I would like to share my experience with Hive so you can benefit from it. I joined Hive (steem) in 2017. I did not make anything from my account on Steem. I left the account dormant for more than 2 years. I began to be active in 2020.
Hive hardfork made me confused about what I should focus on. At the early stages of Hive development, I was still active in both Steem and Hive. It was a dilema when my earnings in steem were bigger than Hive. However, I saw the potential development in Hive. I focused on blogging on Hive.
Later, more tribes migrated to Hive. I started to be active in the engagement in Leo. I also joined a blogging-challenge community. The community helped me write better content with some decided topics.
When the price of SBD jumped to 10 USD, I was attracted to writing some posts on Steem. In fact, the culture of Steem was truly different from that of Hive. There are too many voting bots on Steem. A picture with two or three lines of sentences can make tens of dollars. It is something that does not make sense to me based on my logic.
I am not interested anymore in Steem. Another bad culture in Steem was the voting circle of friends. I found some communities that always give good upvotes to their circle of curators. New members will not be encouraged to get upvoted by Steem whales because they are not in the list of friends.
When more accounts in Steem earn high votes from bots, they try to practice their blogging style in Hive. Hive respects originality and value. Engagement becomes the key to the growth of accounts and communities. So, never bring Steem culture to Hive.
What Should and What Shouldn't in Hive blogging?
I hope there are more Indonesian Hive users reading this post because I contacted some users that got downvoted and muted in Hive and its communities.
| SHOULD | SHOULDN'T |
|---|---|
| Post original content | Post copy-pasted or spined articles |
| Use your own images or images with a link to the source | Violate image copy rights |
| Spam posting | |
| Suggested in a post 3 images 300 words | 1 image below 300 words |
| Leave valuable comments: not like " good post" "interesting" and other short words | Not active in engagement or comment with short words |
| Bring steem culture in posts or Post the same article as in Steem | |
| Be polite in comments and posts | Attack other Hive users |
| Mention the account name without having close relationship | |
| Learn how to write better | |
| Learn the rules in using hashtags | |
| Use proper English grammar | |
| Better to post in English | |
| Join communities and respect the rules | |
| Asking for upvotes |
Those are some unwritten rules that you should pay attention to. Besides that, Hive is a social platform. You should get social. You post regularly while you never read other posts. It is not getting social. You also need other posts. You will learn a lot of things from other daily activities.
I do not want to teach you, but I would be happy if you could be successful in blogging in Hive. Learning, reading, and being active in engagement is the key.
Thanks for reading my post. I hope we, who are from +62, can grow together on this amazing platform.
These some tribe hashtags that you can use
| Tribe Hashtags | Topics |
|---|---|
| leofinance | Cryptocurrency, Economy, Finance and Business |
| proofofbrain | General topics |
| cent | General topics |
| sportstalksocial | Sports |
| hustler | General topics |
| neoxian | General topics |
There are more tribes in Hive. You need to do some research about the tribes. When you use those hashtags, your posts are syndicated in their front ends. You will also earn rewards in their native tokens.
True, steem attracts people before because of its value-form of money. Unlike in hive, the value of every human being makes the platform amazing.
In hive, you can grow because not like them, hive encourages people to write quality posts to earn. No matter how quality your posts in steem if you're not in the circle of friends you can't earn.
Good explanation.
As you can see , there are more steem users migrate to Hive because they do not earn good income anymore because their votes based on bots. They have to pay to get upvoted. Yet, bringing steem culture is not accepted in Hive.
This is all good advice, and perhaps something many new Indonesians, especially those from Aceh should read. I have unfortunately muted many Hivers from Aceh who in the worst cases, sometimes had been posting every day for two years without typing one comment.
If I could point to a rolemodel in the ASEAN Hive Community for Indonesians to follow, I think you would certainly be the man. I had quite a rough start on Hive, couldn't figure out what to write about, etc., but it has slowly become a space where I am more and more comfortable.
I'm gonna pin this in the community for several days so it can get more eyes.
Thanks Justin, I wrote this post because I talked to some new users that get downvoted. They wanted to make successful blogging in Hive but they have little knowledge about the culture and unwritten rules in this platform. I would not say that I am a successful Hive blogger but I would say that I do better blogging than a year ago. I learned a lot and did a lot of comments. I hope more new users from my country will read this post and learn from it.
Thank you so much for your post. that was very informative
This could be an encouragement to anyone especially newbies.
Thanks for stopping, many newbies from my country get blacklisted and downvoted. I feel sorry for them. This post I hope can guide them to better blog in the future. If not newbies not only from my country can take benefit from it either.
This could be helpful for other Hivers, not only in Asia. This is a great and very informative post! Thank you!
Thanks for visiting, That is good If this helpful to all hive in general
Just got here in Hive, I am actually active on Steem because most of my blogs are posted there before here. I understand fully that Hive and Steem are different so cross posting is a no,no.
Welcome back to Hive. That is true, cross posting from steem post to Hive is not accepted by most whales and communities. We are different and we are advancing in the numbers of users and the development.
Permission to reblog sir ☺️. Yes you're right. I've seen cross posting from Steem to Hive, even till today. Hive ecosystem and culture is different from Steem and they shouldn't use it here on Hive. And I wanted to say thank you to those doing their job for keeping us safe to blog here in Hive. Thank you so much for keeping Hive safe and sound ❤️
That what we see today but I hope those who crosspost will realize that they in different zones and rules.
Yeah, if not the Hive ecosystem would completely change and will end up like Steem again which is something I don't hope to see

Great advise from our brother @lebah. I myself was attracted to steem for its rewards value. But the engagement in steem are not mutual. Now I focus most of my time in HIVE.
The engagement in HIVE are more authentic and sincere 😁
