Right now, I'm enjoying blogging again, but engagement is very minimal at this time

I remember you supporting my film and gaming posts back when I was still relatively new to the old place. I always really appreciated it and it certainly helped me push forward and maintain my presence on the network. I noticed that you had slowly moved back from it all, especially when reading those posts about how you felt about the network's technicals, so I'm really happy to see that you're enjoying writing again, especially now that I'm capable of giving something back.

engagement is very minimal at this time

Going back to this, I actually noticed engagement decrease for me once the communities rolled out. It seems few go through tags now and most stick to the communities they're in or search for content through them rather than tags. I've been trying to combat this a bit more lately by going through the tags as I usually would and curating, rather than just going to specific communities.

With the split, it's definitely a little bit quieter around here, but things are still quite early, though I have seen a slight increase in people curating. Then again, Hive Keychain (from what I know of) still isn't available to install with a simple click, so I'm sure some are still cast out a bit.

Also can't forget the pandemic going on at the same time, and I'm sure for some they're more interested in being with family or spending those 16~ hours a day on games, haha.

I'd like to see the complete and radical overhaul I have been calling for for the last few years.

I'd like to see a lot of change, too. One thing worth noting is that now we don't have Steemit Inc just acting in their best interest, then the community's. It should be a lot easier to get things heard. I'd be interested in seeing a proposal from you go forward in the future.
