We have no subscription function. No RSS, no "email me for updates", no newsletter, none of the things that other blogging platforms like Wordpress have. Not to mention, the only way to leave a comment is to make an account, and Hive accounts are so incredibly hard to make for normal people that they give up. It's not worth it for just a comment. Hive will never grow massively until we figure out an easier way to sign up for accounts that doesn't scare off people with dozens of keys. Adding a way for people without accounts to interact would help growth.
Seeing it the same way.
Having an easy way to just comment as a guest, to leave a "like" without earning, why not?
Also, I would like to see the "eyes" in numbers on the single blog posts on hive frontend (in the very beginning this was a function but then it disappeared).
