RE: How can we improve user retention on Hive?
Personally, the way I want to onboard users is to bring them into a certain community and get them hooked onto that, not to the other aspects of Hive(no need to learn about rewards). Once they have a community here and people they come to talk to, they are much more inclined to stick around! If you look at the site I'm working on for that(https://youarethe.host/) you can see that it doesn't show rewards, has email login, and is as simple as possible to help people just be on chain without really needing to know they are on chain.

Interesting! The email login and hiding of the rewards make it easier for onboarding and adaption. But what happens with the rewards they gather? Do they actually get rewards when their posts are upvoted?
It looks really clean!
Yup, it’s just a normal Hive account under the hood, just with the rewards stuff hidden. Users who log in via email aren’t able to do any active key functions without “ejecting”(managing the keys themself and using something like keychain), but it’s all collected and waiting for them for the day they learn more about Hive. But by that point, even if they have earned very little, they’d have other reasons to stay rather than just the rewards.
