Your answer didn't show me how to educate before joining. I know the say "post and earn crypto" is a common driver, but I don't like it as it also attracts extractors and scammers. The ideal world would be people joining because it's fun, and earn crypto is a consequence. The users that join for the fun are easier to educate. Blockchain is already too complicated to explain, so I don't see how to educate before join in. I, personally, also had a very hard time onboarding new users, even family members. But skatehive has been pretty successful onboarding. So any successful onboarding of a real user is already a win.
skatehive.app is made by skaters for skaters, you can see that users are having fun in the platform. I think it's one of the only successful community frontends, where a lot of users don't even know about the existence of generic frontends (peakd, ecency, inleo) until much later on, they use exclusively skatehive.app. For example, they are not exposed to bad habits like buying votes (premium, delegations), making it easier to educate them to keep their stake for themselves instead of trading for votes, and then cash out. We have time to educate before they are exposed to bad habits. I believe we have much better chances of having positive contributors in the future this way.
Agree! So you're already going a great job!
