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. I use Python with beem (by @holger80) in a script to generate what you see here. 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.

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 to discuss it or drop me a comment.
Those based in the UK can use the #teamuk tag for an extra vote. If you see people using it on non-relevant posts then drop them a friendly comment to point out that is not encouraged.
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. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry.
The code to produce this post is on Github. People are welcome to use it for their own regional version.

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. 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.
Commentary
A small increase this month. Some regions are up and others are down. We need to get more social events going on around the country to keep people motivated. The $HIVE price is not changing too much. If it shot up then we might see some people return, but some of us just keep accumulating it regardless. Anyone will a Hive account can be earning even if they are not posting. Just set up automatic votes on specific accounts or follow some trails to get curation rewards. You will get counted as active on this list.
I have been saying I will do a meetup around here and I will set a date soon. Now the weather is improving we can go for a walk somewhere and I plan to start it from a convenient point, plus we will end up at a pub.
I know people complain about Hive lacking marketing, but it is up to us to do something. We can be raising awareness by sharing posts on other social media. If we each recruit a couple more people then growth could take off. Having your friends on board makes it more fun.
In my queries I run to look to find Brits there are just a few turning up who do not respond to comments and lack real evidence they are in the UK. We do get accounts with fake locations. My script will miss some people who make their location less obvious, so let me know of any you find.
Let me know of anything you are doing to promote Hive and I will mention it.
