# 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](https://github.com/holgern/beem) (by @holger80) in [a script](https://peakd.com/hive-169321/@steevc/automating-checking-for-active-users-with-python) 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](https://discord.gg/ZQK6BFt) to discuss it or drop me a comment.

Those based in the UK can use the #teamuk tag for an extra vote. If you see people using it on non-relevant posts then drop them a friendly comment to point out that is not encouraged.

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.

The code to produce this post is [on Github]([Github](https://github.com/steevc/hivescripts)). People are welcome to use it for their own regional version.

# 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](https://hive.vote/). 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. Otherwise I will use what is on your profile.

# Commentary

Not much change this month. Increases in activity in some areas are countered by drops elsewhere. I have not found too many new people recently. My script that looks at profile locations finds some old accounts that became active, but as they are not posting it is hard to know if they are genuine. Some may have been hacked. Others that do post have not responded when I asked for some confirmation of where they are.

If we want to improve on these numbers we need to encourage people to stay active. I appreciate that can be a chore and we do not want to nag our friends. If they do not want to post then you could show them how to earn from automated curation. You could get them to follow your voting trail.

We also need new recruits on Hive. Talk to people about it, especially if they are active on other platforms. Anyone posting original photos, art, music or writing could be earning here. In these tough times some extra income ought to be welcome.

I do wonder if I should stop including accounts that have been inactive for a long while, but then they will not see the notifications anyway. I welcome suggestions on how to make the list more useful.

If you see it in time, can you please vote for Hive in this Twitter poll. We may not win as Proton seems to have massive support. Some people suspect bots are involved, but Twitter is full of them. At least we got to the final from 32 starters.

# Meetups

There could be a meetup in London soon. Keep an eye out for details. If you can see people in your area then you can set something up. Just find a venue and set a date, then tag people in a post about it. Feel free to tag me and I will publicise it.
