Trybe had a huge burst of hype several months ago with people claiming it will replace Steem and will be the main social platform for EOS. I am here to share that, unfortunately, today this is far from the reality and the platform is doing very poorly.
Trybe is lacking community given the last article posted was older than a week, they don’t have many basics in place like cover images etc. People don’t interact with much and only really on blogs. It’s also pretty slow and clunky. Although it’s improved, it was insanely challenging to setup with Trybe. I spent so long trying to get Scatter working so I could use my Trybe and stake it – After more than a week and talking with 4 different support staff at Trybe and EOS, it finally worked. You may have a ridiculous amount of trouble getting started, but after that, it’s smooth sailing. Runs on Wordpress, but hopefully, they don’t rely on Wordpress. They do have moderators that approve your posts at the moment, but the staff says they will only do this during its early stages and eventually decentralize more. I appreciate wall posts and allowing you to use slideshows etc. as you would find on Linkedin. There can be something to find after overcoming the initial challenge and or you don’t care about earning Trybe and just want to use this as a social platform. However, the many issues still remain and haven’t changed for months I cannot recommend it - https://trybe.one

Maybe, but it hasn't changed in 5 months
If it doesn’t have a true community of users, it is doomed.
A real community is composed different strata of people.
These people should be interacting freely within the blockchain, and the platform itself is easy to use and easy to on onboard new users.
That is the path of steem.
EOS tries to be different, and they are not making good progress in the community level, grassroots.
Steem has the edge in this aspect.

Yeah by far, it has the foundation and everything is solid.
I think you should check https://eos.discussions.app :-)
I tried it before and wasn't a fan. I'll check it again
Well, it is being constantly improved and decent posts get tipped sometimes although there is no guarantee as the platform token is not inflationary so rewards are not generated out of thin air ;-) Basically somebody has to really read and like your post and decide that it is worth tipping. But you can easily re-post steem content and this is totally ok for our users.
Oh okay awesome. I'll let you know my thoughts
i use to love trybe and thought it would have a bright future but that is changing lately. i agree with everything you said. its still slow, still have an ugly non user friendly layout, still in the new section the top 5 post are old, i cant get the wallet to work. Token has no use case other then staking for more tokens but the thing that really annoys me it that they keep adding news things like jobs board etc yet havent fixed the main issues.
i really hope they can address some of the main issues asap and get a mobile app since most people use phones now.
Yeah really eh. Glad it's not just me who has these frustrations with Trybe
