Trybe had a huge burst of hype several months ago with people claiming it will replace Steem and will be the main social platform for EOS. I am here to share that, unfortunately, today this is far from the reality and the platform is doing very poorly.

Trybe is lacking community given the last article posted was older than a week, they don’t have many basics in place like cover images etc. People don’t interact with much and only really on blogs. It’s also pretty slow and clunky. Although it’s improved, it was insanely challenging to setup with Trybe. I spent so long trying to get Scatter working so I could use my Trybe and stake it – After more than a week and talking with 4 different support staff at Trybe and EOS, it finally worked. You may have a ridiculous amount of trouble getting started, but after that, it’s smooth sailing. Runs on Wordpress, but hopefully, they don’t rely on Wordpress. They do have moderators that approve your posts at the moment, but the staff says they will only do this during its early stages and eventually decentralize more. I appreciate wall posts and allowing you to use slideshows etc. as you would find on Linkedin. There can be something to find after overcoming the initial challenge and or you don’t care about earning Trybe and just want to use this as a social platform. However, the many issues still remain and haven’t changed for months I cannot recommend it - https://trybe.one
