# 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](https://github.com/holgern/beem) (by @holger80) in [a script](https://peakd.com/hive-169321/@steevc/automating-checking-for-active-users-with-python) 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 people to include. @livinguktaiwan has helped a lot with this. You can find me in the @teamuksupport [Discord](https://discord.gg/ZQK6BFt) to discuss it or drop me a comment. The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad.

# 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.

# Commentary

This month we see a decrease in active Brits for the first time since I started compiling the list. I appreciate that people have other things going on, but it would be good to see numbers going up each month. I found a few more, including about half a dozen totally new people, but some I listed previously are not posting or commenting. My queries with HiveSQL are not turning up too many people as I have probably found most of those who were already here. It does help if people can put useful data in their profile location. I look for all the home nations as well as a lot of big cities. That may still miss some out. I have also looked at those using certain tags.

Now we are through Hardfork 25 it may be more worthwhile being active if you have good content to post. Talk to friends about Hive if you think they would be interested. 

I did find another person in Northern Ireland and so we are up to three there now! I would hope there might be more to include soon.
