Posts and Comments on Hive by Application

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

The data range is from the 21st March 2020 (first full day of Hive) to 1st May 2020.

Posts

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

As you would probably expect, hive.blog and peakd take up the lions share with two thirds of all posts coming from these two applications. The next two, actifit and esteem, are mobile apps, which we likely need more of as time goes on.

investarena (https://investarena.com/) is a new one to my and I'm surprised to see it so high in the list.

I believe steemit is there due to people updating posts originally created on this interface?

The chart above shows the daily count of posts produced by the more popular applications. Interesting to see that following the recent publicity/price move that the 'home' application hive.blog overtook peakd on the daily count.

esteem is doing best of the rest and has steadily risen over the past 6 weeks or so.

Comments

Also known as replies.

peakd and hive.blog still lead the way but have less of a market share when compared to posts. esteem is doing pretty well as the dominant mobile app. A null application source could well be automated comments, waivio comments look automated too.

Discord - you can comment from Discord?

Somewhat outside of the overall trend, the comments from a null (automated?) application source are on the rise, as well as those from esteem.

Small plug for Hive account@dapplr, a mobile application under development that looks rather nice: @dapplr/dapplr-first-design-based-app-being-built-on-hive

Have a nice weekend all,
