Hive Social: Twitter Alternative Sees Huge Surge In Popularity As People Look To Flee Elon Musk’s Social Network
1. Create an account.
2. Choose a display and username.
3. Users can also select a series of topics they're interested in, which helps populate the "discover" section of the app mentioned above.
Currently I've selected sport, tech, video games, anime and a bunch of other stuff. That what populates the top of the discover area, but when I scroll further content from other topics also appears.
Anything to be worried about?
Hmmm, well it's probably important to be warned that Hive is very much a smaller service run by a far smaller team than what you might be used to with Twitter or Instagram.
I noticed typos on verification emails and messages for example. That felt weird.
Also, the identities of the folks who built Hive are yet to be revealed.
Hive's About Us refers to a founder called "Raluca" who was "tired of the restrictions she faced on social platforms in which her posts were not seen by many friends and felt the pressures of complicated algorithms." That's all we've got at this point.
In short, a very small team is working on Hive. On Monday, Hive hit 1 million users, so it's very much a service in its infancy. Expect a fair bit of jank.
