Hi Hivers,
with this post I participate in the beautiful initiative entitled: "HiveComments - Interaction Initiative" proposed by @garybilbao and created by @theycallmedan.


Is interaction on Hive important?


Hive is the blockchain I love, I only write on Hive and I occasionally use the other centralized social networks just to promote Hive.

When a new Hive user contacts me on Discord or in general asks me for advice, my answer is always the same:

Comment, comment and comment on the posts you like!

Spend the same amount of time you write in reading and commenting on posts you like or are useful to you or get excited about.

My first tip, therefore, for those new to Hive is to interact with people as much as possible.
Everyone is undoubtedly pleased to receive a good upvote but I write on Hive for pure pleasure and fun and for this I prefer to receive a nice comment of appreciation for my post than a single and generous upvote.

My second tip for new users is:

Actively participate in communities and groups that share your interests.

Interacting and sharing one's passion with others makes everything more beautiful.


Commenting is also a way to promote Hive


How many new users appear on Hive, write the first post and see that they do not receive positive feedback leave Hive?

I don't know the exact number, but of the people I've brought to Hive, nearly half have posted a few posts and some have left Hive after just one post.

Would these users have continued to post on Hive if they received more positive comments?

Maybe yes and maybe no but ...

I am convinced that if there were more comments and therefore more interaction there would also be more users on Hive.
And I am equally convinced that a comment of appreciation can help newcomers to overcome the first difficulties.

I still remember my first post: a review of Disney's Dumbo movie.

As you can see from the following photo, I received a lot of comments and a great reward :)

I was totally inexperienced, didn't know markdown well and didn't know all the tags and it took me a long time to write my first post, convinced that it would be of interest to many people.
Result: 3 upvotes and above all 6 comments.

Of the 6 comments I received, 5 were comments written by BOTs and only one comment came from a real person.

I didn't get demoralized but how many users could leave Hive and return to centralized social networks convinced that Hive is not for them?

Here's my first post is also a demonstration of how much interaction is important and above all it's a demonstration of how much comments, especially on new users' posts, are important for Hive.


How important is the interaction for me?


For me interaction is everything, it's very important.
After the Dumbo post I started to document myself, I read a lot of guides, I read a lot of posts and above all I commented a lot of posts, I followed groups and communities and everything has improved.
In about 20 months of Steem Hive I've written 6920 comments, on average about 12 per day.

Unfortunately my work takes up most of my time but I will try to comment more and more and interact more and more.

Reading and commenting on other authors' posts on Hive has allowed me to meet beautiful people I interact with and compare myself with every day.


Say hello is a right, answering is a duty!


My parents educated me from an early age to sociality, to comparison, to respect others.

A phrase that my father often said to me and that I made my own is:

Say hello is a right, answering is a duty!

This sentence applied to Hive could be reformulated as follows:

To comment is facultative, to answer is a duty!

I found myself in the past talking on Discord with some users who complained because their posts did not receive votes and comments.

Almost always the user who complained was thinking only about writing and commenting very little.
One user in particular did not even respond to the comments he received on his posts.

Those who comment on a post spent precious time to read and comment and the author who does not respond to one of his readers is an author who has little humility or simply writes only for himself.

Obviously there are exceptions.

  • Those who receive a lot of comments may not objectively have the material time to respond.
  • Who comments with phrases like "Nice post" does not give any added value to the post he read and commented and deserves an equally fast and superficial answer (but anyway the answer is to be given in my opinion).
  • Those who have few comments and do not respond instead shows little humility and shows that they are focused solely on themselves and can't complain at all!

I personally, when I comment on an author several times and never get an answer, I simply stop following that author.
On Hive the least you can and must do is to vote for the comment received.
I'm not a blogger and I don't think I'm a skillful writer and surely some comments may have escaped me but I try to answer all the comments I receive and I vote all the comments to my posts.

Whoever comments on a post of mine is a person that I must always and only thank.

If I'm on Hive it's because I want to compare myself with others and I don't mind being contradicted or criticized and I think that constructive interaction is the true value of Hive.
Comparison is the only way to grow and improve.

And what value do you give to interaction?

I hope you liked my post and I thank you for reading it :)


Interaction On --> HIVE ON

100% agree with you, interaction is key to grow on hive and on any other platforms for that matter.

More than 6.9K comments in 20 months is commendable and that shows the time you spend commenting on others' blogs :)

There are many who have started re-iterating about the engagement on Hive and happy to see one more into that from you :)

Thanks and have a good day :)

I agree with that, I mean comment is for me also a live curation. If I'm commenting something I also upvote the content.

Would we be a community if we didn't interact?

It is vital to interact, answer with a simple hello, or I love it, it adds nothing to the publications, we must enrich the content of our fellow content creators with comments that contain an extra contribution, something that is not in the publications and is necessary. You are right when you say that interaction is everything, I agree with you. Good publication.

@jennyzer I fully agree with you, a comment that enriches an argument makes everything more useful.
Even a critical commentary, for example, could give rise to interesting reflections and reasoning.
I thank you for your comment and I am very pleased that you liked my post.
Have a nice day :)

Great post!!! ;-)
And a very correct view! Posting on Hive makes it a publishing medium, commenting and replying on Hive makes it a social medium! ;-)
Thanks for sharing your insights!

Sorry, you don't have enough staked BEER in your account. You need 24 BEER in your virtual fridge to give some of your BEER to others. To view or trade BEER go to hive-engine.com

I read another great post about this today. I'm new to Hive and had no idea how much potential the community had until I started to dig into dive into the comments. It's nice to use a platform where the comments aren't just a trolling ground for emotional vampires.

Looking forward to getting to know more of your through comments and your contributions and seeing this community and platform grow.

Much love and abundance.

Thank you for the comment @soulbasis and since you are just on Hive, welcome on Hive :)
Hive is very different from the most famous and centralized social networks.
The community on Hive is important and comments are a good way to confront each other without falling into the rampant hatred of socials like facebook.
I hope you'll have a good time on Hive and wish you the best.

You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

The best advice for a new Hiver is definitely that one: comment and participate. If we don't interact we will die alone and sad. It's that simple.

To comment is optional, to answer is a duty!

Absolutely. Simple education.
Thank you for joining this initiative and telling us about your experience. A hug.

Thanks especially to you @elcomentador for proposing this initiative.
Many people have participated in the initiative and many posts have been written with useful advice especially for new users.

Absolutely. Simple education.

Exactly. Answering the comments is first of all to be educated ;)
A big hug and a bit of !BEER

@libertycrypto27 this is a wonderful post and each and every word is so true.
I have been on Hive since late July 2020. Instead of writing posts I started out interacting with people on their and making sure to reply on every comment I get. I am still a baby here but looking two months back I feel I have come far in a good way.
Hope everyone who is not doing this reads your post and follows it.
Have a great weekend ahead.
Cheers.

Do well and you are following the right path to build interactions and links with the authors you follow and read with pleasure.
At first it's not easy for everyone but then everything gets easier and easier ;)
Have a nice day

I agree with you, I am a newbie here in #hive and my reputation is getting high for my two months of being active and participating in any contest of many communities.

Their are times that I doubted my self if will last for a week posting something here in Hive, coz i also experienced having zero value of upvote in my previous post that makes my self out of interest in posting on hive... But it doesn't stop me to make some and continue to share my thoughts and passion in photography as a newbie of course😁.

Hola
@libertycrypto27, interesante tu exposición acerca de los comentarios, es cierto al escribir un post y conseguir que no hay un solo comentario es triste...y cuando es Bot solo, más, uno siente que lo que quiere compartir no es de interés...estoy convencida que a través de la lectura podemos hacer algún cambo en nuestro día a día: en acciones, palabras hacia otros, etc...sigo escribiendo porque me agrada mucho y además es tanto lo leído y estudiado que algún legado debo dejar a las nuevas generaciones para que sus vidas sean mas agradables y manejen mejor sus conflictos internos ya que de eso tratan mis temas...inclusive la dirección de mi blog lo tienen mis hijos en su correo. @elcomentador

Hola @mercmarg

estoy convencida que a través de la lectura podemos hacer algún cambo en nuestro día a día: en acciones, palabras hacia otros, etc...

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo... la lectura es una de las actividades que más abre la mente...

Muchas gracias por su comentario que realmente aprecio.

Hello @libertycrypto27 I'm going through all the publications that talk about "commenting" and I'm realizing more and more how important it is to do so. Following the guidelines of @elcomentador and reading each one of the publications I can certify that it is the best way to create peer groups and participate in communities. Your post about Dumbo made me remember my first post, each of the incidents that I have gone through on the platform and how I have managed to overcome them.

Thanks a lot for your comment @evagavilan2 :)

Each incident overcome, each obstacle overcome becomes a stepping stone to more easily overcome the next obstacle....
Have a nice day :)
