and implementations for his projects! Awesome!!! If you didn't attend, I would strongly suggest that you check out the official recording here!
For all the participants, there are some LEN tokens for attending the show and some special rewards (in Ecency POINTS) for those who are the bravest and come on the voice during the show!!! Don't forget that NOBODY is obligated to talk in the show, so you CAN come to listen and engage with others in the text chat... 😉

Don't forget to follow, reblog, and browse my Hivepage to stay connected with all the great stuff!
About retention of users there is a new initiative to support new users, @lovesniped, it's an account that follows new accounts so you can go there and support whoever you find interesting... It's part of the @lovesniper initiative
That's interesting as a first step... I think I heard about that idea a few weeks ago in one of the Discord shows!
We need more of these, supported by community leaders!
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 display on the chain in some conversations about retention. I hope that someday we can agree more, than we actually disagree on important conversations
Thanks for this input! I quoted you at the very beginning of the show!
And thanks for joining! 🙏
Oh really? Thanks a million for putting up the show. It was great to talk as well.
I'll try to be there .... if the elephant in the room would move over
i'm in trouble now i think 😂😂😜😜
Why is this elephant playing the piano...? 🤔
Oh, but he is in the jungle, not in a room 😜
I sense some strange vibes... 😂
Maybe it's time to balance out things here and onboard your wife to HIVE! 😜

See you there! 🍷
And I came here for video sharing, while searching alternatives to Youtube, as seen from my username :) However, I became a content creator and now I think HIVE is not suitable for video blogging 😄
On one side, I have to admit that 3Speak isn't the most reliable service recently, but on the other side, I wouldn't write it off yet... You can do video blogging here... The only thing is that you will not have those thousands and thousands of views that you can get on more popular social media...
Well, you are doing a great job as a content creator, too! So, no worries there! 😃
It is because I think that a lifetime revenue is more reasonable than seven-day revenue for a video.

Thanks for the mention, I'll do my best to attend!
We count on you! You are assimilated and can't miss any future shows! 😃
Ay ay, sir!
Retention is a tough issue to solve, and I think its a good topic to talk about here on Hive. I look forward to the recap or video.
We will see how it goes in the show! It's not a "sexy" topic, but I hope people will share and add ideas to this issue... 😉
