I am happy to be here again this day. It is always encouraging to engage here and happy new month to everyone. I will try not to make this too long.
What are your past or current Hive struggles?
The past and current struggles remain the same; most people don't really read and commenting has been an issue. I don't get as much engagement on my posts in terms of commenting as I would have liked but I know that would change when my HP increases more and I am giving sizeable upvotes to my commenters. I noticed every community stresses the importance of commenting but only a few comments. I got discouraged at some point too that I reduced my comments because those I commented on their post didn't even reply. It's that bad... I don't know how people leave comments on their posts hanging. I've never left a comment hanging...not even one.
How were you able to find your way on Hive?
It was a lot of hard work and consistently dishing out good contents. I make sure I post daily and I don't think for all the time I've been on Hive, I have never missed a day of not posting. It takes consistency... Overtime the visibility would come...I am still pressing towards the mark. Through commenting and posting quality content with consistency, I met amazing people. I have the honour of meeting sir @ericvancewalton and so many I can't even start listing here. They eased me into my journey and I learn a great deal from them. I love taking instructions from sir @galenkp. I love how he bare his mind and I've never for once seen his advice as being too much. When we are open to learning, it becomes easier to thrive on Hive.
What community or person helped you during your low times here?
Those two amazing people I mentioned above with a lot of people I can't even mention helped me a great deal. The Tangerine Travels helped me a lot too but they are no longer active on Hive. The Weekend Experiences helped a great deal, OCD community, Dreemers, BD Community, India United Community, Proof of Brain, Thoughtful Daily Post Community, Neoxian City and so many... I've lost count. They came through for me and I will always be grateful.
Do you struggle with something currently and need help? What are they?
More visibility...but that can be fixed on my part if I engage more. More upvotes too...which can also be fixed with more engagements... I feel with more HP, I can pull a lot more...to help others... I would be hoping on a massive delegation and I would mean a lot to me.
I haven't read your comment yet, but I was almost tagging you. You haven't submitted any post for curation in all your winning weeks, may I ask why?
Ah. Submit? I didn't know I have to drop it in the comment section 😭😭😭 I am so sorry. Can I still drop it and where please?
It has expired however, I would curate one during the week. I would look out for a good post during the week. Thanks for being active here. It means alot to me.
Thank you so much for your kindness. I deeply appreciate this and I won't stop engaging. What you are doing here is remarkable and God bless you more for this. Thank you so much.

We need to be using cane in this engagement because of people like you hehehe 🤣🤣🤣, please don't forget next time or I come for you in your dreams 🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌🙌
It seems this comment issue is everyone's issue, lol... Engagements aren't easy but it's on our part to make it work.
Omo, I find it surprising too.
Surprising and annoying at the same time. I don't like leaving any comment unattended to, even Hive Buzz comments. I always tell those I onboard too.
Swears, me too!
🤣🤣😂

Hahahaha even with short poems they still give off point comments 🤣🤣😂
Azin. No matter how busy i am, I always reply. Even if it's one day late. Unless it's a Nice post comment I'll reply. Even that nice post comment I still feel guilty about it and still reply once in a while.
Sha maybe I've not had too many pings before. Oh well
Also I like your willingness to grow. How you keep talking about growing your hp and dropping bigger upvotes. I also share this dream. I hope we achieve this
Absolutely, brother. I'm glad you feel the same way too. It's always important to reply every comment...
I believe we can achieve it too. Let's keep going. Thank you, brother.
Everyone always talks about engaging and the importance of it but it's not always easy. Most of us are in multiple communities so it can be difficult to keep up with all of them at the same time. Making an engagement schedule may help but for me doing that will just make it feel like a chore, I'd rather just go wherever the wind of hive blows me whenever. This makes it a lot easier but it may not be enough.
I think I'll just keep doing that because i'd rather engage meaningfully and genuinely than do without sincerity just because "I have to do it".
There are some communities that won't even upvote you until your engagement reaches a certain count. Engagement takes a lot. Yes, engagement isn't just in a particular post...as long as you are engaging in other community, that's fine... It's about keeping the Hive ecosystem going not just making up the numbers.
I totally agree. The movies and tv shows community, I've noticed, values meaningful engagement and it's usually a criterion for getting upvoted. It may be a strict measure but unfortunately, people may not engage without it.
Have a great Sunday @olawalium ❤️
Happy new week, my dear. Cheers to a great week ahead.
