News

It's almost two years ago that I started the topcomment@topcomment curation service. It's cool to see how much we it has grown over the time. The graph from hivepulse.app@hivepulse.app shows a nice and steady growth.
At the end of 2025 we lost one large delegator, but soon others picked it up.
Also the team has grown to 8 curators now that share the task of finding and rewarding quality comments.

All time account growth/earnings from @hivepulse.app

It's also cool to see people following our voting trail. You can configure your autovotes in PeakD here: https://peakd.com/me/autovote

We also appreciate adding the topcomment@topcomment account to your autovote accounts. Just follow the instructions below.




And/or you can delegate some stake to topcomment@topcomment
50HP - 100HP - 250HP - 500HP - 750HP - 1000HP - 1500HP

We will continue to use our stake to rewards quality engagement on Hive!

Keep in engaging!

What is Topcomment?

The Topcomment curation service rewards meaningful and engaging comments on the Hive platform. It is manually curated by @topcomment to prevent abuse.
Comments that show effort, substantively engage with the content are eligible for upvotes. The initiative relies on nominations, where users can mention @topcomment to suggest quality comments.

Thanks everyone for engaging!

If you want to have a mention when you are on this list or want to be mentioned in every weekly update post from topcomment@topcomment, just let me know in the comment section!

Which comments can get upvotes and which don't?

Which comments are eligible for upvotes and which are not?
Not all nominated comments will receive an upvote from Topcomment. While the concept of "quality" is subjective, there are a few key factors I consider when deciding whether to upvote a comment. Additionally, there are certain reasons why even a well-written comment might not be upvoted.

Here are the current guidelines:

Do's

1. Put effort in the comment
Be sure you have put some effort in creating a longer comment. There is no exact number, but a comment that is just a few words long won't get upvoted.

2. React to the content of the blog
The comment should be a thoughtful response to the blog post. It must engage with the content and provide meaningful interaction with the author’s ideas. It shouldn't be a reply telling your own story.

No upvotes for

1. Comments with hate speech, racism, conspiracy theories or other negative reactions
I strive to keep the community positive. Comments promoting hatred, racism, or conspiracy theories will not be upvoted.

2. Comments from users with Hivewatchers downvotes
I do not want to support scammers or fraudulent activity. If a user has been downvoted by Hivewatchers, I will not upvote their comment.

3. AI-generated comments
These comments will not receive upvotes, as they are not authentic human interactions.

4. Comments that already have significant rewards
If a comment has already received a substantial reward, I will skip the upvote. The same applies to comments that are part of the commentrewarder initiative.

5. Giveaways or contest entries
There are some initiatives asking you to submit your entry in the comments. These are excluded from Topcomment upvotes.

6. Commenting on own blogs
Comments from bloggers on their own blog will not be upvoted. It is only natural that you respond to comments on your own blog.

Supporting Topcomment

You can support Topcomment in several ways. For instance by upvoting and reblogging this weekly curation post.

You can also delegate HP and/or follow our Curation Trail.
Check out the following blog for instructions on how to do that.
@topcomment/support-topcomment

Support Topcomment with Delegations

The more delegations Topcomment gets, the higher the rewards we can give away!
And you profit from the delegation as well since we return 80% of the curation rewards to the delegator.
The rewards are sent in the form of liquid Hive on a daily basis. So, supporting Topcomment with a delegation can be really beneficial for you.

You can use the delegation tool to delegate an amount of your choice or select one of the predefined amounts below.


50HP - 100HP - 250HP - 500HP - 750HP - 1000HP - 1500HP

Or you could use the delegation option in the wallet of your favorite front-end. An example of how this works in PeakD is shown below:

Follow the Curation Trail

If you don't want to delegate you can also choose to following the Topcomment voting trail via Hive.Vote.
This way you do support the project and the commenters, but you'll receive the curation rewards yourself. In Hive.Vote you can configure a percentage for the votes.
https://hive.vote/dash.php?trail=topcomment&i=1

Upvote and Reblog

You could help the topcomment@topcomment project by upvoting and reblogging this post. The more people know about this initiative, the more it will stimulate engagement on Hive ❤️
The post rewards will be used to support the project!
