Im a really small account on both Steem and Hive, yet my experience has been the opposite of yours, many of the people I have got to know have also migrated to Hive and as such I'm getting far more attention on Hive than on Steem. Im a small fish, but in a smaller pond, perhaps.

I had lost interest in Steem some time ago, as a small account it was impossible to make progress, Hive (at least feels like) a second chance and so far its more engaging.

Of course "your mileage may vary".
