Why Google Doesn't Hate Hive (It Just Can't Find Us) by @iamkaye

Very good SEO breakdown of the Hive.IO website! In the era of AI and "all automatic" things, who would imagine that Google wants it all served on a plate to go through the website...
Back in the day, I had a couple of websites where I would sell links to others, since my sites had good "specs" that would help others' SEO... Even then, there were strict rules from Google, and they were always a "moving target", keeping web admins on their toes...
Based on your information, it looks very similar nowadays too... Website should be active, dynamic, maybe with regular news, interesting to viewers, but also search bot crawlers... Let's see if those who have access to the site can change these few things... Small steps...

What a wonderful FungiFriday! We found some beautiful specimens [Esp/Eng] by @jlufer

What beautiful species you’ve found this time. The first one catches my eye the most because of its hat- or oyster-like shape, but even more so because you can cook with it and it has so many other uses. I’m struck by its size and, above all, the shape it takes on when viewed from below.
The second species is brilliant; I’ve never seen anything like it, and it has medicinal properties, that’s the best bit of all. The last species is also very rare and amusing at the same time; its pure white colour really stands out against the surroundings. What a wonderful post, Luis, some beautiful photos.

Hive Open Days: Alicante 2026 [Esp-Eng] by @enraizar

Thank you for this magnificent report about the HOD Alicante, from your perspective! As I didn't participate in all events, it was great to see how everyone had fun on Tabarca, and the last farewell dinner...
It was great to finally meet you IRL, and you were one of the people that I was excited to meet in person for the first time! I'm glad that you made it as the event wouldn't be the same without your participation, your specific humor, great discussions, and beautiful photos...
Until the next meetup!

Hive Open mic Week 318 | "Cover" Al estar ante ti by @mirel0510

It's been a long time since I recorded for Hive Open Mic, but I remember well what it meant to search for a song for the theme of the week; it was always the best part of Hive for me. That said, I'm here every day, and the themes are still fundamental to me, even though not everyone embraces them. You are wonderful to this community, not only for understanding and embodying it, but also for your musicality, your sweetness, and the messages you convey to everyone. Thank you for your strong presence in the Hive music scene; you are a radiant gem.

Film soundtracks and theme tunes: [Personal Opinión] ESP/ENG by @victor2356

What lovely memories you have of that first song – memories that will always come to mind and touch your heart whenever you hear it. It’s a shame that cinema no longer exists and has been left to fall into disrepair, but as you say, it will always remain in your memory.
I also have lovely memories of the film The Bodyguard and I love Whitney Houston’s singing. I remember renting that film on my 16th birthday. It was a great time for video clubs.
The last song and film are among my favourites; what a wonderful film dedicated to true love, and it really does stir up a lot of nostalgia. You’ve chosen three songs from lovely films, all romantic and destined to be timeless classics.

El valor de mamá | TBT [ESP-ENG] by @davidpena21

There are always some photographic memories that are more important than others, whether because of what the image represents or because it truly makes us relive the moment when we see it, but the most valuable thing here is the reflection you make on the love you have for your mother. It's wonderful to see her changes through so many phases of her life thanks to these photos, so thank you for sharing them on #TBT Thursdays, and especially for enjoying the simple act of writing these words to her
