# Introduction I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something @pennsif used to do as I think it helps bring the community together. Since then I have found lots more people to include. @HiveSQL has been really useful for this and I use Python for my scripts. Some of the post is manual as I like to include some commentary and I will keep tweaking it. I am open to suggestions for improvements. I aim to do a fresh list on the first Saturday of each month. ![Logo by @barge](https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/barge/RuTAIDES-hive-UK.png) I also rely on the community to let me know of more people to include who may not have obvious account metadata. You can find me in the @teamuksupport [Discord](https://discord.gg/ZQK6BFt) to discuss it or drop me a comment. The #teamuk tag has been used to show you are in the UK and was earning extra votes from a bot, but that has not been active lately. Using the tag may still help me to find you, but please contact me if you think you should be on the list. The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad. Inclusion on this list does not mean I recommend people, but I will remove accounts if they are known to be abusing Hive or are falsely reporting their location. I can also remove anyone who asks me to. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry. There is the option to be counted without being tagged on these posts if you want that. The code to produce this post is [on Github](https://github.com/steevc/hivescripts). People are welcome to use it for their own regional version. I can help you with that if necessary. # Previous editions * [January 2026](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-December-2025) - 113 active * [December 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-December-2025) - 119 active * [November 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-November-2025) - 126 active * [October 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-October-2025) - 129 active * [September 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-September-2025) - 141 active * [August 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-August-2025) - 132 active * [July 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-July-2025) - 135 active * [June 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-June-2025) - 143 active * [May 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-May-2025) - 150 active * [April 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-April-2025) - 156 active * [March 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-March-2025) - 150 active * [February 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-February-2025) - 155 active * [January 2025](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-January-2025) - 155 active * [December 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-December-2024) - 148 active * [November 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-November-2024) - 150 active * [October 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-October-2024) - 151 active * [September 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-september-2024) - 160 active * [August 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-august-2024) - 161 active * [July 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-july-2024) - 153 active * [June 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-june-2024) - 152 active * [May 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-may-2024) - 164 active * [April 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-april-2024) - 175 active * [March 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-march-2024) - 168 active * [February 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-february-2024) - 174 active * [January 2024](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-january-2024) - 174 active * [December 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-december-2023) - 165 active * [November 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-november-2023) - 156 active * [October 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-october-2023) - 170 active * [September 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-september-2023) - 178 active * [August 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-august-2023) - 172 active * [July 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-july-2023) - 176 active * [June 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-june-2023) - 187 active * [May 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-may-2023) - 185 active * [April 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-april-2023) - 191 active * [March 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-march-2023) - 221 active * [February 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-february-2023) - 220 active * [January 2023](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-january-2023) - 190 active * [December 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-december-2022) - 205 active * [November 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-november-2022) - 205 active * [October 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-october-2022) - 214 active * [September 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-september-2022) - 213 active * [August 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-august-2022) - 213 active * [July 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-july-2022) - 216 active * [June 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-june-2022) - 231 active * [May 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-may-2022) - 237 active * [April 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-april-2022) - 242 active * [March 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-march-2022) - 247 active * [February 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-february-2022) - 250 active * [January 2022](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-january-2022) - 250 active * [December 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-december-2021) - 235 active * [November 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-november-2021) - 213 active * [October 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-october-2021) - 193 active * [September 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-september-2021) - 190 active * [August 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-august-2021) - 173 active. * [July 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-july-2021) - 184 active. * [June 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-june-2021) - 200 active. * [May 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-may-2021) - 198 active. * [April 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-april-2021) - 158 active. * [March 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-march-2021) - 139 active. * [February 2021](/hive/@steevc/the-brit-list-febrary-2021) - 112 active. * [January 2021](/hive/@steevc/uk-hivians-january-2021) - 106 active. * [December 2020](/hive/@steevc/uk-hivians-december-2020) - 92 active. # What it means The numbers above are for those who had posted or commented in the previous month. In the lists below I break each region into three lists: * Active as above. * Just voting. I will guess that a lot of these use automatic votes, e.g. [HiveVote](https://hive.vote/). Previously there were some that appear to have been compromised as they vote for known abusers. Those are now excluded until I hear that they have recovered control. * Inactive in the last month, but most have done something since Hive started. We can hope to bring them back. I want to count people rather than accounts as some have several. I can include those in brackets if you want. Let me know if you want me to update your listing. You can be as specific as you like about your location. Otherwise I will use what is on your profile or what I am told or can deduce from your posts. # Other Countries I have produced similar lists for the following countries. Active numbers are from the last time I ran them. These have used simpler queries than what I use for the UK, so they are likely to miss people. What it needs is for local communities to take up this work. The data and scripts are all on my Github for anyone to make use of. I can do other lists on demand. * [Australia](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-australia-list-june-2024) * [Brazil](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-brazil-list-january-2025) * [Ghana](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-ghana-list-june-2024) * [Germany](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-germany-list-june-2024) * [India](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-india-list-july-2024) * [Indonesia](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-indonesia-list-june-2024) * [Ireland](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/seeking-the-irish) (2022) * [Italy](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-italy-list-july-2024). @bencwarmer has done a [more comprehensive list](https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@bencwarmer/eng-ita-utenti-hive-italia). * [Japan](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-japan-list-september-2024) * [Netherlands](https://peakd.com/hive-139156/@michelmake/teamnl-january-2024) by @michelmake * [Nigeria](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-nigeria-list-june-2024) * [Poland](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-poland-list-september-2024) * [Portugal](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-portugal-list-june-2024) * [Romania](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-romania-list-june-2024) * [Scandinavia](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-scandinavia-list-june-2024) * [South Africa](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-south-africa-list-june-2024) * [Spain](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-spain-list-june-2024) * [Turkey](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-turkey-list-june-2024) * [Ukraine](https://peakd.com/hive/@steevc/listing-ukrainians) (2022) * UK latest on #BritList * [USA](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@steevc/the-usa-list-december-2025) (2025) # Commentary Happy new year! Hive is into its tenth year and in an 'interesting' place. The price is near the lowest, but we have lots of development going on with new games, utilities and communities springing up. For people in the UK the rewards are not likely to be life-changing, but it can be different elsewhere. In my opinion Hive still matters as it gives us an alternative to the corporate platforms that bombard us with ads and 'targeted' content. Here we have more control and many ways to access the content. If you wanted to you could set up a site that showed posts in different ways as all the data is open. You could even ignore downvotes and reputation so that everything is visible. I do hear people complain that Hive is controlled by a few people, but that is a side-effect of it being so small. Those who got in really early and invested will have a bigger stake and can do what they want, but they cannot stop people posting. I have no real influence on what they do, but I do believe most of them want Hive to grow as their investment would suffer if it does not. I have been involved in fighting abuse a few years back, but stay out of that now to focus on positive actions. I avoid any feuds as that is unhealthy. What happens next is up to us all. You can see that the number of active Brits has been dropping. Some have come back recently, but we are just not bringing in enough new people. We need to build communities that make people want to keep coming back. I was thinking about adding some more statistics to these posts. One option would be a 'rich list', but I am not sure if people want to be listed like that. I welcome other suggestions. # The Numbers ## London and the South East (39/37/45) Posting: @adetorrent (London), @alonicus (Hampshire), @anna-newkey (Cambridgeshire @steve.and.anke), @assassyn (Reading), @audiohive-me (@riverstage), @basilmarples (Norwich), @benthomaswwd (Northampton @heartbeatonhive @benthomasuk @pulsation @pfsonhive), @bombaycrypto (London), @cezary-io, @chris-uk (Norwich), @davidthompson57 (West Sussex), @donatello, @dubble (London), @edenmichelle, @gillianpearce (Brighton), @jompiy (London), @lovlygirl (London), @mcsamm (Milton Keynes), @mightyrocklee (Bedfordshire @heruvim1978 @heruvim78), @nicklewis (Berkshire), @practicaleric (London), @purplesinger (Bedfordshire), @pvmihalache (Bedford), @queenoftheworld, @revisesociology, @risingstargame (@atomcollector @juxtamusic @jux), @samsmith1971, @sergiomendes (@thesassysergio), @spectrumecons, @stav (Norfolk), @steevc (Bedfordshire @tenkminnows @swing47 @theriverkicks), @stormkeepergu (East London @stormkeepersmdk), @talesfrmthecrypt, @tarabh (Luton), @teooo (Brighton), @theblackchair (Essex), @tonybad (London), @triority (Chichester), @ura-soul (Norfolk or elsewhere) Voting: @andy4475 (Woking @andy-jahm @andy-vibes @andy-cine), @archatlas (Shoreditch), @awah, @blockchainyouth, @cryptosneeze, @daniellemurray (Herts @radioliquorice @themoonshots), @dannyshine, @dashfit, @elmerlin (London @liketu), @has-k (London), @holisticmom, @icepee, @immarojas, @liverehab, @lloyddavis (Guildford @steemcampuk @lloyd-social), @matildamoment, @mattniblock, @mhel (London), @molometer (London @mopal), @nakedverse, @nanzo-scoop, @notaboutme, @pepskaram (London), @pizzadalek, @redrica, @reviewed, @richardslater (Brighton), @rmsbodybuilding, @slayerkm, @stevermac1966 (Crystal Palace), @stickchumpion, @stimp1024, @thepatriotblog (Suffolk), @tricki, @trippymane, @wilfredn, @winkandwoo Inactive: @aliciaclayton1 (London), @bellou61 (Brighton), @benwesterham (Northamptonshire), @bigbanginfinity (London), @bleepcoin, @blockchainfpl (Eastbourne @the-gorilla @fplcanary), @cosmicwolf19 (London), @cryptogee, @d3p0, @daine-cherry, @devosdevosi (London), @digna, @dougdigital, @drceeyou (Essex), @dunsky (London), @edent (London), @expo.void (Northampton), @frostdrop (Hampshire), @goforma (London), @greenjhon (London), @grokfree (London), @jgiordi (London), @jotphototravel (London), @kaazoom (East Sussex), @kabir88, @kph (Ipswich), @likeadivauk (Brentford), @manandvanstratf (London), @martinem (London), @mcgregoragri (Hampshire), @mr-neil (Portsmouth), @mrbullionhunter (London), @nftbyveritas (London), @rafique, @raymondspeaks, @renaissancegeek (St Albans), @richlyblk (Shoreditch), @robpye (London), @stickupboys (Brighton), @tartanclothing (London), @tdctunes (London), @ultravioletmag (London), @witcher73 (Hounslow), @wrobellek (Oxford), @zoltarian ##
