Hive communities are around for a while now. More than two years. They have become an important future of the chain and are used quite a lot. Almost all content is posted in some community that is later used from users to filter content, or by curators to support authors and communities.
There have been some updates for communities in the last year, but some more works is needed. @howo should give it a go on communities v2. If we combine the updates for communities with the possibility for easy tokenization, issue communities tokens in a fast and easy way, provide liquidity for them, things can become very interesting.

There have bees some well established communities on Hive, and some new coming in. Some of the communities already have their token as well on Hive Engine.

Here we will be looking into the following things:

  • Number of Communities created
  • Top Communities by number of subscribers
  • Top Communities by activities
  • Top Communities subscribers’ stake
  • Top Communities by active authors

Communities went live officially in February 2020, but they were in a test phase before that. The period that we will be looking here is from November 2019 till August 2022.

Number of Communities Created

First let’s see the total number of communities created with time.

We can notice that there are communities created before the official launch date, but the spike in the number of communities created is quite visible in February 2020. Afterwards the number dropped and lately there are few communities created per day.
In the last period there is a few communities created per day, usually in the range of 1 to 5.

If we look at the monthly chart we get this.

More then 300 communities per month as ATH number, while in the last months there is between 30 to 50 communities created per month.

There is now more than 3300 communities on Hive.

Top Communities By Number Of Subscribers

Who are the top communities on the blockchain? We will be looking at this by more than one parameter, but for starters lets take a look at the most obvious one, the number of subscribers.

Here is the chart.

The GEMS community comes first with 20k subscribers, followed by OCD. Photography lovers, Leofinance and Foodies in the top as well. The subscribers numbers to the communities keeps growing.

Top Communities By Subscribers’ Stake

Another interesting way to rank communities is the stake of their subscribers. After all we are on a DPoS chain 😊.
What is the stake weight of the subscribers in each community? Here is the chart.

In this type of ranking the HiveDevs community comes on top. OCD, LeoFinance and GEMS comes next.

Top Communities By Activity

The number of subscribers in a community and their stake is important. But more important probably is how active the communities are.

Here is the chart for the top communities by the number of posts made in the last 30 days.

The short form platform Actifit come on top here followed by LeoFinance, GEMS and D.Buzz as another short form community.

Top Communities By Active Authors

What about active authors?

This can be basically MAU (monthly active users) per community.
Splinterlands is on the top here followed by GEMS, Photography lovers and Actifit. Some great activity by Splinterlands players.

Overall a small number of new communities created in the last months. The top communities now have 20k subs, between 600 to 900 MAUs, and more than 3k posts per month. Hope to see more communities and more development on this side 😊. What is your favorite Hive Community?

All the best @dalz
