HIVE is too small; if there were many more bloggers and eg.. Urbex had 20-30 consistent writers then you would find the communities more vibrant. I do comment on the Urbex content, most of the time.
As it stands, its too general, and some of the stuff I vote is because I know these people, and have met them in some cases. It's not ideal but that's the way it is.
I try and get people from the FB Urbex scene but even dangling the carrot is not working. They still love their work to have no rewards, and the big audience is more important.
Do you have discord? I have some ideas I'd like to share with you and can help grow this community if you're interested.
