So when do you think SN will eclipse the Bitcoin and Lighting Network subreddits?
Personally I've already abandoned them.

In terms of # of users? It'll take years. The Bitcoin sub has like 3 million people following it. We'll need to 10x ~3 times to get there. I believe we'll get there, but there's a lot of value we'll need to create to get normal folks to switch over. Right now we appeal to what I'd classify as true bitcoiners for whom a Bitcoin focused experience is of high value.

I agree that getting to that number of followers won't be quick, on the other hand it's really refreshing having a news feed basically free of "number go up" posts and memes.

Absolutely. I don't spend anytime thinking about eclipsing those services - but you asked. 🙂
I almost exclusively think about adding value for users who are like you and me, users who find the focus valuable, users who want to connect and learn more about Bitcoin. Outside of that, I do think about how we can appeal to Bitcoiners who don't realize they should be Bitcoiners yet; the best thing we can do though is try to demonstrate what can be done with Bitcoin and let the value shine through.

“Anytime” is an overstatement. I do think about it actually. I just think it’s the wrong thing to think about and I shouldn’t think about it.

I've been waiting for a huge selloff to happen so I could post the "Mr. Bean on a rollercoaster" gif (on some sock account, of course).
Just to see what type of reaction it would gather, here on SN.

There's also the issue that not all bitcoiners are capable of or willing to use lightning

Reddit took YEARS before it became mainstream. Once it did most of the early users left.
