Itโs great to be cautious of new brands! You should know who/what youโre supporting. Just a quick reminder to clear up any confusion:
๐ซ Tr*mp and Tate are banned. White supremacists are also deleted, no warning.
๐ซ Zero tolerance for bigotry and hate.
โจ Have fun posting!๐
1,000,000 Besties and the number keeps climbing! ๐ซถ๐๐ฅThank you to everyone who has followed us, joined, shared their Hive posts and profiles, invested in our WeFunder, and overall just given us such an incredible amount of support! ๐ฅน๐๐
Quick Note ๐ You can post social media links and your LinkTree on your Hive account. ๐ค๐๐๐
Our Guidelines can be found here:
And our Privacy Policy is here:
Spread the word if you see a friend frustrated thinking all usernames are taken ๐ญ
Server is down since we had 40k+ sign ups at once, once things are fixed itโll be available. Usernames arenโt taken just server issue since we didnโt expect high traffic today, 350% increase ๐๐
(Most recent review on the App Store)
Weโre making them mad so we must be doing something right. Stay mad, and off Hive ๐คญ๐๐
Yes itโs a safe space for everyone to have a good time ๐ฅฒ๐ซถ๐ผ
Hi everyone!๐
The Hive team has become aware of security issues that affect the stability of our application and the safety of our users. Fixing these issues will require temporarily turning off our servers for a couple of days while we fix this for a better and safer experience
๐ We might be shadowbanned on here but at least weโre not being banned from the App Store. Update coming this week!๐คช๐๐๐
A *few* new things:
โช๏ธContent moderation API
โช๏ธPerformance enhancements (faster loading, no crashes)
โช๏ธGallery permission fix for Androids
Our servers are back up, new app update is out for iOS, and our Android version is currently in review on the Google Play Store!
Whatโs new:
โช๏ธ Security fixes
โช๏ธ Increase loading speed
โช๏ธ Reduce memory usage
So glad to have you all back besties!๐๐ซถ๐๐
Our new beta is OUT and tested! ๐ฅณ๐ Security issues have been resolved and we have a few front end bugs left to work out, so we need just a few more days to make it perfect. ๐ After this, our servers will remain up and we will roll out weekly updates!๐๐๐
Yโall we didnโt expect this volume of traffic๐ฏ We gained 130,00 users overnight. Weโre working on getting the servers back up. Thank you for all the love, we appreciate you guys! Weโll post as soon as weโre back.
Yes! We both put in endless hours, tons of all nighters, for the last two years to make Hive super high quality in usability, features, and design. We apologize for the server issue, we werenโt expecting 60k people joining in such a short amount of time today ๐ญ๐๐
Us waiting patiently (impatiently) for the App Store and Google Play Store to change โIn Reviewโ to โApprovedโ and be released tonight ๐๐๐โจ

As a reminder, NSFW posts not properly tagged as NSFW will be deleted. A content moderation API is being implemented to filter out posts from Discover that arenโt properly tagged. ๐ซถ๐๐๐
Please use the tools we provide to make Hive a safe place for everyone! We mindfully added our features so you have control over your experience and weโll continue to build on that ๐๐ซถ๐ผ๐
Hi everyone! Just wanted to clarify we use โ!๐โ when responding to create a more friendly conversation between us. We apologize if our use of that came off differently than intended. We care about our users and want a positive environment.๐๐
If youโre trying to create an account weโre working on the server issue, donโt worry the username youโre trying to get should still be available ๐๐
Some of our priorities:
Squash all reported bugs, improve Android performance, add more accessibility features, improve our search bar and threads to be more efficient and impactful so you can find and create content easier ๐๐ซถ๐ผ๐
Yes! Weโve developed a system already to differentiate the duplicate usernames (which happened during our server crash last week, sorry๐ฅฒ).
There will also be a verification process implemented as well! Approval time for our submission may vary with the holiday ๐ซถ๐๐๐
questions for
@TheHIVE_Social
that are very important to me- will @โs be made exclusive user to user
and will there be a verification process for notable creators that are prone to being impersonated
And please remember you can always report posts/comments by tapping the โโฆโ at the top right of a persons post or profile. We tend to delete them pretty quick!๐ค
Hi besties! ๐ Weโve been seeing some comments that weโre back online so we just wanted to clarify that weโre not back yet and are still working on the server! ๐ซถ๐๐
Twitter recently leaking personal information of 5.4 Million accounts: ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Us announcing weโre shutting down the server as a preventative measure and no accounts compromised:
The amount of insightful comments to improve accessibility is amazing ๐ We already learned so much. We will integrate as much as we possibly can by importance and scope! ๐ซถ๐ผ๐
JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO JOINED BECAUSE WE GAINED OVER 30,000 NEW BESTIES TONIGHT, WE LOVE YOU SM AND THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!!!!๐ฅน๐ซถ๐๐
Even tho you crashed our servers ๐
And thatโs why we banned
@libsoftiktok
when they tried joining Hive and DMโd requesting the username because someone else took it. ๐ค๐๐ฉท๐
Hive is still
#1
!!! Iโm not joking when I say Iโm screenshotting and framing all this ๐ฅฒ๐๐ These are such important moments for me that Iโve only dreamed of so for it to be reality is just.. my heart bursts ๐ฅบ
Happy New Year, Hive Besties! ๐๐Weโve got intense updates rolling out weekly- old and new bugs being fixed, and features being live again (Looking at you, DMโs and Music๐). A new update will be available at the end of this week. Thank you all for continuing to support us!๐ฅณ
App is still down besties but weโre reviewing analytics to see where the most usage is and come up with a solution! Thank you so much for your patience!๐ฅบ๐๐

@miiriya1
We think we can help with the server side of things with some of our contacts (and possibly funding, have an idea ๐ก). DMโd you! ๐๐
Forbes wrote about us? ๐ฅด๐ฑ Whoa we woke up to that, almost 30K on here, and almost 900K besties on Hive. Trying to catch up on replies/DMโs now!๐๐๐
A new build has been submitted to both the iOS and Google Play Store. Itโs much faster and smoother and no more NSFW pops up on Discover. Canโt wait for you all to get the update!!!๐ฅณ๐๐๐

Weโll be making a separate post with a list of release specs so you all know exactly what weโve been working on. Thank you so much for supporting us!๐ซถ๐
Thereโs too much for us to write without getting too sappy, just know we love the Hive community immensely and are so grateful for each and every one of you. ๐๐
idk why it wont let me set my pfp and cover, but if you're trying out hive
@TheHIVE_Social
, I'm giving it a try and taking my stan acc there too, still @.stanJungs :)
Why you should join Hive ๐ซก
Weโre not owned by tech bros, our UX is accessible so you donโt have to join weird individual servers like others, and we bring some of the best parts of social media into one hybrid app. From profile music to text/image/gif posts ๐๐
A Hive browser/web version is coming however we also need the resources to be able to do it and give an exact launch date. Until then, we are limited by being a 3 person team.
Weโre actually looking to add another software developer if you know anyone whoโs looking ๐ซก๐๐๐
Tr*nsphobic posts and the accounts posting them would be deleted immediately. No warning, zero tolerance for bigotry and hate on Hive. Thatโs not the community we want to maintain, we would rather our users be safe and have fun posting without worrying about that!๐๐ซถ๐๐
I need a better user name๐ฅ๐นโฟ๏ธ๐๐๐
@TheHIVE_Social
What is your stance on hate against trans people?
Specifically asking about โGender criticalโ type posts.
My town has been negatively affected by people who have organized on here that have spread hate towards trans people. Itโs a big problem.
@GravDoesThings
@PyMadd
Both the update and servers being back up will happen at the same time this week; this will bring an even better experience for users! Weโve been working overtime on this and are super excited for you all to try it!๐๐
Besties just a reminder Tr*mp and Tate are banned from our platform. ๐จ To keep the community safe you can always report posts and/or profiles! ๐๐ซถ๐๐
Once weโre live on the App Store youโll be able update your app, sign in as normal and enjoy the new update! ๐ฅน๐๐๐ซถ Google Play Store is still in review! ๐ฅ๐
For users that get a grey screen when launching the app, what phone model and software version do you have? ๐ง Planning to include a fix in this weeks update and want to make sure it resolves the issue for those experiencing it! ๐๐ซถ๐๐
@raquelbyrnes
Weโre not back yet but soon! There will also be an actual app update (already submitted) as well in addition to server improvements.๐๐
To view NSFW you must manually turn it on in settings! Anyone under 18 will not have the toggle and wonโt be able to view inappropriate content for their safety ๐
