Do you promote Hive/Leo on other platforms? Do you have any luck getting people to join? We are failing at getting new recruits who stick around and need to improve.

the problem is the economy, people are looking for quick money and so they lose interest after one write.
It's isn't easy for them, I understand because I have been there.
Some people are. You have to decide what is worth your time. Hive can be fun in similar ways to other social media.
I got 2 referrals who signed up to inLeo. I promoted the hive on noisecash app. And some users like idksamad, jane and many others already joined. I think a lot of people didn't stick due to the way culture has on hive. Many leave..
Hive 'culture' is not one thing as the community is diverse. People need to find those they will engage with. We need to get them to stick around by making it fun. It should not just be about money.
If not for money why would anyone come here for? and stay for? what do we have here?
Why do people use FB, Twtr etc? Those don't pay them. We need good content to add value. The money makes it better, but if that was the only reason we would churn out shit posts for auto votes.
People use fb, twitter because celebrities are there, their family is there, their friends use it. How can you beat that? I understand good content. But people here are getting 10-40 USD for posting actifit status, so yes it's money.
We may struggle to get big celebrities, but smaller stars might like Hive. We have musicians, artists, writers and photographers here. We ought to consider if the rewards go to posts that add value.
There is one more concern here, if we invite celebs and top influencers, small fishes would feel left out of the rewards. because small fishes would earn more on twitter than on hive in comparison to influencers........ if web2 social media is harder to crack for them, hive becomes even more harder if same influencers come here. It's totally rigged and zero sum game for any creator to start from scratch if we compare to web2 social ... taskmaster is right, we have to base Hive on services, data, attention instead of numbers and adoption race...
I do but I do not think I have directly influenced anyone to join. Hive is not well known to others. They see it as a stale project with no innovation when I talked to few of them.
Well that's part of the problem. Hive still has a lot to offer and has plenty going on.
yeah, but others do not see it like that. The name itself is not well known and people think it as a blogging platform that is 6 years old. We need new, fancy front ends.
I disagree. Getting the name better known should be our aim along with the key features such as fast, free transactions. InLeo, Peakd and Ecency are reasonable front ends that are improving. I would not suggest hive.blog.
I meant to say that our FE should innovate to address the market and user demand. Inleo, Dbuzz and ecency may look good to new users but they will trip with peakd for sure. Peakd is an amazing FE but for existing Hive users.
Lots more people joined Mastodon when Twtr turned to shit and that is not fancy. It is the engagement and content that really matter. Once people grasp the concept of Keychain it's fairly simple. I have several friends who joined and coped without my help.
Number of users matter, yes. May be the fact that they did not market it as a blockchain helped a little.
indeed the new recruit counter helps, gives the name so we can hopefully reach out and support them early, invite to discord etc...
