It’s almost two months since I joined Hive, and to be honest, it has been an interesting journey for me.
When I first came in, I didn’t really understand how everything worked. I was just posting and hoping for the best. Sometimes I would check my wallet again and again, expecting something big. Other times I would feel like maybe I was not doing it right.
But as time went on, I started to understand that Hive is not something you rush.
One of the first things I learned is patience. On Hive, things don’t just happen overnight. You don’t just post today and expect everything to blow up immediately. At first, that part was a bit frustrating, but now I understand it better. Growth here is slow but steady if you stay consistent.
Another thing I learned is that engagement really matters.
At the beginning, I was just focused on posting my own content. I didn’t pay much attention to commenting or interacting with others. But later I realized that Hive is more like a community than just a posting platform. When you support others, people start noticing you too.
Even simple comments can go a long way.
I also learned that quality is important. It’s not just about posting every day, but about what you are actually saying. People can tell when you put effort into your post and when you just rush it. I started taking my time more, thinking about what I want to write before I post.
Another lesson for me is consistency.
There were days I didn’t feel like posting at all. Days I just wanted to stay offline. But I noticed that whenever I disappear for too long, it affects everything. Coming back feels like starting again. So now I try, even if it’s not every day, to stay active.
One thing I also like about Hive is that it teaches you discipline without forcing you. Nobody is chasing you to post. Nobody is forcing you to engage. Everything depends on you. If you don’t show up, nothing happens. That alone has made me more responsible with how I use my time here.
I won’t say I have figured everything out yet, because I’m still learning. But I can say that I understand Hive better now than when I started. For anyone new like me, I would just say don’t rush it. Take your time to learn how things work. Engage with people. Be consistent. And most importantly, be yourself. You don’t have to copy anyone. Two months is not a long time, but it has already taught me a lot.
And I believe there is still more to learn.
