Introduction

I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something @pennsif used to do as I think it helps bring the community together. Since then I have found lots more people to include. @HiveSQL has been really useful for this. I use Python with beem (by @holger80) in a script to generate what you see here. Some of the post is manual as I like to include some commentary and I will keep tweaking it. I am open to suggestions for improvements. I aim to do a fresh list on the first Saturday of each month.

I also rely on the community to let me know of more people to include who may not have obvious account metadata. You can find me in the @teamuksupport Discord to discuss it or drop me a comment.

The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad. Inclusion on this list does not mean I recommend people, but I will remove accounts if they are known to be abusing Hive or are falsely reporting their location. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry.

Previous editions

What it means

The numbers above are for those who had posted or commented in the previous month. In the lists below I break each region into three lists:

Active as above.
Just voting. I will guess that a lot of these use automatic votes, e.g. HiveVote. Previously there were some that appear to have been compromised as they vote for known abusers. Those are now excluded until I hear that they have recovered control.
Inactive in the last month, but most have done something since Hive started. We can hope to bring them back.

I want to count people rather than accounts as some have several. I can include those in brackets if you want. Let me know if you want me to update your listing. You can be as specific as you like about your location.

Commentary

Happy new year! We have another nice boost to the numbers this time with well over double the active Brits on Hive that we had a year ago. It would be great to double it again in another year, but it will take some effort. We should be trying to sign up those who could benefit from Hive as creators and as part of the community. The community really matters as that is what keeps people motivated even if they are not making much. People are happy to be social on other platforms for no reward, but they can do it here and earn.

We are seeing growth in most areas. This should make it more viable to have local meet-ups. There may be limitations on that for now, but we should be looking into it anyway. I find Hive works best when you find those who share your interests and that can include location.

I hope Hive is great for you in 2022 and that you can do great things for Hive.
