March has closed itself upon us, welcoming the new month of April. We are continuing our program of rewarding our members and participants as outlined here. March 5th was the day that these and other monthly rewards have been sent out. Rewards for posts have already been sent out throughout the duration of the month.
We’ve now better optimized our count of comments, threads, and posts, thanks to the diligent work of 
We managed to get a little bit of info on referrals to the community this time – if you referred anyone to this community, or were referred by someone, please let me know asap!

Referrals to the community based on members who joined
I know we can do better than this, people. Keep track of those referrals and let me know at the end of the month so you can get some juicy HSBI rewards!

Screenshots of HSBI Rewards
This time, we resumed using 
We’ve now held our inaugural member list to 520 members, including some individuals with more than 1 account. We’re splitting these membership rewards into 6 to accommodate all of our inaugural members!
Our total HSBI given out has slightly decreased because our curator had a situation in which he preferred liquid HIVE this time rather than HSBI. Additionally, our HSBI rewards for Threads decreased (there were certainly less #freecompliments tag), but our HSBI for comments increased! It’s good that we’re still rolling strong and will continue to find ways to improve enagegement.
Check if You’ve Been Rewarded Correctly!
We’re all human here, and mistakes can happen. That’s why it’s best to double-check that you’ve been rewarded as promised.
The best way to check whether you received the rewards that you were due is to check up HSBI’s website and input your username. You’ll go here, enter your username, then click on transaction history, and finally on sponsored HSBI. Look for fc-nominations under “sponsor.”
If I missed out sending you on any rewards, please let me know promptly so that I can correct it. It takes up to a day to process what I sent out, so if you don’t see it by now, I’ll send whatever you let me know is missing.
Upcoming Contests and Rewards!
Within a couple of days, we’re going to announce our nominees for Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month! We also started off our Threads Engagement Contest, but it appears that we won’t have any winner this month because we don’t have enough ongoing #freecompliments tags.
Outside of contests/rewards, we’ll also keep working on our mental health initiative, and also the financial aspect of the community. I’m going to continue offering new jobs, incorporating projects/tokens, and optimizing our reward system so that, in the long run, we’ll run as smooth as butter. Exciting stuff, if I may say so myself!
Conclusion
We’ve completed HSBI Unit payouts for January, and continue to build our curation power and other initiatives. The community is growing wonderfully, and the foundations for its functionality have already been set in concrete. Once Hive as a whole has a resurgence of active membership, we’re going to explode in activity, earn lucratively, and most importantly: spread joy far and wide!
Don’t forget that you have the option to add hive-140084 as a 5% or 10% beneficiary to your post in order to support the community’s growth. We also give out a few promotions for posts per day!
Have I captured all of the rewards correctly? How else can we increase engagement within the community?
I would love to hear any and all opinions about these topics from everyone who is currently a member of FreeCompliments, since you’re all inaugural members! Anyone else who finds this page is also very welcome to voice their opinion. We’re all about free speech, and everyone’s experience has value.
More posts with further ideas incoming soon!
