Oh, sorry, I forgot. But maybe my idea could make the Hive community and Saturday Savers Club even more exciting: The Buddy System. Here’s how I envision it:
Structured Pairing
Experienced members can become mentors for newcomers. For example, pairing could be based on interests or time zones to ensure better compatibility. Personally, I’ve often followed @dewabrata’s progress and how he’s improved his HP, and it’s been super motivating. Having a mentor like him would be awesome.Guidelines for Mentors
Mentors don’t need to know everything—just the basics. But having a simple guide for mentors, like how to welcome newcomers or initiate discussions in the Saturday Savers Club, would make this system more effective. Mentors could also help explain how Hive works in a way that doesn’t overwhelm newbies.Recognition for Mentors
To keep mentors motivated, let’s reward them! This could be through cool badges, a small delegation of Hive Power, or, if possible, special upvotes for the newbies they’re mentoring. If manual upvoting seems tedious, why not create a bot that mentors can use to upvote their mentees? It’s simple and rewarding at the same time.
With just 2–3 months of close mentoring, I believe newcomers would feel super comfortable in the Hive community. After that, they’d be independent and might even become mentors for future newcomers. This system wouldn’t just make the community warmer but would also expand the network of members helping one another. Hive would feel even more alive, right? 😊
Lots of cool ideas, thank you.
