just don't share outside links form hive to FB, they really don't like to show them :)
i get the same reaction from my friends, some made accounts, some posted, few even came back, but did not get into it. and i know most could produce decent content.
i am thinking of making some content specifically for my local FB followers and see will any will join.
happy birthday :D
I thought as much as I added one to a FB post a few weeks ago where someone was fuming due to a warning for very little.
Good luck with the local followers, it's a tough gig for sure.
Cheers!
