I would like to share my experience with Hive so you can benefit from it. I joined Hive (steem) in 2017. I did not make anything from my account on Steem. I left the account dormant for more than 2 years. I began to be active in 2020.
Hive hardfork made me confused about what I should focus on. At the early stages of Hive development, I was still active in both Steem and Hive. It was a dilema when my earnings in steem were bigger than Hive. However, I saw the potential development in Hive. I focused on blogging on Hive.
Later, more tribes migrated to Hive. I started to be active in the engagement in Leo. I also joined a blogging-challenge community. The community helped me write better content with some decided topics.
When the price of SBD jumped to 10 USD, I was attracted to writing some posts on Steem. In fact, the culture of Steem was truly different from that of Hive. There are too many voting bots on Steem. A picture with two or three lines of sentences can make tens of dollars. It is something that does not make sense to me based on my logic.
I am not interested anymore in Steem. Another bad culture in Steem was the voting circle of friends. I found some communities that always give good upvotes to their circle of curators. New members will not be encouraged to get upvoted by Steem whales because they are not in the list of friends.
When more accounts in Steem earn high votes from bots, they try to practice their blogging style in Hive. Hive respects originality and value. Engagement becomes the key to the growth of accounts and communities. So, never bring Steem culture to Hive.
What Should and What Shouldn't in Hive blogging?
I hope there are more Indonesian Hive users reading this post because I contacted some users that got downvoted and muted in Hive and its communities.

Those are some unwritten rules that you should pay attention to. Besides that, Hive is a social platform. You should get social. You post regularly while you never read other posts. It is not getting social. You also need other posts. You will learn a lot of things from other daily activities.
I do not want to teach you, but I would be happy if you could be successful in blogging in Hive. Learning, reading, and being active in engagement is the key.
Thanks for reading my post. I hope we, who are from +62, can grow together on this amazing platform.
These some tribe hashtags that you can use
