How is Hive doing with Communities these days? Communities are an essential feature of the Hive ecosystem as they allow for easy content discovery and finding specific topics that users are accustomed to. Almost all content is posted in some community that is later used by users to filter content, or by curators to support authors and communities.
If we combine communities with the possibility for easy tokenization, communities’ tokens, and provide tools for users to monetize, things can become very interesting. So far nobody manged to crack the code for this, but its never to late 😊.
There have been some well-established communities on Hive, and some new coming in. Some of the communities already have their token 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 now.
Number of Communities Created
First let’s look at the total number of communities created with time.
We can notice the spike in the number of communities created is quite visible in 2020 when they launched. Afterwards the number dropped and lately there are few communities created per day.
In the last period there have been a few communities created, usually it is below 5 per day.
If we look at the monthly chart, we get this:
More than 300 communities per month as ATH number, while in the last months there are between 20 to 40 communities created per month.
There are now 4.4k communities on Hive.
Top Communities by Number of Subscribers
Who are the top communities on the blockchain?
We will be looking at this with more than one parameter, but for starters let’s take a look at the most obvious one, the number of subscribers.
Here is the chart.
The LeoFinance community is now at the top with 26k subscribers, closely followed by the Photography Lovers and then the GEMS community.
Foodies, Worldmaping and the Gaming community in the top as well.
The subscribers’ numbers to the communities keep growing.
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 with 56M HP. OCD, Worldmaping and Hive Statistics comes next.
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 and comments made in the last 30 days.
The red is the number of posts, while the white is the number of comments.
We can see that LeoFinance, or Inleo as the new brand stands, is at the top here, and by a lot. This is mostly because of the short form content and the blogging happening there. On the second spot is Ecency that also provides a short form content trough waves, and then the Snaps shorts from PeakD.
Some other know communities as Actifit, Worldmappin, Photography Lovers, Splinterlands in the top as well.
Top Communities by Active Authors
What about active authors? Here is the chart for the last 30 days. The MAUs.
These are accounts that have made posts or comments in the community.
InLeo comes on top with 1200 MAUs, followed by Ecency and Actifit. Ecency seems to be having some uptrend in the posting and active accounts.
Between 800 to 1200 MAUs for the top communities.
All the best

Some interesting stats here. Thanks @dalz.
U welcome :)
Great community stats! I am quite pleased to see the Shadow Hunters Community on the list for top number of posts and comments!
Long live the Shadowhunters.
We just keep going!
Cool :)
Celebrating Round 400 this week! 7 years and 8 months of shadows!
With communities such as Inleo taking the lead, it seems that short-form content is connecting effectively with users.
Communities like InLeo, Peakd and Ecency are doing a great job by encouraging and rewarding valuebable content. I hope newly formed communities can emulate them, it will be all for the good of the hive platform. Thanks for the stats.
It’s nice to see how Hive communities are growing and playing such a big role in keeping users engaged. The stats clearly show how active and diverse the ecosystem has become, especially with big names like LeoFinance and Ecency leading the way. It’s great motivation for smaller communities to keep building too.
thats a lot of comms! :P
Interesting stats. I loved to see leofinance and Ecency at the top. Both are my favorite
Interesting stats.
It’s great to see how some of the top ones like LeoFinance and Ecency are still getting more members. Shows that Hive still has a lot of potential for community building and engagement.
