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 was using beem to generate this post, but that is not in active development and I found HiveSQL could do it much quicker. I use Python for most things. 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 to discuss it or drop me a comment.

The #teamuk tag has been used to show you are in the UK and was earning extra votes from a bot, but that has not been active lately. Using the tag may still help me to find you, but please contact me if you think you should be on the list.

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. I can also remove anyone who asks me to. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry. There is the option to be counted without being tagged on these posts if you want that.

The code to produce this post is on Github. People are welcome to use it for their own regional version. I can help you with that if necessary.

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. 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 or what I am told or can deduce from your posts.

Other Countries

I have produced similar lists for the following countries. Active numbers are from the last time I ran them. These have used simpler queries than what I use for the UK, so they are likely to miss people. What it needs is for local communities to take up this work. The data and scripts are all on my Github for anyone to make use of. I can do other lists on demand.

• Australia
• Brazil
• Ghana
• Germany
• India
• Indonesia
• Ireland (2022)
• Italy. @bencwarmer has done a more comprehensive list.
• Japan
• Netherlands by @michelmake
• Nigeria
• Poland
• Portugal
• Romania
• Scandinavia
• South Africa
• Spain
• Turkey
• Ukraine (2022)
• UK latest on #BritList

Commentary

We are already a quarter of the way through 2025 as market react to dramatic events. I know many people will focus on the $HIVE price (go give it a vote), but this platform is about more than money. We have all made friends here and created communities. Elsewhere you will be bombarded with ads and 'suggested content' that you do not care about. You may also get people impersonating celebrities or even you, but on Hive it is harder to pretend to be someone else. An established Hive account will have a reputation score and followers that are hard to fake. You can use Hive Posh to verify yourself against your reddit and twtr accounts. If you are asked to prove who you are then you can also post links on your other accounts to verify that you own the content you post. This matters when it has value.

The number of active users went up again this month. I did find a couple more for the list, but others must have come back. I have nearly 900 in my list and it would be wonderful if even half of them came back. I know some still use automated votes, but we need engagement. Note that inactive people will not be listed after a year without any posts or votes.

If you know someone who wants an account then I can create them for free as I have claimed lots of account creation tokens.

As far as I am aware some Hivers will be at London Dev Expo in July. We may be able to organise a meetup around that.
