Introduction
I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something @pennsif used to do as I think it helps bring the community together. Since then I have found lots more people to include. @HiveSQL has been really useful for this. I was using beem to generate this post, but that is not in active development and I found HiveSQL could do it much quicker. I use Python for most things. Some of the post is manual as I like to include some commentary and I will keep tweaking it. I am open to suggestions for improvements. I aim to do a fresh list on the first Saturday of each month.
I also rely on the community to let me know of more people to include who may not have obvious account metadata. You can find me in the @teamuksupport Discord to discuss it or drop me a comment.
The #teamuk tag has been used to show you are in the UK and was earning extra votes from a bot, but that has not been active lately. Using the tag may still help me to find you, but please contact me if you think you should be on the list.
The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad. Inclusion on this list does not mean I recommend people, but I will remove accounts if they are known to be abusing Hive or are falsely reporting their location. I can also remove anyone who asks me to. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry. There is the option to be counted without being tagged on these posts if you want that.
The code to produce this post is on Github. People are welcome to use it for their own regional version. I can help you with that if necessary.

What it means
The numbers above are for those who had posted or commented in the previous month. In the lists below I break each region into three lists:
- Active as above.
- Just voting. I will guess that a lot of these use automatic votes, e.g. HiveVote. Previously there were some that appear to have been compromised as they vote for known abusers. Those are now excluded until I hear that they have recovered control.
- Inactive in the last month, but most have done something since Hive started. We can hope to bring them back.
I want to count people rather than accounts as some have several. I can include those in brackets if you want. Let me know if you want me to update your listing. You can be as specific as you like about your location. Otherwise I will use what is on your profile or what I am told or can deduce from your posts.
Other Countries
I have produced similar lists for the following countries. Active numbers are from the last time I ran them. These have used simpler queries than what I use for the UK, so they are likely to miss people. What it needs is for local communities to take up this work. The data and scripts are all on my Github for anyone to make use of. I can do other lists on demand.
- Australia
- Ghana
- Germany
- India
- Indonesia
- Ireland (2022)
- Italy. @bencwarmer has done a more comprehensive list.
- Japan
- Netherlands by @michelmake
- Nigeria
- Poland
- Portugal
- Romania
- Scandinavia
- South Africa
- Spain
- Turkey
- Ukraine (2022)
- UK latest on #BritList
Commentary
We are coming to the end of another year and it is another where we have not made progress on growing the active UK Hivers. Actually this month we had more people just voting than last month, so that is encouraging. I have done this list for four years now. I am just not finding many new accounts recently. I find some marked UK or London, but I do not always believe the location. It is best to be honest about that.
The rising $HIVE price ought to encourage more activity, but I always say that you can earn all the time and benefit from times like this. You can at least set up auto votes on some trail. I try to support good content, so you could follow mine.
We have three more Dolphins this month, so some people are building their stake. I plan to do that too, at least until the price improves a lot more and then I will think about what it can buy me.
We definitely need some more meetups next year to get people together and perhaps recruit some more. You could talk to some family about Hive over Christmas. You could even create them an account as a gift with some HP to start them off. I set my kids up with delegations so they have been earning from curation and can use those funds as they like.
There are plenty of exciting things happening with Hive, so I hope that 2025 will be good for all of us.
Merry Christmas!

Good to see the UK has a strong presence here.
We have some good people. When they connect then interesting things happen.
I admire you for encouraging people to join or get others on board, however, it seems most people stay within their circles here, or don't find some content worthy enough, so many users will lose interest and not stay put, I'm afraid.
I think, all this talk about quality content is nonsense, after all we're all here to increase value, and as long as somebody isn't abusing the system, things shouldn't be quite so stringent.
Sorry, just my humble opinion. 😉😄
I'll never say it's perfect, but it offers opportunities. People need to be given a chance. You either find your crowd or bring it with you.
Yes, I guess, that's very true 😄
We do need more Brits. If we could get a real music scene going it could be great. I'm fed up with Facebook and would rather do public stuff here.
Well, if you want gigs then you need to post on Facebook and YouTube. People are not really that interested here even if something is entertaining, but I suppose it's OK for some things.
I see a lot of low value posts though.
There's not enough people here yet for that to work. It's the old problem of having enough people and content to attract more, so it needs more pioneers.
We have musicians here, but they may not have brought in their fans yet. If that starts happening then we may see changes. It's a matter of scale. We have thousands of users rather than millions.
Thanks Steve, you could put Fife as my location for my little troop of names. We got our first Hive recruit today on @mmonline so am feeling like things could be on the up again.
I'll do an update for next month. Cheers.
Thank you
meet ups would be good, I always seem to be out of the country when they have happened in the past, then perhaps I might learn something about the financial side of the hive!!!
Happy Saturnalia
Well you could always propose one whenever is convenient for you. Just need a place and a time. I will spread the word.
We've been thinking this now we have an acre and a half to host, post coming soon :) it's great you'll be able to put the word out and hopefully attend.
Hmm! I guess wrexham is probably to far for most people
Part of the idea of these posts is to see who is nearby. Even if just a couple turn up it can be fun.
Maybe one day lol
Not for us :) a couple of hours 100 ish mile
But we have the Rob and Ryan Holywood revolution going on LOL, tbh I wouldn't travel half that distance to visit wrexham.
I was like who??? if you'd had said good old DeadPool i'd have got it :) likelihood of bumping into - you clocked them yet, are they what you'd call prominent Wrexemers? (giddy as a kipper :))
Glad someone is giddy, I can see through the smoke and mirrors of their vanity project. they visit quite often. I have no interest in them.
My student grand daughter works part time in the Vines Restaurant at Carden Park where they stay when here. She has "gawped" close up at mc'Illeney whom she adores.
DUH!
Thank you, Steve. It seems that not many people are joining. I have been sharing links on Reddit to hopefully help out.

We seem to be hanging in there. I’ve lost interest of late to a certain degree but my disillusionment isn’t with Hive but the online scene as a whole. With all that did I still enjoy the process of curating and sharing stuff, so will see how I can increase my output here again in the new year.
Meet-ups - always up for those. It’s true that they encourage us to feel excited about the platform and what it offers.
@anna-newkey has a point in that music tends to do better on YouTube which is why it’s probably worth publishing there and sharing the videos here with a write up around them. Then share the link to the Hive post in the YouTube video description etc.
Then crypto gets bad press all of the time, so we have that tide to fight against all of the time.
Great idea about cross sharing! 👍
I definitely think we can promote Hive on other platforms as a place with more freedom, that doesn't manipulate you with algorithms and happens to have rewards too. We should build on the musicians who are already here by showing them support. The word will spread. This is a niche I have tried to support.
Great job @steevc
Have the best day stay safe and well
