I wonder how many active users /r/cryptocurrency has for comparison. I see they currently have 13,925 online out of 4 million+. Sure they have moons but it's just not nearly as robust a platform as Hive.

There could be some interesting data to look at from /r/cryptocurrency , how active are they? Is that a 'low' for them? What is there post-to-comments ratio? (Hive's is quite low), etc., that said Hive is much less niche, and covers a far broader content-spectrum. Anyway, thanks for the thought-provoking comment. 🙏
Good metrics for consideration. It seems /r/cc like much of Reddit has a much lower p2c ratio. Admittedly, I seem to get quite more engagement on Reddit as a whole but may be due to different demographics. We onboard more types of people, then we will likely see a difference, and Hive is precisely the platform for that as you noted the broader content spectrum.
I'm a crypto person interested in earning for contributions and curating but I don't want just focus on one topic like finance. Pretty sure most of us are the same way. This is why I am not a proponent of removing layer one author rewards as some have advocated. (Having a general purpose HIve author rewards pool allows much flexibility rather than myriad discombobulated communities with their own unique barriers to entry imo)
Anyways, I'll see if I can twist my scripting hat back and explore what of that data we can access via the Reddit API using Python. Will report back.
That may be so, I don't have solid data on those things, but can make educated guesses. Hive's good for a variety of content for now, but as more second layer communities popup it may, as you say, splinter into separate, barriered niches. I guess we'll see. Thanks! Looking forward to anything you happen to discover, wishing you a great weekend! 🙏
"discombobulated" lol :)) I'll add it to my must use list :D
Would make for an impressive Scrabble play. Lol
