Okay, so 😁… about two or three months ago, I had this "brilliant" idea. I decided to make my own Hive community, this one. Sounds mysterious, mix of "zagonetka" and "astronauts". I was so proud of this idea. Aaaand I posted twice. And then... absolutely nothing. Silence. The kind of silence where even crickets are like, "A-a, nah, we're not staying here, bye bye".
The truth is, I never really developed the whoe idea. Or maybe it just wasn't that great in the first place. Who knows. My plan was to make a fun corner for riddles, logical questions, brain teasers, small mysteries and that kind of playful thinking stuff. I've always loved that. Back in the old forum days, I used to join those games all the time, both to guess and to post. So I thought, why not bring that same spirit to Hive? People like to think, right? Or maybe they just didn't find my two lonely posts inspiring enough to join. Which, honestly, I can't even blame anyone for. (I know it's the second one)
To be completely honest, I started the whole thing mostly because I wanted to check another point on the hive buzz tour. You know that little list of challenges? It's addictive. You feel like you're leveling up in some strange internet game. "Create a community" it said, and I was like "Of course I will". And I did. And then I disappeared. Mission accomplished. NOT! xD
From that day until literally today, I completely forgot that Zagonauts even exist. Which already says a lot about how strong the idea really was. If even the creator forgets about it… yeah... Anyway, today I somehow remembered it and decided to visit. And there it was, still existing, sitting there like a half-inflated balloon after a birthday party, ready to be thrown in the trash.
Now I'm wondering what do I do with it? Should I just leave it empty, pretending it's a minimalist art project or should I actually try to make something out of it?
That's the riddle of today's day.
Maybe it can become something else. The good news is, it's small enough that nobody will complain if I completely change direction. The bad news is, I have absolutely no clue what direction that should be.
It kind of feels like when you buy a fancy notebook, write two pages of deep thoughts and then forget it in a drawer for next six months. But you can't throw it away because you might continue one day. Zagonauts is basically that notebook, and my drawer is already full of them.
Hive already has so many amazing communities. You name it, it exists. Art, photography, food, travel, writing, pets, philosophy, memes, crypto… everything! So what am I even doing here, trying to invent something new in 2025? It's like showing up late to a party where everyone already has their group and the snacks are almost gone. 🍿
Still, a small part of me thinks that maybe, with some effort, something could grow from it. Like a little green plant pushing through the concrete. Maybe if I just post from time to time, something will eventually happen. But what to post... hm.
The problem is, I have no idea how to design that kind of space. I can't even decide what to eat for lunch most days, phah. So that's why I am now sharing my confusion with you, dear frienss. Maybe some of you have a good idea. Maybe a silly one. Actually, I prefer silly ones. :D
And while we're at it, here's a riddle for you: What happens to an idea when nobody remembers it?
