We have had several brainstorming sessions on this exact subject lately. This idea of trusted on boarders keeps coming up. A type of vouching system, that anyone onboarded by a vouched/trusted onboarder, then anyone they onboard gets support for the start of their hive journey. An idea of gamifying and rewarding actions, actions designed to slowly learn more and more about the blockchain. Ie. If join a community and make a post in it, you are rewarded a bit for the action, or if you go vote witnesses and show it..get rewarded. The key is these folks were onboarded by vouched onboarders.
And i think the Talent Land guys just made an account called @pioneersupporter …my understanding is that it is going to follow and reblog any post created by someone onboarded at talent land. Allowing people to just follow that account and be able to see and support any rebloged post, because they are known new users onboarded at talent land.
It feels the time to make a big push.
Several of us are getting together in June for Hive Hub Guatemala. Which will be an ongoing, in person onboarding operation.
If enough of us all start pushing in our own ways, and all support each other… i think we have a real chance to catch a bull wave, and be better prepared for retention!
Apis is another great new onboarding initiative!
