I believe is important to support territories that somehow are struggling, I pick the bottom 5 by revenue for this month (excluding #56 ~openagents because is a proprietary one)

Hope this ideas help spin up your territories a bit more!

For ~spirituality by @anna
Strategy: Thoughtful, respectful community building

  1. I see spirituality as a much important topic and shame is not active as it should be. Delicate topics thoughts... Once a week or biweekly, I'd take the top posts and share in philosophy and meditation subreddits.
  2. Another option is to engage with authors/podcasters who explore intersection of technology and spirituality and have them promoting and creating their content in here.
  3. Create discussion series to keep existing stackers engages. Some topics could be something like "Bitcoiners and Buddhists shared values" or "Proof of work as spiritual practice"

For ~tutorials by @nout
Strategy: Become the go-to for education in general, people is always looking to learn something new. Feed their brains!

  1. I'd start sharing the most wanted one, is easy to gather this information from google/trends and other similar platforms that know what people is looking for.
  2. Another option is to focus on tricks and tips taht make life easier... does not need to be full page tutorials, simply practical advice to solve everyday problems.

For ~food_and_drinks by @Bitter
Strategy: Food communities love sharing and discovering new meals or drinks.

  1. I remember seeing a great series on cocktails... latest one #980211 there should be more of these!
  2. In this case images are keys, so I'd organize parallel account and share interesting posts like this cocktails, in instagram food and drinks accounts - show them they can get paid for their culinary creativity
  3. Crossposting in r/food, r/cocktails, r/coffee or similar the top content regularly could also help bring people from these communities into SN.
reply

I really enjoyed the cocktails series, too. however, I know how hard it is to keep up that kind of pace. I can imagine @Shugard needed a break. (I made a good number of those drinks! was quite fun.)

For ~mempool by @softsimon
Strategy: Technical community gravitates toward quality analysis

  1. Leverage mempool data to start new conversations and share the top ones on X, nostr and other bitcoin tech related forums.
reply

Another idea came now... each block is unique! So for example, the territory (owner or a bot) could read the data in the latest mined block and create an highlight or summary with (and not limited to) the following:

  • How many coinjoin?
  • Who mined it? was a solo miner?
  • How about OP_RETURN data?
  • and the block template? did MARA play art again?
  • ...

There's plenty of data on each block, and in the mempool itself, that could make it really fun also to automatically generate something and share it here on SN

reply

I'm sure the mempool guys could produce a lot of amazing insights. I think probably they are just busy running their thing.

reply

they should take a break and join us here for a bit of fun...

reply

These are great! thanks for putting them together! territories are so awesome, I'd love to see more of them getting interesting posts and comments.

For ~videos by @Jon_Hodl
Strategy: Share and comment more, much more!

  1. Partner with YouTubers/TikTokers who discuss tech topics - offer them a dedicated space to share their content in exchange of sats. They could also use existing content to test the floor.
  2. Cross-post compelling video discussions to r/videos or r/videography with "continue the discussion on stacker.news/~videos"
  3. Reach out to amateurs or professional video producers who share videos on X and that might appreciate a zap comment for their episodes!

I am fond of the ~gaming territory but don't post in it because of lack of content but I have a good incentive to promote it.

Share top ~gaming posts to:

[X/Twitter]: Tag #BitcoinGaming #LightningGames

Nostr relays (like iris.to, snort.social) with zap-enabled content

Relevant Telegram/Discords:

  • ZBD Discord
  • Bitcoin Arcade
  • Satsback/Gamers for Sats
  • Zebedee India (active game testers!)
    and there are more than 1m+ members in some indian communities like Total Gaming, Minecraft Discord etc.

Engage Gamedev Influencers
Target: indie Bitcoin game devs, Lightning devs with open-source projects

Invite them for "DevTalk bounties" in ~gaming

Offer sats to explain their games or dev journey via SN

Organize some good bounty events

  1. Sats for Scores: Mini Tournaments
    Pick free web games (e.g., lightning-native or no-login)

Winner screenshots + wallet gets zapped

Post results + memes to SN ~gaming

  1. Review-for-Sats Threads
    Weekly thread: "Review any game in 100 words—best 3 get zapped."

Reposted on Twitter & Nostr with TL;DRs

  1. “Build Your Own Game Concept” Bounty
    Prompt: “Describe a Bitcoin-based game idea, mechanics, and how sats flow.”

Winners posted to SN ~gaming + tweeted + maybe even prototyped

AMA

Very interesting territory. But why not?

Why?

reply

AMA is celebs-only so that normies are not supposed to post unless you have something askable in yourself, and even if you do, you will hardly get any attention because when an AMA post is to be made by someone who is invited, an announcement is made prior on SN with the date and time for the guest to enter SN

reply

we plebs not good enough for yooous??!?

Suckers

reply

U aren't a pleb even if u think u r, those with high trust automatically qualify as celebs
