Did you see the CoinTelegraph article about LBRY?
It lists LBRY as having 11 million unique monthly users, and second was Steemit with 3 million. Hive was way down on the list with just under 100k unique monthly users.
I need to do more research, but wanted you to know.
One important detail I saw Eccency on the list higher then Hive, which seems counterintuitive, unless you assume the author is counting all Hive Front Ends as separate communities.
