I can't say much about the algorithm out there because all of my social media accounts are just politics oriented, nothing else. On insta we, my brother and friends, have a group/community where they share reels, so I just feel connected. Otherwise, I don't enjoy much.
It's good to take a break, with or without a big reason. I occasionally do so. I will stay fully active for a month, and will go on a two-day break. On return, all this platform asks for is some engagement and you are good to go.
Moreover, the most beautiful difference between Hive and other platforms is the kind and warm environment. There is no "pvp", and no one is trying to annihilate each other existence.
