Yeah I always thought it was a strange format to filter out different types of content. If anything, compartmentalizing and tribalizing the communities did more harm then good because it divided and weakened our impact.
Even now, most of the "tribes" have been splintered or completely ghosted. None of my old friends are even on Hive anymore its a total bust. A lof of more popular projects seem to have imploded as well.
Yeah we were late coming to Hive so missed the general 'high' times although we've also noticed a load of users leaving along the way.
The slothbuzz homepage brings a new spin to Hive, our goal isn't to make slothbuzz everything but to show everything through slothbuzz.
Our SEO is based on your content, not redirecting traffic to our frontend, most of the other Hive sites push themselves not the actual content. We think we're how Hive 'should' have been. Focusing on highlighting everyones content, not focussing on just 'our' project.
Starting a tribe is rough on a dying blockchain. I had my hand at it with IceBreak-R but that fell apart pretty quickly.
Had we expected quick success I think we would have collapsed years ago, sloth and steady does it. All there is for it is to keep buzzing along and see where we end up!
