The End of an Era: The Hive Engagement League Ends - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, July 4, 2023
This image comes from Asher's last Hive Engagement League post.
Warm greetings all! π π π β¨ π€
Today I learned that Asher (@abh12345) would not be continuing the Hive Engagement League moving forward, and that last week's iteration was actually the last one. This truly is the end of an era, as Asher has been hosting the EL for about 4.5 years, so even before the Hard Fork from Steem.
This is a screenshot from Asher's very short and to-the-point post. If you'd like to read it for yourself, you may here.
I learned about the Hive Engagement League from my Hive friend Jackie - @littlebee4, and at that time engaging at that level was still only a dream. I first appeared in the top ten of the Hive Engagement League on November 28, 2023, in the #10 spot. I was in the top ten, and usually in the top five, of the EL for seven months straight. In the very last EL post from June 26, 2023, I was in the #1 spot, so I was the last at the top. Wow.
This is a screenshot from the last EL post, from eight days ago. I was the last individual in the #1 spot! If you'd like to see the post for yourself, you may here. I should mention that my friend @treefrognada blows me away in terms of engagement when she gives that her focus, as she demonstrated well multiple times. I could say the same about dear @littlebee4. I'm just a consistent bugger who can devote a lot of time to Hive!
In the period of less than a year, my Hive engagement jumped up dramatically, and it stayed there. As many of you might have noticed, I tend to be very consistent, so once I get the feel for something, generally I have it pretty solid. It was the same way with learning to engage on Hive at the level that I do now. That's just how it is from now on, unless I change it. I've grown so much in the process, and I'm so grateful to have been a part of the EL for the time I was.
Asher, I want to thank you so very much again for running the Hive Engagement League for so long, and for everything that you contributed to it! I was only in it for seven months, but man am I going to miss it!
All screenshots were taken with my Motorola G Power Android Phone.
Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! πππβ¨π€

@barski, sorry! You need more $ALIVE staked to use this command.
The minimum requirement is 1000.0 ALIVE staked (non-delegated stake plus incoming delegations).
More $ALIVE is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex, plus you can win Alive Power delegations in our daily chat on @alive.chat every day.
Are you getting time travel involved again? π π π β¨ π€
It is not at all necessary to travel in time, it is enough to be skeptical about the spontaneous decisions of a person who has invested a lot of his time in business. It cannot be ruled out that he will simply get bored and want to resume this initiative if the place at that time turns out to be vacant :)

It would be cool if something else appeared. Thank you so much for that, Jackie! You were a big inspiration to me! Now that I operate with this level of engagement, there's no going back! Have a beautiful night! π π π β¨ π€

You're most welcome, of course! Thank you, Jackie! May your evening be excellent! π π π β¨ π€
That sounds lovely, thank you! I hope that yours has been sweet! π π π β¨ π€
I can imagine⦠how warm is it at yours now during the height of the day?
Thanks a lot. It has been. Enjoy your day Tydyn ππ»πβοΈπΊπ
!PIZZA
How arm is it? Perhaps arm=hot? If that is the case, then thankfully it rarely gets too hot or too cold here. The temperatures are comfortable most of the time. Right now it's probably in the upper 70s to low 80s (sorry, I know you're used to Celsius), with a lovely breeze.
You're always very welcome, Jackie, of course! Yay! I'm happy to hear that! Thank you! May your night be nifty! π π π β¨ π€
!PIZZA
Hahaha I wrote warm but somehow the w was missed. !LOL I changed it⦠but not in time I guess.
Thatβs great to hear. Not too hot or too cold. Sounds lovely.
Thanks a lot Tydyn ππ»π you are welcome.
Hehe...I should have thought of 'warm'. Doh! It's funny how many things I miss like that as I type. All good! We find our way through the typo forest!
Yes, I love the climate here! Lots of plants do too, as we can grow so much here!
Most certainly Jackie, you're so very welcome! π π π β¨ π€
Hahaha π€£ no worries π
We are buzzy buzzy π
With those temps all year, I can imagine you can grow a lot.
Thanks. Lot Tydyn.
Happy Thursday, hope you are sleeping deeply π΄π΄π΄
Hehe...that we most certainly are! Every day!
Yep, the temperature variation between Summer and Winter is not that great, and is quite pleasant most of the time. It sometimes gets a little hot or chilly, but that is not the norm. Cold-adapted plants and those that prefer drier climates don't do well here without special conditions.
Absolutely, you're always very welcome, Jackie! Thank you! I slept a looooonnngggg time last night. I hope that you have a gorgeous night, with lots of sleep! π π π β¨ π€
Every day indeed.
In Ireland it seems to be a very temperate climate. Very mild winters and summers.
You could grow a lot too. If it wasnβt very windy and wet all the time.
Itβs pretty cool to see the differences all over the world.
Canβt wait to have a garden and try to grow our food.
Thank you so much Tydyn, you are welcome ππ»π thatβs great to hear.
Much appreciated have a wonderful Thursday, enjoy!

We keep Hive buzzing!
Yes, that's what I thought about the climate there, as I know of a lot of interesting plants that can be grown there. Hehe...yeah, each location does seem to have its limiting factors for plants.
I love seeing the variations in climate and plants across the world. I've experienced quite a good diversity. I hope that for you very soon, too! I can't wait to see your garden posts!
Of course, Jackie, you're so very welcome! Thank you! May your Friday be fantabulous! π π π β¨ π€

I love figuring it all out and trying things. So it sure will be fun once I start a garden.
Yes, me too.
Thanks a lot Tydyn.
Happy Friday my friend. That you may have a wonderful day. Almost weekend ππ
!PIZZA
So much! I think you and I alone are two hives of buzzy bees!
Indeed, very true, and I also very much love the exploration and discovery process of finding what plants work where! It's so much fun!
You're super welcome, Jackie, of course! Thank you so much! I hope that your Friday and weekend are gloriously beautiful and fun! ππ π β¨ π€
Yes, you are right there ππ
Another day closer to getting a garden hahaha
We just arrived at our Airbnb for the next 4 days. So been driving all day.
Now relaxing. Figuring out where to go for dinner and a little catch up here. π
Thank you so much Tydyn
You are welcome.
Will do my best to make it great.
Good morning to you. Enjoy your day ππ»πβοΈπΊπ
Bzzzzzzzzzzz! ππππππ
Yay for greater garden proximity! I hope that you enjoy your time at the Airbnb and in the area! Sounds lovely!
Most certainly Jackie, you're so very welcome! Yes to a great day and weekend! Thank you! May your evening be sweet and satisfying! π π π β¨ π€
So far itβs lovely here. We walked a lot. Today we did 11,7 km
Thank you so much Tydyn hope you had a lovely Saturday and have a great start of today!
Have fun and make it count ππ»π

Thank you, Erik! Yes, that's true. I'm a little sad, but no worries. Life, and Hive, is change. That would be lovely if it happened. I know lots of people loved being a part of it. π π π β¨ π€
Well.. it might not be the same amount of amazing detail as the EL, but I still see your ridiculous activity on the Discover page of ecency.com... which you and @littlebee4 is always near the top of. This last week I was getting pretty good and thought it would be cool to see how I fare on the EL... now its gone... that's a shame.
Itβs a shame you couldnβt see how you did in the EL for longer.
But the discovery page of @ecency does give you an idea.
You will get up there, once better againβ¦ as I know you were upping your game π
Hahaha, so you noticed?
Yep, of course I did ππ
π€£π€£π€£π€£ I was sick today. But I am slowly creeping up the weekly and monthly charts too.
Daily today... not so much.
Good⦠keep going. But still rest and recover.
I have rested significantly and will now hit the grind again. I am off today but I hope to be a little productive on Hive. Let's see what I can do...
Good to hear you rested.
Letβs see how it goes. Have fun π€© but no over doingβ¦ π
Haha! I will see what I can do!
Goodβ¦ nice and steady π€
Indeed. I am something like 7th on the Daily now... that's around 60 activities. Yeah I am not going crazy or anything. Just more or less regular activity, but more of it!
I see you are climbing up π
Thatβs good, once you are used to itβ¦ it is consistency that works.
Indeed. I will try!
Perfect ππ»ππ
I have much to do!
Funny funnyβ¦
Buzzy buzzy times. ππππ
Good morning again. Time to do it all again on a Friday!
Good evening @zakludick ππ»π
I was out all day, very noticeable hehehe π€
Have a great evening!
Indeed! I did not go all out, been a bit busy at home today.
But I think I kept up an OK average.
Busy at home is still busy π
You surely did⦠I just checked. Keep going!
Good night π΄
Naw. Just a little bit.
Just enough to keep me relevant on the list.
Okβ¦ good a little bit. You still had some time for hive and are on the list π
Bed time here now. Tomorrow we drive further⦠leave the family⦠so will be on the road most of the day.
Good night π΄
Good night!
Thanks ππ»π΄
Yep, that's true, we still have the Ecency leaderboard! That's where I first noticed my increased engagement many months ago. I don't check it much lately, but I love knowing that I'm still near the top. Jackie and I are buzzy little Hive bees, pollinating many Blockchain flowers! That's excellent to hear that you've been upping your game in engagement! Keep going! Yeah, I'm a little sad to see it go. I'm hoping that someone else has the interest in picking it up to continue. π π π β¨ π€
I hope so too!
I will see what I can do to keep breaching into the top 10 at least from time to time!
May it be so! What I noticed with me is that I increased my engagement in steps. I'd add a little bit more, stabilize at that new level, the add a little more, stabilize again, then...on and on! I know you can do it! π π π β¨ π€
I shall do my best! Thanks @tydynrain
That's all anyone could ask! Enjoy it and have fun with it! If you think of it too much like work, you'll lose motivation. Absolutely, you're so very welcome @zakludick! π π π β¨ π€
Cheers! Have a great day out there!
Cheers, brother! Thank you! I wish you a glorious Thursday! π π π β¨ π€
Cheers man! My Thursday is in the later evening now. One more day of sick leave, then the weekend. I need to be 100% better by Monday!
I hope that you have a beautiful night, then, and that your health rebounds in full quickly! π π π β¨ π€
Thanks! Cheers!
Now time for life in Friday mode!
Sure thing, brother, you're most welcome! Cheers! Enjoy your Friday and weekend! π π π β¨ π€
Cheers! Thank you!
Cheers! You're so very welcome, absolutely! π π π β¨ π€
