by @techcoderlabz Β· 2026-04-27

Hello Hivers π
Last Saturday, we ΰ€ΰ€―ΰ₯ΰ€ΰ€Ώΰ€€ another Pune meetup focused on introducing the Hive ecosystem and onboarding new users.
Despite ~10 RSVPs and a capacity of 20, only 2 attendees showed up β a reminder that turnout can be unpredictable, especially during extreme summer heat in Pune.

### π₯ Attendees & Experience

Showed limited interest during the session and did not create an account immediately. However, he mentioned he may join later via self-signup.

Highly engaged and curious. Asked detailed questions about:
* Hive onboarding & account creation

* Returns on HBD/HIVE
