Follow Me to Follow You .:. 1000 Followers!

On Hive I have actually 2 lists, my follower list who I like to broadly follow and see what content they are producing and I have my favourites list on Ecency where I can follow more closely those I am more actively following. I am glad Ecency made this function.

I quite agree with you I have 1600 followers and I follow about 300. I follow people who do things that interest me and I think we should all do the same.

I think the same. I have a follower base, but many do not post on Hive anymore. But as @mypathtofire say I have a favorites list on Ecency so I read their posts more or less regularly, like yours :) 😎

The "follow me and I'll follow you" thing, is a waste of time.
I follow people because I like their content. My friends and the people I engage with the most, I have them in my favorites list on Peakd, which is the feed I always try to look at the first place. Then if I have more time, I look at the following feed or in some cases the communities feed if I'm going to curate for other niches in OCD.

Hahaha there are people who would Mostly do better than us at a set timeframe, the fact that we eventually achieved our goal is better. I think having a group of people who would stay engaged with one over time is the best, irrespective of the numbers. Congratulations on 1k followers.

I have to agree with your write up. You made me look at my stats by the way so I found out that I have more followers than I would guess. Still they are less than 20% of yours (I joined less than a year after you). During my upcoming adventure some more will probably follow but I won't be counting anyway. I just want to expose people to what my eyes will see during this and how things really are out there while hopefully make other people outside HIVE decide to have a look at it (and hopefully join). Though I see that poshtoken doesn't work lately when I share HIVE stuff on Twitter...

I followed some content creator when they issued coins. Then i noticed the contents were interesting. So i just looked into that tag, and i joined the community, i get updates and from there i see which other blogs i like !

!BEER

Absolutely not, I think the whole follow for follow idea is pointless and I kind of learned this the hard way.

I was twitch streaming for the first time over lockdown and started doing follow 4 follow with other streamers. Met some cool people and would tune in and watch them, then if I streamed they'd come into mine and chat for minute and then leave, almost as a way of "Getting me back for tuning into their stream." But, they weren't there because they liked what I was doing and if I didn't make it onto their stream to say hello, I'd never see them again.

At the start, it seemed like a good community was forming, but it was all fake. I think I have 130 followers on there, and I get 1-3 viewers if I stream.

Here on Hive, I sometimes get random follows from people, with no comment, or likes and essentially no idea how these mystery people found me, or what piece of content compelled them to follow me, so I just ignore them.

Although, I'd be the same as you in the sense that when I see a follow I go and check out what kind of stuff they do, just to see if it's something I'm into, if it isn't, I don't see the point in following them. Well, in saying that, I do follow people who I have buzzed with in the comment sections of posts, either theirs or mine, so sometimes it isn't just about the content they make.

😂 I used to follow quite a bit of people but I think during the migration from steem to hive, I suddenly lost all the people I followed and now I am still struggling to find them again. But also, because some of them have left. I wonder how people got 5k follower on hive but like you said, legacy chain. I wanted to reach 4000 but I am not too ambitious about that. I am pretty chill about all these 😂 though maybe sometimes i have to be bit more serious? IDK.

I followed you quite some time back just because of Liotes. 😜

I don't bother to ask people to follow me although I'm thankful for any of those who've done so on HIVE for whatever reason they chose to do so.

I do prune my "follow" list every few months though. I remove people who haven't posted/commented anywhere at all in months, or even those who spam reblogs of low quality stuff like there's no tomorrow. I do like to discover the occasional interesting post from reblogs, but not those daily spam posts of giveaways. I don't see much of a need to reblog those.

Haha, I have just followed you after coming across you via @orestistrips ..

I learned that early on and totally agree: the followers on your profile is only a number, but it looks good because it means you might be interesting..

I don't use the follow list, it gets far too busy especially when people reblog posts.
I use the lists mostly to organise people by content.
Still looking what to put you under..🤔😄

Follower numbers can be quite deceptive... it's often not an indication of engagement. The SEC completely destroyed LBRY... and their token. Legal fees hit them hard. Not much happening there, in my opinion... at least, for now.

Yes, not without it :)
!WINE

The numbers have become a veil before the reality of this world. A lot of energy is spent just to show or prove something to someone). A few will make it, the rest will burn out and lose themselves over time. In the meantime, life goes on...

You're in my favorites, so I rarely miss your posts) Favorites really work when fine-tuned!

Well, I'll get my followers sooner or later. It's too early now. I can give away more value than I do now).

Stay !ALIVE

I was using the other social medias actively and I had never done blogging before HIVE. I can say that HIVE has taught me this, and also time is money. After HIVE, I have started hardly ever to use the known social medias which can only give emoji in return of our shares.

I only follow people if they write content I find interesting or...if the personality matches with mine (especially their humor or the lack of it)
But in this particular post I can only hope the girl is a fan of the "follow me to follow you" principle because...I will follow her 😉😂
!LOLZ

I never had a goal to reach more and more followers but yes I feel good when someone follows me and i stalked to that person who follows me. Within 40 day's i can only make 23 followers Ain't!! Bad 😉
But congratulations to you on reaching a mile stone 💫

Congrats on reaching 1000 followers! Nope, I haven't done follow for follow although I know it is practiced, as are other methods to inflate your follower numbers.

I agree, quality comments are a much better indicator of someone who is interested in the content and takes the time to comment more than a few words. Unfortunately, I feel this won't be a good enough indicator for a long time. I imagine pretty soon there will be some ChatGPT-like accounts on social media (not necessarily Hive), which will put out great comments with better consistency. And without getting tired of doing it.

I have to admit that I kind of lost track of the "follow" parameter. I would say I spend 30% of my time creating posts and 60% of the time to answer all the comments... Then I try to read a couple of posts per day but it's mostly always the same people... This is far from ideal and I would love to have more time to grow the follower list and interact with them....

I also finish all my work first and then open something else. If I take up something else first, then time is wasted and the work here cannot be completed. Starting tomorrow I'm starting a new post where I'll tell you what I've been up to all day.

Hmm if I follow someone, I don't expect the person to follow me. Haha.
But if someone follows me, I will follow back out of courtesy.

!LUV

Followers oh how that has changed over the years.

My problem with following someone is that I want to engage on their posts, these people that follow thousands of people can't engage!

I have lost my way on Hive, I would normally have a way I would do activities, but often I can get on Hive and engage and totally forget I was on there to write a post.

So people write first then engage, or write and don't engage.

My followers list I try to keep to what I can manage and at least visit.

Follow me follow you, it's not twitter here, so I don't blindly follow back anymore.

The notion of follow for follow is annoying lol. It’s better to only follow who you’re actually going to engage with in my opinion! I have a lot of people that post here in the rant community but I don’t know if I would follow them outside of it. Doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy their content in the community though!

Congrats on hitting 1k! I did that sometime recently as well but sadly the engagement hasn’t gone up considerably which is sad but that happens hahaha. Good to be present though and get to what we can for content!
