Communities are still one of the key features on Hive! Recently there have been some larger communities launched on Hive. The HIVE price is also attracting more users. Let’s take a look at communities’ data.

Communities should allow users to find content of their interest easier and also post in the communities of their interest, allowing them to connect more with people alike. It should help discovering content as well.

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 December 8, 2021.

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 2019. On February 20, there was more than 200 communities created. 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.

We can notice a small increase in the monthly numbers with more than 50 communities created per month.

There is now almost 3000 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 almost 17k subscribers, followed by OCD. Photography lovers, Dtube, Leofinance and Hive Gaming in the top as well with around 10k subscribers. I remember when first doing this report, the top community had few thousands subscribers, and only few had more then 1k.
We are now far above those numbers.

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 and LeoFinance follow. GEMS is no.4 here. We can notice the new Gods On Chain community showing up in this chart as well 😊.

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 November 2021.

The short form platforms come on top here with Actifit on the top followed by D.Buzz. LeoFinance and GEMS on no.3 and no.4.

We can see Splinterlands is in top now as well.

Top Communities By Active Authors

What about active authors? How many in November 2021?

This can be basically MAU (monthly active users) per community.
GEMS is on the top here by a small margin, followed by Splinterlands! There is a big probability now that Splinterlands will come on top by number of active users in the following period. This just confirms the overall growth of the game, that is also reflected on the activity on the posting side as well.
LeoFinance and Foodies on no.3 and no.4 by number of MAUs.

Hope to see more communities and more development on this side 😊. What is your favorite Hive Community?

All the best @dalz
