Haha, our troubles take many faces, don't they?
Thank you, Azirconda. I initially thought about writing a guideline on what to do or not to do, but I know I'm more of an author myself, and those I'm trying to "fix" are my peers, however sorry state they boast. It would be pompous of me to assume a position of power which I don't have. This is why this sarcasm.
I've been trying to bring some like minded people on hive but so far the attempts have not been successful. One of them joined hive (I opened the account for them) but has been writing his intro post for 15 days now.
I wish hive had a better user experience all over, not to scare people off. And hive's trending page does not help at all.
