RE: How can we improve user retention on Hive?

We feel like we need more dedicated platforms built on the tech instead of just trying to promote the community itself. We are using other parts of the tech to try and onboard new musicians and fans and putting focus on music minted through NFTs on Hive-Engine, not posts.

It's been a problem since inception. Most Hive developers are pretty lazy, only wanting to make forks of the same front ends showing the same content as all the others. The users need to just be attracted to the platform, not the blockchain running it. As a matter of fact, we are about to expand to EVM chains because the Hive community is so bare, but with Hive @keychain bringing EVM wallets to the HK wallet, that is going to be a game changer on it's own right.

The problem is the toxicity with the top whales and the censorship on the platform. That's a huge problem that honestly will never go away as long as they are still running the chain, so we just have to figure out ways to use the chain in ways they can't influence near as much!

And then there is the account creation process and onboarding... That can be difficult for average people to get through.
