Have you asked them what was challenging about Hive and their expectations towards it? Maybe that'll help narrow down their interest and you can pin point some solutions to them that works.
Who were your target audience in approaching hive?
Retention is a challenging part of this whole process. I've been working on @lovesniper along with the other team members but it's all mostly voluntary. I can't speak much with data because there's no fixed analysis on that which I honestly should because it's another step of all this. Just based on my experience, those who post consistently and engage typically thrive well in the community but it's also really coming down to their interest.
Another tricky part I've found is their expectations towards this place. Back in the day, I saw a lot of photographers from a certain country getting so highly rewarded then left 😂 this isn't something that I personally want and I am sure a lot of people here agreed as well.
I'd think partnership in your offer would work pre-events. Think about organizing more webinar on how to thrive on hive and such. Make it internationally (cross-experience) type of events. Invite people who has been here long enough and what makes them stick to this place.
Can you believe that my biggest complaint has always been writing the posts! The long ones in this case, that was the biggest complaint that it's a lot of work and little return, I never really thought that, I always ran after it, made some connections and so on I went and built my career.
But I confess that I never asked anything kkkk, I always taught everything and helped in everything I could, even so people don't adapt very well, unfortunately that's it. Retaining new users at Hive is complicated, so now the new members we get, I've been introducing snaps, threads or liketu, which help to keep the user with these quick actions that simulate web2 a lot!
It'll help if you also ask them what they likes. You never know some of them might like long form content others short from content. Try to be in their position and find out their interest, maybe that'll help them coming back to hive and see this place as something new 😊
I see, I hadn't looked at it that way, I really missed asking what they preferred, this or that. It's great to exchange ideas about onboarding, it makes total sense to me. A different view from what I'm used to kkkk 😄
