As I'm sitting here in a dark room with my battery nearing depletion and am yet again illprepared entertainment wise to overcome the odd days electricity decides to go on a strike, I thought I'd write another engagement post and ask everyone how much time they spend on Hive.
Doesn't have to be on the chain directly, although I know way too many of you spend way too little time on chain but instead doing other things surounding Hive through various chats, other platforms, etc.
Maybe mention if you're talking about per day or per week and feel free to also mention what it is you do exactly and wouldn't hurt to tag the projects/dapps/services you use to give them a shoutout and an easy link for others to check out.
No footer today, battery is running low so will save it to read some of the first comments rather than go looking to copypaste it now, even though now that I think about it writing this out explaining why no footer took longer than actually having gone and done that. Oh well.
Surprisingly "deep" question, once I started considering that it actually depends on how you measure it.
For example, we take way more cat photos since Hive than we ever did before. Many more situations in the greater sphere of life now translates into potential content. I talk-to-text "notes" into my phone, at random points during the day. That's not exactly on Hive... but both of these are part of the total time it takes to create a post.
Aside from that, I'd say a minimum of 30-45 minutes a day... BUT, if it happens to be Saturday (Caturday) OR we have some unexpected downtime, then I'm more likely to spend a few hours on Hive than on Farcebook or YouTube or in front of the the TV. So some days, it might be 3-4 hours.
I'm primarily a @peakd user; it remains the most feature-rich interface with the best usability and the best uptime record. I'm cautiously optimistic about what @leofinance is doing with "Threads" but the integration of "short form" and "long form" content via a single interface still needs a lot of work.
Not much of a Discord/Telegram etc. user; I'd rather be here than be there, talking about "here." To the extent I mention Hive elsewhere, it's in places that have nothing to do with Hive.
=^..^=
First month way too much and figure out it was not sustainable, now after a few heavy weeks at work and still wanted to create two or just one post a day, now I have set my self a daily goal for consistency if I can achieve it then great if not then will try to make my effort, I write mostly about tv series, doing a single post takes me about 90 minutes if not two hours, so if I have to guess I minimum spend from three to four hours a day posting, reading, commenting
I spend about 33 hours per day here.
😂
🤣 how ?
Time travel.
It's your weird sleep cycle
It's a weird cycle I'll give you that. Not much sleep involved though.
Woah, just for that I'm gonna upvote this comment 180%
Wrong! That was 100% of 2%, therefore 102%. Can't fool me.
Well you're aweful quiet about it 😂😂
I just like to watch.
You can learn alot through quiet observation lol
Shhhhh
lol
Hello 👋 @acidyo
I hope you will soon have power again and recharge your phone battery.
My journey since I met #hive has been daily. My content is mostly Craftsy, I wake up with ideas for projects I am going to make. I do them in the early hours of the morning, some take me a few hours, others more. After a short break, I start the photographic process and editing them. After a while I dedicate myself to write and prepare my content for the next day. At night or in the afternoon, I read, comment and vote. It is not always at the same time, but it is more or less the routine. At any time I connect with other networks like tuiter, discord, telegram and WhatsApp to say hello and share with other hivers. It also depends on the behavior of the internet.
In conclusion, I could say that my time in HIVE daily is at least 10 hours.
Hmm well yeah I am sadly the type of person who have spent too much time chatting in Hive communities on Discord instead of engaging here but I do spend a good amount of time on Hive projects per day specially the gaming side like @terracore and dcity and I keep checking the markets on Hive Engine like every 30 mins for some damn reason, I do use the H-E frontend instead of tribaldex or Leodex but if I want to swap something or check LP's the go to is https://beeswap.dcity.io/ ... I do waste too much time tho and should really use that time doing something productive lol. Fairly recently started using Ecency more instead of Peakd will still keep using Peakd cuz it has a special place in my heart!
In my case when I'm writing posts I can spend 3-4 hours to create it. Also reading feeds posts and curating/upvoting them I can spend 1 hour if I know that it can be interesting or useful for me. So in summary it can become 4-5 hours. Also if to talk about blockchain in whole maybe we may count splinterlands and other dapps so time grows up strongly especially if I have free time or days off.
Depends on the day really.
Ideally, I take care of some morning things and spend 45 mins in my curation chair reading and engaging with posts from my network. Sometimes, I will jump on @ecency if I am waiting for an appointment or killing some downtime.
Then, another 45 minutes putting together a post if I get to that in the evening.
A couple hours a day in a perfect day sounds like a lot doesn’t it? Fun and rewarding stuff though.
I spend about 15 minutes per day here reading posts. Typically I use Ecency on mobile for that, but right now I happen to be using PeakD.
I found splinterlands in 2021 and that was my introduction to Hive. I don't play splinterlands anymore, and keep meaning to be more active creating on Hive.
Hello! Here to just share a little bit on my journey since I kinda only came into the Hive community on 11 April with my intro post. Wouldn't say that I'm am spending alot of time within the community for now but definitely wish to increase that in the future! Really am just trying to find the right balance with work, family and social activities.
aha this is interesting, can't say how much time exactly but my day starts with the hive and end with a hive as well 😉I do have a job too but still when I did get time I curate a few posts be active in discord. I am an active curator in a few communities so I have to be here not all the time but still have to be active.
Some it is hard to manage to do all the things.
Well, I've been online at hive practically all day, I leave the ecency page open and stay there all day, not necessarily paying attention, because I'm at work, so some days I manage to comment a lot, vote, analyze and enjoy the posts of people.
Arriving home, now yes, I enter to give full attention, creating my daily post, commenting and interacting with people's posts, playing and kind of get into this routine.
I also join discord to talk to the community, I don't do this every day, but I try to enter at least a few times a week to chat and stay on top of news.
It's not really possible to say for sure, because I'm online most of the time except for sleeping, constantly checking the community posts since I'm involved as a curator.
Sometimes I feel like I'm active here in my sleep, less user posts and comments float in my imagination. It has become a different kind of addiction for me. I start curation in the morning and write posts at night and go to sleep. But I do all the work with @ecency app.
Honestly too much and it was a bit of a wake up call when LeoFinance ran into issues and how I noticed how I was super heavy on that side only. I feel like I have too many eggs in this basket now so it was a good wake up call.
Of course I do gaming on hive and have some other front ends I work with but that means a good 80% of my time if not more are strictly Hive only blockchain focused.
Rough estimate 70% of my time is on blogging and curating, 20% on gaming and 10% on trading/defi.
I'm scared of threads, need to tread lightly there to not get too addicted and waste time I should be spending elsewhere.
Well, for the last 4 days, I am threading, taking it as civic and economic life. There is madness around engagement in Leofinance, and rightfully so. Microblogging is something I always believe to be my abode. I am average, yet I enjoy every moment there. I would invite you to at least have a cursory look at the overall pulse of threading in Leofianance. We solicit your presence there.
Thank you.
I think that within working on the contents, reading (and learning), interacting and so on, I am more or less spending 1/1.5 hour per day on Hive (I mainly use Ecency).
Anyway, some days it's less, some days it's more. One day, I spend several hours here because I got so engaged in one constructive and productive discussion that I literally worked with the Ecency page constantly open and updating to keep the conversation ongoing.
I consider it an investment: for my knowledge, for knowing deserving people and for building a form of income as well
I keep Hive and Discord open on the computer in my desktop all day. That would be about 8 hours right there. Then I also have Discord open and we are always talking about Hive stuff there. When I am home, I do a quick check of Ecency before I got to bed and then I am off until the next day. I started taking weekends off as much as I can a long time ago. I was on the verge of burnout and it just wasn't fun for a time due to that. Keeping a healthy work/life/blockchain balance has been quite the dance over the years.
I spend too much time on Hive, yet not nearly enough. 😆
The hive paradox, too much time yet never enough, time moves fast yet seems to take forever
All freaking day no joke! Always something Hive-related open at my desktop when I'm at home and there's no way I'm not gonna check out some what's going on on Hive every hour when I'm outside!
Well between posting and reading, I guess I spend a lot! Every week I am trying to post three times, but every day I try to read and find different posts to interact and curate! I spend a lot reading Hive Learners and some economical posts in leo finance.
Battery is mainly my issue to stay connected in the Blockchain. I hope things get fixed down here for constantly electric 💡 supply.
I want to spend the whole day with Hive but for now, I spend about 5 hours a day.
I feel that, was out for almost 6 hours just now and couldn't think of what to do
I was talking to my girlfriend about it today and she told me that I spend on average 8 hours a day on Hive. Maybe more, but definitely not less :P
Hive, hive is weird and fun yeo watch community posts i use @ecency app, so it looks pretty good. I'm member of @skatehive .
FoneStreet if u like can follow me there would be great too, My time on #hive chain variante. Between the day and night but i spend all the day watching new post and old ones just to see comments. Especially at bights when i'm at Home somoking, and drinking coffe. I do skate and enjoy watching other #skateboarding vids.
I'm going to estimate that I spend 3-3.5 hrs per day on Hive.
I use Twitter to keep up with news about the chain since it's easy to miss blogs on Hive due to the feed constantly updating with new content. Twitter always knows what to show me due to the For You algorithm. I don't tweet much, but I do consume a decent bit.
Unlike most people on here, I rarely use Discord. It's great for reporting bugs to teams such as PeakD. I occasionally have a private chat. I don't really jump into the group chats too often though. If only we had these talks in person, I'd certainly be there if I could.
About the no footer... Why don't you just use PeakD's template feature so you never have to worry about copypasting the image again?
I spend 20% of my daily hours on hive. 4.8 hours is not really much though
Not nearly as much as I would like to, although I keep Hive open all during the day. Mostly curating and occasionally commenting :)
2-3 hours probably.
As long as I am awake, I am on hive. When I sleep, I dream of hive too. 😁
I'm always all days round with any available time I have. At work place when I finish teaching my lessons all the free time I be on hive. In the house after I have returned from school or extra duties in my garden I switch my date 24/7 upvoting, commenting and giving feedbacks. So roughly I use a about 15hours before day break again for morning activities. I am very active in @gardenhive @stemsocial @hive.ghana @diyhub as well.
I spend about 2-3 hours a day but the situation is different from 1 May because refinance campaign. I spend about 5-6 hrs and this will be till the time this campaign is live.
Easily an hour to two hours a day, from reading, to voting, to commenting. If you count the time it takes to write and post as well, then it'll be 2 to 3 hours more I guess.
I can't stay exactly how much time I spent on hive but it not but to 3 hours 😢
A whole lot, but most times you can't tell because I mostly read and pass like I do on other socials, tried many times to do more but haven't had the ability to engage as much as my teenage days on social media.
I spend roughly 3 to 4 hours a day on Hive, mainly posting, commenting and threading on threads. I occasionally research other things on Hive like the different dapps and projects. But it seems there is so much to learn and presently not enough time to do all of that.
I feel that I spend too much time on Hive, but in the end it might all be worth it. Without perseverance and work, we don't get nowhere.
I spend most of my time on @ecency, to be honest due to low daily active users on hive it's not an easy task to stay motivated and keep using hive productively, become we have very little content to consume and engage it will be easy as soon as we have thousands of daily active users on hive blockchain
I erased the times I spend on port of any one wonders !
Most of the time I try my best to be active in Hive as possible as I can. When I face busy times I am active for approximately 2-3.5 hours and in my free time I am active for more than 7/8 hours.
Hundred minutes a day.
I spend a wee of my time here, and I keep looking at my wallet than engaging! Lol. It's not a good habit though
Several hours a day, probably, even on days when I don't make a post.
For me, I spend roughly 4-5 hours daily and other times when I feel weak, I spend less than an hour but would have to make it up the next day. I mostly engage with others, thread on Leofinance which has become addictive since the Adoption started on the 30th of April. I use the Ecency frontend most as it's easier for me.
I usually browse my favorites feed and sometimes other feeds for a while in the morning before work starts at the library, then a quick check during a break at work, and finally more browsing and a post at night. Total time varies from an hour to a few hours.
The tab almost never closes.
These days I barely spend 1 hour on hive. My phone's battery is giving me issues coupled with the low electricity in my area. I hope to be fully active again soon
In the day it took small spaces to visualize each post so I would say I spend a lot of time hahaha even though sometimes I don't understand a lot of things in a tool that has me hooked as I discover it.
I pop in for around 15 minutes daily at least. Longer if I decide to post something.
Several hours per day. Probably at a minimum 2h on my busy days, but up to like 4h doing various things. I'm explicitly not going to count chatting with folks on Discord / Twitter, as that would likely take up another couple hours.
I feel like I've been spending time on Hive about 4-5 hours a day. I made several drafts. And as a newbie, I spend my time engaging a lot.
My phone says that I spent 10 hours on Ecency dApp last week.
