The South Africa List: June 2024

in Hive Statistics6 months ago

Introduction

I have been compiling lists of Hivers in various countries using @hivesql. The profile location data is not very consistent, but I try to group people by area when there are a few. There may be some mistakes due to my lack of local knowledge.

South African flag from Wikipedia

Other Countries

Currently there are lists like this for:

Commentary

As with other countries I have tried to break the list down by places that are given in Hive profiles. I started with a list of major cities from Wikipedia, but many of those gave no results. I would like the local community to take over this list as they will know better how to split it up. They will also know of people I did not find in my queries.

South Africa has one Orca and a few Dolphins. It has a similar population to the UK and so there is lots of potential for growth. I do not know how well known Hive is there. Not many have joined in the last year. It would not surprise me if we had more active in the past as that is a common trend. We need to bring people back.

I did not find any witnesses.

Awesome @steevc, I must have been floating somewhere out at sea off the East Coast of SA, but I see @zakludick spotted me missing in action ;)

I didn't cover all the possible search terms, but you will be on the next edition.

No problem, really's not an issue, but thank you @steevc, I love stats.
At least I landed in the 'Lost & Found section😉

It needs that local knowledge to build these lists. I've been adding to the Brit one for years and only found some people from tip-offs. They can put what they like in the profile location.

Yes many Hivers don't disclose where they're from in their profile.
It's a great way to 'meet' fellow countrymen, appreciated.

Ahhh, this is great. @lizelle, not too sure if she's on here. I don't see her but might have missed it

I must be floating somewhere along the East Coast of SA @therneau, thank you for sending out the search party, I see @zakludick spotted me ;)

Hehehe, yeah I went through MY list and searched it through @steevc's list.

Though I have added names for his list, his list actually shows me way more I did not know about. Super useful.

All the active blogging types I will try invite to the Busy Bees.

The Busy Bees started out as a South African group and then became an Activity group for all sorts of people.

Great work from you Zac, it's been an eye-opener the names of Hivers I didn't know were from SA. Someone I have not seen in ages for years is @simplylizelle and her hubby @moderndragon, what happened to them I wonder?
I agree, it's awesome that @steevc has included SA in his stats.
Enjoy the 'free' Monday!

😁😁😁 I shall try contact some of the active ones!

Hey there bud, @curacer is my account. You can add @technicalside to the bloemfontein group. Along with @misshugo

Cool. I'll update it for the next run. This is just an initial list to kick things off and I expected there to be more that I did not find.

Nah all good, there is also an account @riki1 that is also from Bloemfontein.

I'll send some names as I discover!

The list is online and I will refresh that when I can. I don't tend to edit the posts once they are up as it generates extra notifications. I do the #BritList monthly, but it doesn't change that much. If someone wants to take over this one then I will help them get started.

Great list, many SAffers have come and gone, many still here with new arrivals. Team South Africa started with a great listing on the other platform.

Regional posting has not pulled through too well eg. Jacoalberts, Lizelle, Artywink and myself are all Greater Durban. Papilloncharity, urban-scout with many others are in the Cape Province.

!BEER

Awesome! Thanks for the mention! It's great to see our community growing.

A Brit charting Africa? Wait a moment!

(Okey, this is kinda innapropriate, but I couldn't help myself 😉)

Now now! I'm just doing this as nobody else was and they can own it. I have no desire for an empire.

I was just kidding :))

I know :)
