My Impression is that indeed there is less activity here on Hive compared to 1-2 years ago. There used to be of course much more Splinterlands posts but also more posts about $HIVE itself. You can also see the decreasing active userbase in the monthly stats by @arcange.

I am still here since I love the chain, the blogging, the interaction with my community here and stacking HP to climb up the ladder.

Hive on!
