I have shifted this to the first weekend of the month. That is partly due to being excited by all the extra people I found to include. I produce this list using a Python script, but that requires a text file of user names. Using @hivesql I queried for accounts that had UK, Britain, England, Wales, Scotland and other terms in their location metadata. That uncovered lots I did not previously know about who are active. Some are only voting, but many are posting. I have not worked out what regions some of them fall into, but if they want to let me know I will update for next month.

I keep an eye out for any new people or when others return to Hive. The @teamuksupport Discord can be useful for that, but I also get tipoffs from others. Please let me know if you notice anyone is missing, even if they are not currently active. If you know any of the inactive people then maybe talk to them about automating their votes with Hive Vote.
I can include additional accounts for people if requested, but I want to count people rather than just accounts.
Previous editions:
- February 2021 - 96 active.
- January 2021 - 90 active.
- December 2020 - 80 active.
As you can see we have takens a fairly big jump up to 121 active in the UK. That gives me a boost in confidence that Hive is doing okay. We still only have one in Northern Ireland though.

Let’s make 10X uk active accounts in 2021.
What I realise was that hive price and active accounts have strong correlation
We need to recruit, retain and return people to Hive. There are still challenges around usability and culture that need to be addressed. Still, getting the number up by 50% in such a short time is encouraging. I expect there are still a few out there to be found.
Happy to be included here, @steevc , thank you ♥️
@steevc let you know i'm up North East England Near Newcastle Upon Tyne but not exact in Newcastle
just let you know since category me as (Somewhere in the UK...)
i had it Set United Kingdom on my profile before coz i didn't want show where newest North East because some people try track my exact location. so i set it
Newcastle Upon Tyne, North East, United Kingdom
I let people specify where they want to be listed. I'll put you in the North section for next month. I know some don't want to be specific about where they are. The list may be useful as and when people want to do meet-ups.
ah ok, well mostly im only round North East area, i cant go anywhere far north , south and stuff. since my traveling issues since i dont own car and my bus pass only valid round North East zones. so even i do meet ups for me needs be zones that my bus pass can go.
I hope in time there will be enough people for lots of local meet-ups. I'm up around Newbiggin sometimes. I've been to various events in London as I can get there easily on the train.
hey, never knew this list existed - you're right, I am from the north, Newcastle to be exact. Would be great if one day this list separated north east and north west!
I am trying to keep things simple for me. Regions may matter if there are meetups again, but it ought to be possible to travel an hour or so to those.

tokens.must admit that I don't use Hive nearly as much as I would like to. Much better than Steem but still clunky. Love your initiative and brah you got either really good ears or a really good algorithm to figure out I'm in the south west...then again...maybe my last post gave it away lol
Do you have suggestions for me to better integrate myself with hive? example I find publish0x much easier to get info and torum much easier to socialise on.
I think it's about finding the right people, e.g. those who share your interests. It's still a pretty small community, so there can be a chance to stand out if you resonate with them. My following may be helped by me being so active in commenting and that I have been to lots of events. We need some meetups when it's possible again and I hope this list will help people find out who is in their area.
I don't really have anything to sell, so I just put out posts on what I am into. People are nice enough to automatically give me votes, but quite a few do read them. I am realistic about only a small fraction of my followers being active.
I'm not sure how I picked up where you are. There was an old list by @pennsif, so it may have been from that. We certainly have lots of potential for growth.
That's a good leap forward Steve, hopefully you can find over 100 active users next month.
It's a shame we can't have meetups for a while yet as they can be good for introducing people to the platform. When we can then I hope lots more will attend. Need a Hivefest UK some time.
Wow good detective work Steve, almost double the number of people that you found last month.
"Ahh hails from Elgol, Isle o' Skye, Scotland mucker!" 😉 -Keptin Joshua Slane
Hope it's nice up there. I wonder who is the most northerly Hiver.
"Hmmm, Ahh must be close! Haw! Haw!" -Keptin
That's a big jump since last month, going in the right direction, hopefully some of the inactive ones become active again!
I am trying to nudge some that I know. There are about 260 in total on the list for now.
That's a good start point, about half are active so not too bad at the moment!
Hiya Steve, I'm in Essex
You highlight the fact we need and Import/Export facility for Followers/Following then there's "Lists" should users lists be accessible publically? Personally, I'd say yes, unless the user made them private, especially if you maintained lists based on counties that could be scraped.
I think a lot of that is possible via the API. I'm not sure if lists are also on the blockchain.

Hello @steevc
Thanks for the update!
We'll be leaving Philippines and relocating back to the UK very soon:)
Cool. Should I update it for next month?
Yeah, why not! We're leaving next week Saturday :)
We'll give you the exact location...well, kind of! You'll know :)
I'm not in the UK
Ah, fixed that for next time :)
Lovely job again!
Thanks for continuing to make Hive awesome.
@amy-explores is 'The North'!
Updated for next time. I don't like to make assumptions.
Birmingham, now Poland.
Cool. Updated for next time.
:-) Only been back a couple of weeks but enjoying being here I must admit.
