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
The numbers are up and down in various regions, but the total is pretty much unchanged from last month despite me adding a few to the file. We did gain some minnows and dolphins.
We have seen a drop in active people over this year and the low price will still be a factor. We need to recruit friends and build local hubs of Hive activity. I can dream that we could have something like the group in Krakow. I think we have to aim for those already interested in cryptocurrency to start with. Hive is a natural place to discuss it.
These are some people who my script found, but I have not confirmed their location. I like to see some evidence that they are actually in the UK as some will put false information in their profile, but there is an element of trust and I am not out to judge anyone. It is interesting that the various Hive dapps are not consistent in how they store location, so some of these may be visible in Ecency, but not peakd. I am giving them a chance to say whether they should be on the list.

It's a shame the numbers of active accounts has dropped since 2022. I'm guessing the Hive price has something to do with that.
The graph showing the age of accounts, is that active only or all of them?
Ages are for active accounts.
So most of the active ones are over a year old. It would be interesting to see how they sit yearly going back from that point. I keep thinking we're only 4 years old, but that was just when Hive forked.
New user: @kyoba (The North)
Cheers. Always good to see new people.
Always great to see this :) it looks like I might be able to graduate from a Minnow to a Dolphin soon - that will be cool!
It is interesting how the numbers are dropping, but that is just UK, maybe Hive is growing elsewhere. I think the Vibes Web3 Music competitions has boosted the music entries, some weeks they had 400 entries I think.
I love it here, and will always be using Hive that is for sure. Seeing a small slump in Hive price was surprising but hey it is one of those things. Could be way up in the next 2-3 months! :)
I'd like to see others tracking other countries as I don't have time to do more. In some places it's all worth being active even when the price is low, but it shouldn't be just about the money.
Keep building your account.
Well Ive made my first post in a while. Always have alerts from your list when I log in.
It's always good when people come back. Hive is always evolving and I hope it's fun for you.

BEER.Hey @llag, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @steevc for you. Enjoy it!Did you know that <a href='https://dcity.io/cityyou can use BEER at dCity game to buy cards to rule the world.
Those accounts you identified, what a coincidence they're created around the same time, most don't post but do Leo Threads talking about crypto
I am dubious about some of them. Some just do one post/comment and then nothing. We need real people who will engage. I do think that some don't really get what Hive is.
To many fake accounts around
For sure, so we have to do some checking and deal with the fakes. You've helped me to spot some.
Hi @steeve! I would like to ask for your help.
I am interested in getting a list with users from Colombia and later, Venezuela. I don't know if you have any time available for it, but I remembered the great job you did with the Spanish list and I thought I should ask you. I really appreciate the effort you put in bringing this to the community.
One more thing, when you refer to this:
What kind of knowledge or development skills are needed to do this?
All it needs is for someone to make a list. I use a script to search profiles, but some need extra manual checks. Locals can do a better job of that as they will speak the language and know locations. I can help with formatting the list and run the post generation, if necessary. Venezuela could be a big job as it will be one of the biggest Hive countries.
Understood! maybe if I spread the word a little bit we could help with the manual part.
I would really appreciate it if you could run the post generation, maybe give Colombia a try and see how it goes?
You can see some example lists on Github. The format has lines like:
R, [region]
[username] ([location] @[other account])
Contact me on Discord (also steevc) and we can discuss.
Great! Thanks for sharing, I'll catch you up there!
Is commenting considered posting?
I see some accounts in that category who haven't posted in ages. 🤔
Yes, comments count. With the short form (Threads, Waves, Snaps) some people are mostly doing comments these days.
Always loved the uk alliance! @pennsif sure was a neat guy and it was a shame to not see him move his stake and effort over to this chain with the split.
I have a python guy and know of quite a few Canadians on chain. Maybe I should talk to him about doing one for hosers!
Awesome stuff Steve! Glad to see you are still rockin.
I think a few people took against pennsif for taking the other side in the fork drama. I met him once and he's a nice guy.
I've not done a list for Canada, but let me know if you need any help getting started.
@steevc, I paid out 3.930 HIVE and 0.000 HBD to reward 16 comments in this discussion thread.
Hi @steevc ! Many thanks for including me... I'm actually in Portugal now, rather than Italy 👋🙏🙌 and am not an expat. 😍💚🌳
My use of 'expat' is broad as it's anyone who was in the UK, but I let people choose how they are listed. Do you want to stay on the list?
I did a list for Portugal, but am not actively maintaining it.
Thanks for your response @steevc 🙏🌞 Much appreciated, and I'd love to meet other likeminded folks on Hive (in Portugal) - but aye; it's more likely to be on a Homesteading or OffGridding group - I get the expat generic term, at the same time, it references paperwork and that sort of thing, which is not my life path ⭐🤲🌟 I really appreciate how much work goes into creating a list like this: many best wishes with it!
Nice one Steve! Just enjoying a cup of tea whilst reading.
I can't be a real Brit as I don't drink tea :)
;)
Please no! That woman haunted my childhood.
mine too! lol
Excellent statistical data, with a lot of professionalism. From Venezuela, I wish you much success.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/omarrojas/re-leothreads-2wfyzsncn?referral=omarrojas
Cheers. I've done this for a while now. It would be great to see someone compile a list for Venezuela as I do not have time to do that. You can use my script to make a post like this.
Thanks, I will try, but not as well and exact as you do.
Maybe you can work together with others in the community. These things take time and effort.
Well, then I join and sum myself to the popular demand. :)
I actually would love to see Venezuela and the Venezuelans in Hive included in one of your laborious lists and very complete and remarkable reports. There is no rush @steevc. Just do it when you have some free time and the mood to do so.
I am leaving it to others to build that list. It needs the local knowledge that I do not have. I am sure you can find someone who can run my script. I know there are a lot of Hivers there.
Thank you, Steve, for the update; it's really appreciated.👍💗
