When I was on Steemit, there were several thriving non-crypto communities. Writers, photographers, musicians, comedians, and creators of all kinds interacted with each other, engaged with each other's posts, and had a great time building their communities. I don't see the same spirit on Hive, maybe little pockets of it. But there was something magical about Steemit. Then Justin Sun stepped in.
What happened after the fork to make Hive turn inward is beyond me. Maybe a lot of the people who were active on Steemit left after the hard fork and sought greener pastures. I've looked, and I don't see greener pastures. Hive can be a great place with a lot of diversity once again, but I'm not sure how to get there. I don't think any of the solutions I've seen are going to do it. I, for one, am not willing to give up on the dream.
But I've never been the kind of person that creates content for others. I do it purely for myself and my enjoyment.
That's the best place to start. Stephen King says the same thing. Instead of creating for others, create for yourself. When the time comes to create for others, you'll know.
Oh, I'm not giving up on the dream. I've got no problem saying when I'm frustrated or upset. I will take breaks now and then when I feel like I'm about to jump the shark. Sit back regroup and recoupe then go back at it again.
