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
I have to report that numbers are down again this month. I wonder if that is to do with how the $HIVE price has been doing. We did gain some minnows, so perhaps some people took advantage of that. It has gone up a bit now, so we need to encourage people to return. I know some are giving up on the corporate platforms and Hive offers an alternative.
I found a few more people to add to my file that has over 800 in it. There are a few others that I am not sure about as I do some checking to be sure they really are where they say. I may do some analysis of how much the inactive accounts hold. They could at least be getting some passive income from automated voting or delegation. $HIVE is something you can earn in all sorts of ways and if the value increases then you can benefit.
We could do with some meetups. If someone wants to nominate a time and place then I will try to get to it. I can easily get into London on a weekend. I will publicise any events I hear about. Previously some of us have met up at crypto and other conferences where we could get in for free. Showing up with Hive shirts gets us some publicity. I have a few shirts and other merch I can bring along.
I will keep doing lists for other countries to try to help those communities.

Cool! Always great to see these updates. I am the only expat in NZ still at this stage. I still wonder why this platform is small in terms of users. Especially for musicians who post frequently on other platforms. I went on a recruitment run a month back and had 7 people almost sign up but they found it too complex and just couldn't figure out the wallet and posting and earning etc, and gave up (that was the final 2 people, so a small pool, yes)
I want to see more musicians here. Hive is more complex, so people need a bit of help at the start. I'm glad some have stuck around and I'll keep supporting them.
Love these lists! 🤗
I'm not sure if it's all about the price.
I read a lot about getting new people on board by people who have been here for a long time, reminds me a bit of the pyramid game 😄, but I see some friends not having posted in a while. I think people are feeling ignored even if they're doing all the right things in engaging, long nice looking posts etc.
This thing about "high quality" is the problem in my opinion.
What is that anyhow? After all we're all here to increase value for all and oneself.
I auto-vote to spread the love via the fanbase but most don't return the favour, so I'll review my list soon.
Hive is imperfect and pretty small. You still have to work to get noticed and build your community. I would hope you got some benefit from going to the Hamburg event.
The 'quality' thing can be over-egged. I think if your content is original and people genuinely like it then that's enough. There will be some who churn out junk posts, but will work with others to get some votes regardless. Hive needs to get big enough so that the opinions of the community are enough to make the good stuff get good rewards.
Others say that ease of use is an issue, but it has improved. People need some guidance at the start.
I'm glad you've stuck with it and I hope you get some value. It's not just about money.
!LUV
@anna-newkey, @steevc(1/3) sent you LUV. | tools | discord | community | HiveWiki | <>< daily
Should we expect an end-of-year meetup? @steevc
I was thinking of doing one, but need to sort out a date.
Please update us when all is set.
This is awesome. When I go to uk it's so bloody hard to catch up with people as I can't drive. I was gutted not to catch @livinginuktaiwan and she was not so far away from my mother in law as in Somerset. I love how that's enough to get me to make the list. . Token Brit by marriage and perhaps that I can date fam to 1600 and something Somerset... And my granddad born near Bath and Mum in Hull so I reckon I make the cut.
Good effort Steve, It's nice to see this list keep growing
Any new ones...?, I can add them to the voting BOT.
I think I sent you the new ones recently.
In that case, I am current.
Thanks Steve, let's see if we get an Uptober and that can entice some people back.
This reminds me of the Ghanaian list and I think I just realized how long it must have taken you to do this. That’s a lot of efforts in there. Great job!
Yeah, I also believe numbers going down was because of $Hive but I’m glad that some of took advantage as you said.
Cheers Steve!
Thought I saw you in Palmanova last week :D
You are doing a good job by compiling these useful lists, thanks for the effort. Kudos to all active hive users from the UK and other countries who are helping to make the platform grow. Have a great day.
lol I am not sure about the mass tagging but hey!
Congratulations @steevc! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)
Your next target is to reach 185000 upvotes.
