RE: Platforms, Network Effects, And What Hive Is Missing

There is simply not a good way to communicate and learn what is going on within hive and all of the games and projects here on hive. Hive has blog posts instead of forums. And we need Wiki pages. "Build it and they will come" as the saying goes. These are the reasons hive is reliant on discord for communications which requires running a separate app and then the information is even more not available and discussed on hive.

Hive has the potential to become similar in use to reddit if we can figure out the way to develop a better communication system where people feel the sense of community that comes with a discussion forum where each community has its own forum and wiki page.

Amen, we have been trying but I must say: We failed so far...

We need to keep trying to find an effective way.

We failed because the focus is on attracting users instead of implementing other network effects.

I just put up a post about the flywheel effect.

This comment strikes a chord with me since I originally joined Steem/Steemit specifically to use as a blockchain-base Reddit replacement. @taskmaster4450 wrote in the post about "stickiness". I had cashed out all my Steem because early on it was even harder to find anything "sticky" in the way I found value. Recently I've spent more time on Hive, and I feel it has become a lot more "sticky" once I learned how to use the communities and other feeds properly. We have a HUGE amount of potential with Hive, both as a social media experience and a medium of exchange, but I don't think it's built out well enough yet. I don't know what would be THE thing that would change that, but if we can find that I believe we'd see a lot more retention and activity. It's probably something as simple as a well designed app (I quite miss Steepshot, the Instagram replacement), but I'm not someone that could make it happen.

So why not build Wiki pages?

I already have over 5,500 pages in LeoGlossary of different information. Anyone can use Hive's decentralized database.
