I think we need to pursue @k00b to taking more and more interest in Sports so he becomes one of us and ~Stacker_Sports posts will be up on SN front page, like this one is now! What you say @grayruby and @Undisciplined?

It doesn't have to be @k00b specifically, but that's the right idea.

Look at the territory analytics. ~Stacker_Sports is growing nicely, even with Stacker News seeing less activity.

If we keep on this path, then more of our stuff will surface on the main site.

@k00b was just symbolic there you know.

I've no doubt about the success of ~Stacker_Sports because it's got interest of masses. Unfortunately high trust zappers don't like sports maybe. And I doubt more of our stuff will ever surface on the front page if more Stackers (especially with high trust) don't zap our posts.

You can see our posts get more comments but don't get more zappers. I don't know why those who love sports have a problem to just zap 10 sats, if not more?

Wait until NFL games start back up. That's our busy season. I think we'll see a trust uptick.

For the past few months, basically the whole time there's been territory specific trust, most Americans have been checked out of sports, so we haven't had an opportunity to build our trust scores.

I also hope we soon pick up, it's just sometimes depressing not to see more zaps even on a good sports news post. I think we should challenge non-sporty butterballs of SN for a duel on something, maybe a comment/post competition, maybe then they lose some morbidity.

We just have to stay the course. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

This! Keep enjoying our sports and if anything good happens, it will be welcomed!

Best strategy is just to try to get people to sub to the territory then they will see the posts regardless if they make the top lists or not.

Best but not very easy considering SN don't have such a UI which persuades stackers to sub a territory like most othe platforms.

Before they made changes the hot page used to be a personalised one where you mostly got to see the similar content that you generally zap or engage with. Now it's like most of the content most of times that is not my interest on the front page which means I have to search for te content that I like. And it also makes hot and top page look alike.

To me the hot page (front page) of SN looks like that it's mostly imposed upon me. It may be the best content but best is also subjective.
