A large part of my HIVE goals for 2025 are parsing through Communities and Tribes on Hive and seeing how they work. This includes looking at not only their incentivization but also their social dynamics. I'm particularly interested to discover the people that act as the social glue for HIVE communities.
The language and lingo changes on HIVE over time. Do you prefer the term "Tribe" or "Community"?
On outpost or tribe pages, what's the acceptable etiquette for self-voting? I haven't seen some discussion of this topic in some time.
A secondary goal for 2025 has been purchasing community tokens, so I have at least a little "skin" in the game. To that end I now have 12,319 ALIVE staked!
I've observed some at least some crossover with the @archontribe , just as volunteers have been bringing some vigor back to the Alive Tribe - @ecoinstant and his team of helpers have been working successfully to restore Archon.
@melinda010100 posted an update today in the Archon outpost site.

One of the reasons I wanted to post from the WeAreLiveand.social page was to use the promote feature! Which I will do immediately after hitting "POST"
'Communities' was a hive.blog invention and comes with a hive-xxxxxxx account number.
'Tribes' was what hive-engine called their front end clones.
Has anyone asked the question - which (if any) parts of these different "protocols" worked?
Yes, they did not, for the most part, work.
Some of them bought some friends, but even that has played out, afaik.
Retention seems like an ongoing challenge. HIVE is arguably for people who like to slow down a bit and read or write longer form content.
You can "doom scroll" Hive but it's not going to produce the same dopamine hit as legacy social media.

HIVE is a database, maybe you are talking about peakd?
Hive is an ecosystem, more users benefits us all.
You're correct my focus has been the social and content aspects, so I may have fallen into the bad habit of using HIVE synonymously with content stored in HIVE :)
Nothing moar users won't solve.
Moar is moar? I do like seeing the price of assists rise to incentivize development and maintenance of HIVE.
You are a treasure.
Thank you! I'm really fascinated by the social and community dynamics of HIVE.
I think in February I will try to systematize my explorations interactions, as I discover and observe new communities I want to maintain the bonds I've formed with people.
