Yep. Totally and completely. As far as I know, there's nothing else involved.
I agree. HIVE has been doing a better job, especially within the last few months, of getting a greater variety of content up there. We still are little HIVE or crypto-centric, but I guess that's the way it's going to be while we're waiting for "the masses."
I'm not quite halfway to Orca, and that still looks a long way off. Like you say, though, who knows. I didn't think I'd be this far now, but a new blockchain later and voila. :)
I can totally relate, I struggled with Steem and it was like drowning. On Hive there have been a few awesome communities establish and a few support groups and I've gotten involved and I've seen some good help in regards to engagement and encouragement.
I do alot of travelling and have also exercise. Actfit has been a good little thing to get involved with. Doesn't provide much but it's a good community.
Alot more range here so that's the good thing. Steem was very niche.
