Introducing the Hi From Hive Community

Many Hivers are making a lot of effort to onboard new users to Hive. The other week I was thinking, what if we could get every Hiver to talk about their own Hive experience and share it with the world? This would make the whole Hive story much more personalised and add a human touch to it. Reading first-hand Hive experience from a real person could potentially make a massive difference in onboarding new users or not. And, what if that Hiver lives in the same country or even city? Perhaps that person would think "Wow! It's actually happening in my city, I want to be part of that!"

That's what inspired me to create the Hi From Hive community.

WHAT'S HI FROM HIVE ALL ABOUT?

Many of you will know that I am part of the @pinmapple team, so I thought, why not use Pinmapple to achieve my aim? My vision is that existing Hivers will write about their views and experience of Hive and pin that onto the map creating a Hi From Hive Map. As more Hivers post about it, the pins will increase to show the breadth of the users around the world.

We can share the map on social media or whenever we tell people about Hive. Maybe those people are interested to see who's from their country or even home city. They can click on any pin on the map, and it will take them to that Hiver's post. They can see for themselves what Hivers say about Hive (good things I hope!!). I mean where else, and how else can you see so many Hive testimonials in one place? How cool is that!!!

WHAT DOES THE HI FROM HIVE MAP LOOK LIKE?

Here's what the Hi From Hive map will look like when it is loaded with Hi From Hive posts. People can zoom into any area, click on a pin and it will take them to the Hive post. The link for the map is https://pinmapple.com/?tag=hifromhive, you can share this link with people.

YOU can help grow this map

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

- Write a Hi From Hive post about your experience of Hive for non Hive users.

What is Hive to you? What do you do on Hive? Blog? Vlog? Share your art or music? Invest? Are you a dev geek? A gamer? A political or crypto analyst? Are you here to meet more people? Or do you just have nothing better to do in life? How does Hive differ from other social media or blogging websites? How easy or difficult was it for you when you first joined?

- You can talk about how Hive has changed your life

What did you learn from being on Hive? Did it enable you to complete an ambition eg develop an app, sell your art, launch a project? Do you rely on Hive earnings for a living? Are your closest friends all on Hive now? Did you use Hive earnings to make a major or extravagant purchase? Did you travel to a new place because of Hive? Have you found new hobbies or interests through the Hive community?


The above are just some examples. You don't have to talk about those specific points. Everybody's experience is different, be creative, and be yourself. That's Proof of Brain, and that's what Hive is all about.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE WHEN WRITING YOUR HI TO HIVE POST

  • This is NOT your self-introduction post. Unless it's relevant to your Hive experience, don't talk about which University you went to, how many siblings you have, and the name of your pets. It's not about you. It's about your experience on Hive
  • Only one post from each account please. If you have encountered a very different Hive experience when living in different places these few years, feel free to do a separate post. Otherwise, if it's not location specific, please keep to one post only. Attending a Hive meetup in another city doesn't count as a separate location specific Hive experience
  • This isn't a curation program from Hi From Hive or Pinmapple. But if you write a really good post, you could get support from OCD. And as usual, good content may be well supported by the rest of the Hive community
  • You don't have to post from the Hi From Hive community https://peakd.com/c/hive-104601/created though it helps to keep all the posts in the same place

And, the two most important things to note

  • you have to use the hifromhive tag in your post otherwise it won't appear on the Hi From Hive map
  • you have to pin your post on Pinmapple to get onto the map. Here's how to do it
  1. Go to https://pinmapple.com/
  2. Click on Get Code at the top
  3. Enter your location in the Search for a location box
  4. Or you can zoom in the map to find your location. For security reasons, don't search for your home address. Search for a landmark in your town/city/county/state and click on it.
  5. You will now see a pin on the map and a bit of code at the bottom of the screen that looks like [//]:# (!pinmapple 26.517100 lat -38.060485 long d3scr)
  6. Copy and paste that entire code from the Pinmapple website onto your post. Note that every code is unique as it represents your place, so make sure you use the above method to get it. Don't copy someone else's.
  7. Make sure to add the hifromhive tag to your post and publish your post when you're ready !!!

Last and not the least

  • thanks to @martibis for allowing me to use Pinmapple for this
  • and a massive thanks to @doze for designing the Hi From Hive community logo and all the awesome graphics. You are free to use these in your Hi to Hive post.

Let's all put Hive on the map and tell the world about it!!!!!

I totally vouch for @ybanezkim26 as a community leader. He has been a prominent figure at Hive and has really been supportive at growing the blockchain community in the Philippines. This sounds like a great initiative, though I have yet to experience more of Hive, being here for approximately a week.

Sounds like a great idea, as long as we can get other people to see it. The problem is always that a lot of our attempts turn into us talking to ourselves. That's what Twitter feels like. I am trying to build a facebook group around topics im interested in and about 5-10% of my posts will mention hive or link to a post here or open discussions which may lead to direct conversation where Hive might come up. Not everything is done for Hive, i just try to connect people and people and people and things

I think there are many different approaches to promote Hive, and each has its advantages depending in your audience. Your approach is great as its not hard sell, that may put some people off.

I'm trying to create an asset which everyone can use as a tool when they want to give people a quick overview of Hive, "this is where the users are around the world, look there are some in your city, see what they say about Hive"

Hopefully people can help to build the story

This is a great initiative, it is interesting to learn about personal journeys on the Hive. Love the branding and design as well. I have a quick question, what happens when we relocate to another place or another country, can we update the pin later? Thanks

0

You can't update an old post or the pin, but if you move to a new location and there's a totally different hive experience, then I think it's fine to do another post as it's location specific. What I'm trying to avoid is people writing a post for every individual Hive event at different locations. Hope that helps

I think your cloud community is great example of how you have built a rather niche interest on Hive and bought like minded people together. Hopefully people will read these type of stories and think I can use hive to build my own interest group (sorry, not saying you have to talk about that 😂)

That's great Fiona, posting from Steempress is all part of the Hive experience, hopefully it will encourage some other bloggers to join. There's no rush to post, as the map will always be available for Hivers to share their experiences, and to be shared outside of the Hive community.

I thought steempress has already moved to Hive?

You never know, you may find there are a few more Irish if more people share their experience on the map. But seriously, I'd love to see at least one pin for every country. I know Ireland is definitely going to get one!

A great idea for the newbies as well as leaders on Hive.

I think it will let the users of Hive to get more personalised reasons to contribute more in this ecosystem while inviting others to join and share their stories.

Most interestingly, each and every story will be unique; that's what counts.

Maybe not for brand new newbies as they don't have that much experience of Hive yet, but definitely when they've settled down and found their feet. Hopefully we'll also see some leaders and whales sharing their experience.

And you're absolutely spot on, the unique experience from everyone is what makes this so interesting.

Hola, @livinguktaiwan, me parece una excelente iniciativa, tanto para las personas de fuera como para que nosotros mismos tengamos una idea de cuántos en nuestra localidad interactuan también en esta blockchain.

This is totally awesome! I would love to spread the word about HIVE for all around the world, so I'll make my post to talk about how HIVE is a meaning of survival for most of the venezuelan people (like me) who's creating awesome stuff within it!

We're right now going through the worst economic crisis in the story of humanity and we can have hope and opportunities by using HIVE.

Thank you for this! Good Vibes and blessings from Caracas, Venezuela.

Good idea. Do we have to be part of this new community to participate? (I really don't need yet another community that I don't really have time for.) And what happens when we move? Do we do a new "hi from Hive" post? or...

You don't have to subscribe to this community nor post from it if you don't want to. Though you do have to pin the post on Pinmapple and use the hifromhive tag to make it work.

As to moving away, in majority of the cases it makes no difference to one's hive experience as its all online, so no need to do another post. However, if it really is very different eg you built a massive local hive community from nothing to something at the new place, that's worth sharing. What I'm trying to avoid is to overload the Hi From Hive map unnecessarily by people writing multiple posts for different events when it's really all part of their overall Hive experience.

Hope that makes sense

Just recently back from time away, just now seeing this @livinguktaiwan. What an interesting idea! While not sure how I could participate in it, with my privacy concerns, I do see the great potential for your initiative.

Love the idea that the Pinmapple map will be a part of it. Will "Hi from Hive" pins be somehow distinct from the normal travel post pins?

I wish you great success on your fine initiative. I have reblogged it, to do my small part to increase awareness of and participation in it.

You can zoom out and pin anywhere at the Rocky Mountains to protect your privacy @roleerob, or even just a point in USA, that's fine. Hope that will solve your location problem should you wish to share your Hive experience, which I hope you will. It will be great to get as many people to talk about their Hive experience as possible. Thanks for helping to reblog it!

Its a great idea, i think its a great opportunity to those who are new and are interested in it. My friends actually didn't know about hive, my younger brother introduced this to me. Firstly i was little nervous to start, unfortunately i am very conscious about people's review but at the end i realizes Hive community respects each others point of view. Then i give it a try and here i am. Now i have my account and i am consistent about posting my thoughts. But the problem i am facing is that people are liking my content in hundreds but my followers are very very few. But that's ok i will not stop working.
