Ok, likes=upvotes!
But no, Hive is a decentralized network so no algorithms or time frames around here. The number of upvotes varies depending on the people and projects that vote for you, because there are "curation trails", it's a way to allow someone to vote for you in addition to manual curation, and if many people follow someone who votes for you, you can have many votes coming from that trail although that doesn't mean that those votes have much or little value.
So sometimes the number can be very significant, but sometimes it's just a number.
I would recommend you not to focus too much on that, but rather on creating quality, original and heartfelt content. Enjoy the experience and do it for you, more than for the rewards, they will come on their own if the content is real.

I agree, and this is what I try to do. I'm a journalist and a writer even outside of HIVE, so I would never publish anything if I was not convinced 😁 For example, these contents I'm talking about were also both included in the respective Daily Travel Digest.
I also want to specify that it wasn't simply about rewards, it was a bit strange just because in this last period I'm finally being more constant (after months of absence), publishing two articles a week, being present in the community and so on. So, I thought I maybe was doing something wrong, I wanted to reason in a correct way and fix the problem in the future posts.
Really thank you for your answer, Nina, I appreciate a lot. I will try to reason from a different perspective, see how it goes with the next articles and maybe do some experiments - like trying to post a bit earlier.
We will see 😊
Hi @alecaltab, here is Liz,
great that @ninaeatshere could help you with your question :) - As she said hive is decentralized so a variation of viewers happens all the time. Even my posts are different all the time. In my experience of course you can increase the visibility with the tags you are using, and the community that you are choosing,g and of course the quality of your content is important for the curation trails just as Nina said.
I did see the difference in the timing of the posting as well. In European times often it was best to post around 12-14:00.
But also not always. In the end, it is not all measurable but yeah, try it out and see what is best for you ☀️😎
In any case, we are already looking forward to reading more about your adventures soon! 👍🐝
Hey Liz,
thank you so much, you and @ninaeatshere have been really useful. I'm a self-taught Hiver, so sometimes I ask questions to someone who is more expert than me in order to improve my work. In this case, for example, I thought that maybe there was some problem in my post - for example I wrote "shit" and I thought later that this kind of words could be penalizing.
You gave me another interesting advice. I never tried to post around 12:00 or 14:00, in general I always did it around 21:00 or 22:00.
I will definitely follow your recommendation a couple of times, let see what the result will be.
Thank you so much once again, to both of you, for these new ideas and for your helpfulness.
See you soon ✌️🤠
