The hardfork has been a pain in the arse, but it is said that bugs will be fixed by Monday...cross fingers and hang in there

Oh yes, there are definitely some people who keep working at bettering Hive. Dan is one of them... and what I really admire about him is that he's doing what he does from also holding a huge stake in this place. The LeoFinance crew are doing a great job too, even if it is mostly their own thing.
I do hope those bugs get worked out soon; particularly the one that shows all posts as having ONE comment, when actually there are many!

From an investment point of view, I'm hoping this hardfork is a big step forward, because from a blogging point of view it was a pain in the arse.
But right now, it's not surprising content and engagement is down, the site is running like a pig, and the price is down to 13 cents - I'm thinking any sign of a price increase will start more posting, and if it stays low for a bit longer I'm not panicking - I'm picking it to get back up to 20 cents plus before the end of the year, and don't think it will go under 10 cents because the ideas behind it are so good
I'm just hoping it was somehow meaningful in the sense that Hive is evidently (or so I hear) now "it's own chain" rather than just Steem 2.0. I'm not a techie, so not sure how that actually manifests for us grunts at ground level...
If the history of Steem is anything much to go by, activity/posting always seemed to ebb and flow with the price of the token. The price of the token worries me less than the anemic trading volume which seems more like an indicator that nobody cares. I hope I am wrong about that, because I really do like this community!

I suspect that it won't be blogging that saves things but web 3 layers - all over my head but I just get the sense that is where things are going
And if it does, blogging will take off as soon as people start earning to post - a few dollars is all it seems to take going on steemit, so i don't think us posting will help much, but all those geeks going on about their backends could do it
Leofinance for example is utter garbage content, but it's taking off because of the idea behind it
Do you remember what the site was that showed all the Hive account rankings? - I've forgotten what it was called.
This is the one I use for Hive, in general:
https://hivebuzz.me/ranking
Just pop your own username in at top right to find out where you stand.
This one has rankings for the Hive-Engine 2nd layer tokens:

You have to click around a bit to get to the "richlists" but it's workable.
Yes, the actual content on LeoFinance is no great shakes, but they do have what makes for a dynamic community: an energetic and constantly working/updating/engaged "management;" a fairly tightly defined focus (crypto investing and finance); a clearly stated (and pretty transparent) plan/roadmap... and a substantial base of supporters ready to sing its praises.
No reason why other communities like STEMGeeks or NaturalMedicine couldn't create similar successes. All it takes is a lot of WORK.

Many thanks, Hivebuzz is it, I lost my bookmark and couldn't remember the name.
And the content on Leofinance - now I've had a better look - it really is low end!
And this is one of the better posts - it inspired me to squawk rather than just doze off!:
