Hive is failing at getting eyes on the dapps. It's crazy that St--mit gets more views and we have to try to fix that. Of course we should be linking to our feeds and posts from other social media and I do that, but I do not have a big following on those. I use a mix of front ends too. I have recruited a few friends, but that gets harder as many are just not interested. I would hope that the actions of Musk will drive more people away from Twtr and we need to get some of those on board here. It can be tricky to build users as you need that critical mass to have enough interesting content and we need viewers as well are creators.
If each of us do something to help then it adds up.

I have the same problem. I hardly have any friends to begin with. I'm not even posting on other social media. I had given up on those even before I found HIVE (STEEM at the time).
The best path towards retention would be to focus onboarding entire communities at once. Anyone create their own censorship resistant community on HIVE. This is a great selling point to any niche that is fed up with traditional social media.
I've said a few times that we could benefit from niche communities. That could include other crypto communities who don't want to be on FB or reddit. We need people to take that leap into something new, but Hive is well proven as a stable platform.
I'm 100% with you on this!
