Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re on here with us, it’s a wonderful place full of lots of great people!

I am excited to see you join us here! It’s a lot of fun and full of great people. We have lots of ways to organize people into what we call communities. Communities are very wide ranging and you will definitely find some with your interests in erotica and things of the adult nature. Last I knew there was a DPorn community but I don’t know if it’s still actively used or not. In any case though, there’s something for everyone! What’s critical for people, new and old, is that you spend more time commenting on peoples posts than you do writing your own. Comments are the single most important thing you can do here! Without commenting on things you won’t grow so please spend time on the comments!

We’ve got a beginner zone, so-to-speak that has lots of important information you can learn from. I would recommend you check it out to learn some stuff about the place, lots of great information is posted there.

One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.

I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.

With commenting and posting, we consume what’s called ‘resource credits’ and in the beginning you don’t have a lot, you have to earn more. If you want to consistently comment and post, the website https://giftgiver.site/ does 10 day delegations for you to increase your credits to comment or post. Give it a try if you need some! Please feel free to ask me about this if you are confused!

There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:

Here are also some great communities of people you can check out! The list is a work in progress so please take them as suggestions but there are a **LOT** of others besides these!
