For that reason, I’ll be stepping away from reporting on growth metrics like item count, revenue etc., and moving toward a higher emphasis on quality.
I love this! I think it’s incredibly boring when reports on growth in some territory make it to the front page. I think a site that is concerned with itself (like nostriches talking about how great nostr is) is incredibly boring for anybody not already deeply embedded in it.
So I guess in some way, one could even say reporting on growth is not good for growth? 🤔
Zaprank (in all its splendour) is a great indicator of an item’s popularity and not necessarily of its craft
I agree! If you could disable zaprank in your territory, would you do it? If so, what would you replace it with?
Other feedback: are the tags necessary? It’s friction. Can’t you tell from the content? Just as you pick the winners, I think you’re also more than capable of determining into which category something belongs.

I am not sure I fully understand how this would affect hot and top rankings and an items visibility.
I'm guessing this might imply that something other than trust score could affect a zappers/commenters weight.
Could a stacker's number of unique readers factor in? Maybe the number of views on their items. Or even the number of their posts' one day referrals?
I'm thinking about how people use YT views to get a gauge on someone's reliability. Flawed as this may be, it is one of the first things I look for when I discover content over there.
To be clear I'm not anti-zaprank, but conversely, I find it to be fun working within its limits.

I appreciate the feedback. You're not the only one saying that (see #1220534) about tags so lets pin this and say that this is optional.
I do like seeing people acknowledge what genre/form they're creating in, since I think it can show self-awareness; however, I do acknowledge that a tag is not the best way of accomplishing this.
Therefore, the only requirement for being considered is posting here -- no tag necessary.

tags are much needed around here. It could also be a cross-territories thing, for example [fiction] could be a sub in both ~the_stacker_muse but also ~BooksAndArticles (ad any other territory).
I feel it will also help a lot with SEO, especially if each tag get its own OG metas
