It’s great to be cautious of new brands! You should know who/what you’re supporting. Just a quick reminder to clear up any confusion:
🚫 Tr*mp and Tate are banned. White supremacists are also deleted, no warning.
🚫 Zero tolerance for bigotry and hate.
✨ Have fun posting!🌈
1,000,000 Besties and the number keeps climbing! 🫶🌈🔥Thank 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! 🥹🐝💛
Quick Note 📝 You can post social media links and your LinkTree on your Hive account. 🤗🐝💛🌈
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 😭
Server is down since we had 40k+ sign ups at once, once things are fixed it’ll be available. Usernames aren’t taken just server issue since we didn’t expect high traffic today, 350% increase 💛🐝
(Most recent review on the App Store)
We’re making them mad so we must be doing something right. Stay mad, and off Hive 🤭💛🐝
Yes it’s a safe space for everyone to have a good time 🥲🫶🏼
Hi everyone!🐝
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
👀 We might be shadowbanned on here but at least we’re not being banned from the App Store. Update coming this week!🤪🐝💛🌈
A *few* new things:
▪️Content moderation API
▪️Performance enhancements (faster loading, no crashes)
▪️Gallery 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!
What’s new:
▪️ Security fixes
▪️ Increase loading speed
▪️ Reduce memory usage
So glad to have you all back besties!🐝🫶🌈💛
Our new beta is OUT and tested! 🥳🙌 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. 🐛 After this, our servers will remain up and we will roll out weekly updates!💛🐝🌈
Y’all we didn’t expect this volume of traffic😯 We gained 130,00 users overnight. We’re working on getting the servers back up. Thank you for all the love, we appreciate you guys! We’ll post as soon as we’re 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 weren’t expecting 60k people joining in such a short amount of time today 😭💛🐝
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 aren’t properly tagged. 🫶🐝🌈💛
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 we’ll continue to build on that 💛🫶🏼🐝
Hi everyone! Just wanted to clarify we use “!💛” 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.🐝💛
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 💛🫶🏼🐝
Yes! We’ve developed a system already to differentiate the duplicate usernames (which happened during our server crash last week, sorry🥲).
There will also be a verification process implemented as well! Approval time for our submission may vary with the holiday 🫶🐝🌈💛
questions for
@TheHIVE_Social
that are very important to me- will @‘s 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 “…” at the top right of a persons post or profile. We tend to delete them pretty quick!🤗
Hi besties! 🐝 We’ve been seeing some comments that we’re back online so we just wanted to clarify that we’re not back yet and are still working on the server! 🫶🌈💛
Twitter recently leaking personal information of 5.4 Million accounts: 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
Us announcing we’re shutting down the server as a preventative measure and no accounts compromised:
The amount of insightful comments to improve accessibility is amazing 💛 We already learned so much. We will integrate as much as we possibly can by importance and scope! 🫶🏼🐝
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!!!!🥹🫶🐝🌈
Even tho you crashed our servers 😗
Hive is still
#1
!!! I’m not joking when I say I’m screenshotting and framing all this 🥲💛🐝 These are such important moments for me that I’ve only dreamed of so for it to be reality is just.. my heart bursts 🥺
Happy New Year, Hive Besties! 🐝💛We’ve got intense updates rolling out weekly- old and new bugs being fixed, and features being live again (Looking at you, DM’s and Music👀). A new update will be available at the end of this week. Thank you all for continuing to support us!🥳
App is still down besties but we’re reviewing analytics to see where the most usage is and come up with a solution! Thank you so much for your patience!🥺🐝💛

There’s 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. 🐝💛
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 🫡
We’re not owned by tech bros, our UX is accessible so you don’t 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 💛🐝
Tr*nsphobic posts and the accounts posting them would be deleted immediately. No warning, zero tolerance for bigotry and hate on Hive. That’s not the community we want to maintain, we would rather our users be safe and have fun posting without worrying about that!🐝🫶🌈💛
@TheHIVE_Social
What is your stance on hate against trans people?
Specifically asking about “Gender critical” type posts.
My town has been negatively affected by people who have organized on here that have spread hate towards trans people. It’s a big problem.
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.
We’re actually looking to add another software developer if you know anyone who’s looking 🫡🐝💛🌈
@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! We’ve been working overtime on this and are super excited for you all to try it!🐝😃
For users that get a grey screen when launching the app, what phone model and software version do you have? 🧐 Planning to include a fix in this weeks update and want to make sure it resolves the issue for those experiencing it! 🐝🫶🌈💛
Once we’re live on the App Store you’ll be able update your app, sign in as normal and enjoy the new update! 🥹🐝🌈🫶 Google Play Store is still in review! 🔥💛
To view NSFW you must manually turn it on in settings! Anyone under 18 will not have the toggle and won’t be able to view inappropriate content for their safety 💛
