Yeah that's how it is now with Hive. It's really easy to get demotivated when you get no attention which is what's happening a lot in Hive and that also applies when people want to do a project on Hive.
Personally l wouldn't want to be asking whales for support but without its useless, which in my opinion is unfair because everyone should be able to do interesting projects and be successful without any kind of special support.
unfortunately that's how it is...
While communities were a good way for people to find more of what they wanted, it did split us all up a bit. I remember before communities when it was all one long feed you'd have all kinds of people appearing in your comments even with some curiosity or something to say.
But yeah, communities did put us into our own little bubbles and there is the negative side to that where people stick to them a bit too much. And as user numbers shrink, naturally the more niche stuff gets hit harder. I do hope it'll change but meh, I don't have high confidence in Hive being what we all thought it would be after almost a decade of life.
Yeah thats true, would be nice to have just one feed where everyone has the same chance but also the niche subjects have their perks as well
I've mentioned this to others in the past but it would be neat to have a little page or area of the feed that does just pull random posts from different communities to increase general discovery.
