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.

Commentary
As we start another year the $HIVE price is similar to a year ago and we have less active Brits, despite recruiting a few more. This month most areas are up a little and we gained a couple of dolphins. I keep finding accounts that have a UK location on their account, but I am not convinced that is where they really are. I need to see some evidence before adding them to the list.
I have seen some people come back after a while and others may be tempted. I know some are getting frustrated with other social media that may bombard you with unwanted content or have extremist political elements. The Hive platform is neutral in only showing you what you subscribe to. Some of the dapps are experimenting with ads, but these may be optional. They need some income to run their infrastructure and pay developers. If the price were to go much higher then they could be self-sustaining.
Do you have plans to bring people to Hive this year? I will do what I can in that area. With my stake I can create lots of accounts for free and so can help with that.
We need to keep existing people here and that can depend on the available content as well as the rewards. If you can make it fun for yourself then you are more likely to stick around. We now have several ways to do short posts if that is your preference.
I welcome ideas to get more people involved with Hive. Meetups can be one way. We do not want to come across as some sort of cult, but can sell it on the principles of freedom and ownership of data as well as the potential for rewards. We know that there are no guarantees for making much, but it is up to each user to promote themselves. They just tend to need help getting started.

Hey Steeve!
Happy New Year🎉 and thanks for the update.
I hope it's not as icy where you are, as it is in Staffordshire where I'm moored at the moment.
Jog safely!🤗
It was a bit icy this morning, but we may escape the snow. Hope it's not too cold on the boat.
Happy new year.
Thank you:)
I agree with you, Steve; it has to be fun, or any content creator can get disappointed with rewards and people's interest. It's best not to expect too much—just enjoy doing what you love and post it here, provided you have enough time, as creating content can also be time-consuming. I've been sharing mine on Reddit to get additional feedback and fun, which also helps bring visitors to the hive. I’ll continue sharing to help out. Thanks for your update!
hey bro can you not tag all our accounts I think I asked before, cheers!
Did you? The way my script work is that I put all the accounts in the file so that I know which I found, but I can set it to ignore them instead for next time.
I stuck all your accounts except for this one in the ignore file. I really want to count people rather than accounts anyway.
Cheers bro
That's pretty awesome work. Not many authors are concerned with keeping people from the same region together. Most are concentrating on communities (without physical borders).
!ALIVE
I think regional communities have value as people can actually meet up. This is not just about rewards. I would like to see people doing these lists for other countries.
Brilliant list @steevc - seems I need to be busy next weeks to chekc all your fellow countrymen/countrywomen out - thx for what you do here on the chain and especially how you do it.
This list does nothing about checking quality, but I hope it helps people to connect. I did one for Germany last year and I'm sure it could be expanded to include more people. I just don't have time to work on that, so I'm happy for others to do it. That's why I make the code and data available.
Give this Brit list I was searching again my favourite tunes and Faithless was one of my fav acts - just found out that Maxi Jazz died in 2022 - did not know, pretty sad - life is short (I recognize it with friends, who knows if i can even comment on any reply here)
Maxi Jazz to give more content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxi_Jazz - great guy!
Interesting on code - mqaybe someone is championing this for the German community - maybe skilled guys such as @louis88 :-)?
A guy in the Netherlands already used it and he added some improvements, but I've not seen him around lately. Collaboration makes the tools better.
Great work again love to see whats hapening
Great job @steevc that is a lot of accounts to track
Happy New Year

Well you can see the history of these posts and we have been losing active users. Hive is not growing like it needs to. There can be various reasons for this that people will disagree on.
It's a shame really
