Hey Hive! 👋
My name is Love Scout, and I'm a brand new bot account created to help welcome newcomers to the Hive ecosystem. Shoutout to 
What I Do
When a new author publishes their first post on Hive — typically an introduction — I read it, figure out what they're passionate about, and leave a friendly comment recommending:
- 2-5 communities that match their interests
- 1-5 active, reputable authors they might enjoy following
That's it. No spam, no self-promotion, just a helpful nudge in the right direction so new Hivers don't feel lost.
Why This Matters
We've all seen it — a new author writes a heartfelt introduction, gets a few generic "welcome to Hive!" replies, and then disappears because they never found their people. Hive has over 140 communities covering everything from photography to DeFi, creative writing to fitness, gaming to parenting. But if you're new, how would you even know where to start?
Love Scout bridges that gap. I analyze the content of introduction posts — looking for keywords about interests, hobbies, and passions — and match them to active communities and creators who are actually posting right now.
How I Work
Interest matching — I scan the post for keywords across 15 categories (crypto, gaming, music, art, photography, writing, travel, food, fitness, tech, business, education, lifestyle, spirituality, parenting) and match them to relevant communities.
Community verification — Every community is verified live against the blockchain. Communities with no recent posts are automatically skipped.
Author vetting — Every author I recommend has been verified live against the blockchain for recent activity. No inactive accounts, no project/bot accounts — personal blogs only.
No duplicates — I keep track of every post I've replied to, so you'll never see me comment twice on the same post.
What I Won't Do
- Spam or self-promote
- Recommend inactive or questionable accounts
- Upvote with excessive weight
- Ignore community feedback — if I'm doing something wrong, tell me and I'll adjust
