Which applications are being used to enter posts and comments to the Hive blockchain?

The data range is from the 19th November 2020 to 19th January 2021.

Posts

Also known as top level comments or comments at depth 0.

Comparing to a similar post peakd / hive.blog back in May 2020 (referencing data from the birthdate of Hive), the big 2 have lost 11% of their share, with the likes of ecency, leofinance, and dbuzz arriving on the scene or growing in size.

New entries of note include dapplr, exhaust-beta, and stemgeeks.

The chart above show the daily post counts of the top 8. Peakd has distanced itself from hive.blog as the most popular interface, but both seems to follow the same trend.

Without the top 2 interfaces included, it is easier to spot the rise of leofinance and even more so, ecency - the latter topping 300 posts in a day recently.


Comments

Also known as replies.

Previously (links above), the top two controlled 62% of the share of comments been produced on Hive, and this fallen to 47% in recent months.

Again, leofinance and ecency have gathered the most ground but likely due to different reasons - token price / mobile application.

null makes an appearance (need json) and waivio still look to be producing a lot of automated comments (?).

dbuzz, engage, and dapplr are notable new entries.

Again, peakd and hive.blog tend to follow each other closely on numbers. Waivio has the odd busy day (looks automated) and null has produced a suspicious looking spike lately.

The chart above, without the big two, shows more clearly the likely automation from waivio, and interfaces/code without a json value set for 'app' (null).


The above charts are a bit disappointing to me - I was hoping to show where the human posts/comments were being made, and so I've stepped out to the monthly charts (since 20th March 2020 - Hive's birthdate) to see if that helps...

Posts

More of an arbitrary selection of applications here but the chart below does show the fall in posts from the big two - without any that I've chosen to display picking up the slack...

And without the big two, a clearer indication of less actifit posts, a rise in posts from leofinance, and a sharp initial rise in posts from ecency (perhaps people moving from esteem).

Comments

As with Post counts, the big two has dropped off, but it's more noticeable which apps have picked up the slack.

And even more so when the top two are removed.


ecency and leofinance have shown solid growth in application use with regards to commentary/engagement over the past couple of months, but I'm not sure the reasons for the growth of these apps is the same. Token price V mobile accessibility?

Not my favourite charty post, took far too long as well.

Cheers
