I would give it a couple of days

Problem with Hive is the first 24 hours is where the majority of your votes will come in (for direct ROI to get my spend back) but yeah for my main goal of building community, that is the long game

action rates even lower

Unfortunately, there is no way to tie the actions I want (community subscription, article read/vote) back to LN as the source, so all I can go on is the CTR I think :)
