RE: Onboarding newcomers to Hive is like a fever dream

in GEMS3 years ago

As far as I'm aware the only place these are viewable is hive.wallet, but this isn't made obvious which is odd considering how important this step is.

Look on your profile in PeakD

Click Account Actions -> Keys and Permissions

But yes I wholeheartedly agree, the process of trying to get everything set up is not user friendly in the slightest. To all the 'devs' and experienced users, it all makes sense. to the new users, its a complete mess.

Out of all the people I know, I have only invited 3 people to join Hive (people who are looking for something new and actually have something to add to the community). One person (@dawnsart) joined, posted intermittently, and then stopped. The other two both looked at it at and couldn't work out what was going on.

Dawn only managed it as I was sat next to her while she went through the sign-up and explained everything the best I could.

I set up my profile pic via ecency, and my cover image via hive.blog and both things took so long to do that I've not been bothered to change either of them since

Knowing someone that posts amazing content on Hive but loses interest/motivation is so frustrating.

I'm going to go down a bit of a conspiracy rabbit hole here but I think that it has something to do with mainstream platforms researching so heavily in what causes that dopamine hit when people use it, that most people would chase that hit for a few hundred likes on Instagram rather than literal dollar value upvotes on Hive. I think it's a lot more complicated than ease of use, but it's the first step in being anywhere near competitive with the giants.
