Today we’ll be showing you guidelines on how to use Hive Social and answer the question that bothers our followers: ”Who owns Hive Social?”

Even though Elon Musk only bought Twitter recently, there has already been more than enough drama and unrest there to drive users to search for alternatives. Mastodon and Cohost appeared to be the two most widely used alternatives to Twitter, but Hive Social suddenly emerged as a third choice.

Hive Social resembles a hybrid of Twitter, Instagram, and MySpace. It offers the simplicity of Twitter, emphasizes photographs a little more than Instagram does, and lets you add music to your profile just like in Myspace. It’s fascinating and probably a little less complicated to use than Mastodon.

Here are the steps to create an account on Hive Social:

  1. Download the app on your smartphone
  2. Select create an account
  3. Sign-up using your Google or Apple account. There is also the option to sign up using a phone number if you don’t want to use your email address.
  4. As directed by the instructions on the screen, enter your personal information. This contains the birthday, display name, username, password, email, and phone number.
  5. Select the topics you want to see on your feed

Who owns Hive Social?

CEO Raluca Pop, 24, of Hive, also goes as Kassandra when people have trouble pronouncing her Romanian name. She has been working incredibly hard for the past four days to stay up with demand with the help of two teammates, marketing Pablo and developer Josh, whose last names have been withheld out of respect for their privacy.

Pop started creating the Hive Social in June 2019 using coding skills she had self-taught. Pop, who had a degree in psychology, launched the initial iteration of Hive in October 2019 despite having no technical knowledge. She had such a strong belief in it that she quickly obtained two personal loans to pay for server space and hire a freelance coder. Only one other person, an angel investor who liked the software personally, contributed a $25,000 investment to cover costs.

According to Teen Vogue, the app experienced its first spike in mostly Gen Z users in early February 2021.

“All of a sudden, we had this massive influx… it really pushed the boundaries of the servers,”

“It was just another wild ride like right now, although right now we’re way better prepared.”

-Raluca Pop
