I think that's probably a part of the problem, overall: folk who are doing things that aren't crypto, might not be on the computer as much as folk who are, so just, not able to get around to cultivating a community here with the same attention that the crypto communities can.
At least, that's my experience. Personally, I was living off-grid, in a tent, without electric or Internet, for the past year, doing regenerative agroforestry on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the most economically desolate place in the United States. Even checking my email was a big hassle; taking the time to bring my perspectives to someplace like Hive just wasn't possible.
Now, through the winter, I'm someplace with electric and Internet, so looking at what the possibilities are, but am concerned that without the support of the wider Hive community, any attempts to form an ecologically focused community will stagnate, or remain on the margins, like other special interest groups (except crypto) on Hive seem to be.
I'm planning to try it anyway, because I think there's something real and important to synthesize between the decentralized technologies of blockchain and Indigenous-informed land stewardship, but, I expect it to be a learning experience more than anything useful.
I think you are 100% right
My community will probably be a ghost town also but I'll give it a go
