That's really amazing, thank you so much ❤️
May I ask you a question?
I noticed that my last two posts didn't manage to reach a normal number of visualizations. They recovered a bit just after you included them in the Travel Digest. I would like to understand if it's a coincidence or there is something that I'm doing wrong - just a question to be able to solve the problem, in case you effectively have an answer for this.
In any case, thank you so much in advance! ✌️🤠
Hi @alecaltab! This is @ninaeatshere. It is well deserved! Keep up the good work! 😀
When you say “normal number of visualizations” what do you mean, upvotes? or specifically the views of your post?
It is quite difficult to establish as an objective criteria a “normal” amount within an ecosystem as dynamic as Hive. In any case, it is important to understand that there are many things to take into account in order to achieve visibility.
The easiest to check, if we are not breaking any communities' rules, is the interaction and engagement with the community. Consciously interacting with other users, supporting their posts with valuable comments is important, because of the retribution this can have, but it is something that is neither immediate nor anyone's obligation, it is a job that requires constancy and dedication for others to reciprocate.
Another important thing is the commitment we can have with Hive and this is seen in our HP. There are some projects that do not vote users with little amount of HP if they already have some time on the platform, everyone has the right to establish the way they want to support or not to support users. So it would be advisable to work on increasing that HP, through the rewards you get with your posts. But hey! this is just a suggestion.
Then there is the luck factor or coincidence as you say, our Block Chain is based on a technology that is not economically stable or perfect, as nothing in the world is, and this does not allow anyone to guarantee votes or profits. Maybe surfing different types of content can help.
I hope this can help you and if there is anything else we can assist you with, do not hesitate to contact our team, as you have done now or through Discord, where we are open to the queries of all travelers.
Cheers!
Hey @ninaeatshere! Thank you so much for your answer 😊
In my two previous posts, I just noticed a sudden decrease of upvotes, in a proportion that made me suppose that maybe I was breaking some rule without noticing and this was making the algorithm penalize my contents, making them less visible. This is what can generally happen in other platforms.
I was asking myself if this could happen even here.
Today I wrote another article and tried to post it a bit earlier, and it seems it is going quite normal, as it was in the past. So, maybe it was really a coincidence?
I tried to ask this question directly to you because I thought it was an interesting opportunity to learn something new or find confirmation, or food for thoughts even in case someone else has the same doubt I have.
I will post another article this week, we will see how it goes.
Thank you so much again for your dedication, your kindness and your time.
See you soon ✌️🤠
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 ✌️🤠
