The trends are usage though? Not first click visits - have they got referrer stats?

If we post from peakd, the canonical link, the images, and other links likely included in the post will point to peakd, which google seems to have no knowledge of post-wise.

this is for peakd.com

you're right that hive.blog seems to have more visitors, but the engagement is happening on peakd.com.
here's hive.blog https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/hive.blog

I don't have an account with alexa but would be interested to know the referrer stats for peakd - where is the traffic coming from. If it's bookmarked links and hive.blog, then that'll be existing users. I'd like to see referrals from Google - if these are happening then it will not matter which interface the blogs are entered on.

it states 7% are coming from Google

Ah good!

So peakd links are appearing in searches, awesome :D

Do we have to pay to know this site?

I will not be using hive.blog. I tried recently and can't go back to that....it's good to have a backup site, but peakd.com is so much better, that people need to find it first. LOL
