RE: Ask Me Anything - Marky Edition - December 2021

With that said, for those general purpose tribes that you tagged in this AMA post, what is something you like about each one?

Not much to be honest, I just tag what's relevant. I like to reach as large of an audience as I can. I firmly believe a tribe/community for everyone is a tribe/community for no one.

While one general purpose tribe is fine, a bunch of them just makes no sense to me (just my opinion). It just ends up being about rewards.

I'd love to see thousands of niche communities thriving rather than a general purpose tribe taking people's attention away from actually building a community on specific topics.

Unfortunately, our user base isn't large enough to make this a reality (at least for now). If we had millions of users, I think the attractiveness of niche communities will be much higher.

That being said, if a general purpose community/tribe built a front end that offered an experience no one else offered, I'd be 100% behind that. Our biggest problem right now is onboarding, especially with tribes. I tell people all the time I think the #1 focus of tribes/communities should be onboarding.

I am not "against" general communities, I just feel it is counter productive to what we really want to accompolish.

I started STEMGeeks for the sole reason of increasing the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) content on Hive. It has worked to some degree, but I have found there just isn't enough people interested in this on Hive.

I do support any effort that gives people on Hive something to do, a reason to visit every day, and a place to call home. So while I'd rather see a community with thousands of users talking about singing songs in the shower, I'm all for any community focused projects that keeps people entertained, active, and interested.
