It's also a small Hacker News / Reddit-esque "clone" / "fork". While their spam management system is being invite only, and they do not seem positive on Bitcoin or blockchain at all, they have some good features.
Like someone posted prior [1] a tag system (possibly like lobsters, as I suggested) could be a good feature. [2] Some other useful features they have are Hats [3] (specialized flair system for community/project leaders), story merging [4] and an Active Threads page [5] too name a few I enjoy. More are listed under the "About" page. [6]
@k00b I hope I'm not out of line suggesting any of this - I'm very new and still learning a lot about Bitcoin :)

I think the idea of flairs could be super interesting and useful for sorting through posts!

Yes I agree. Sometimes I want to look for specific topics, other times I just to read stuff under lobste.rs/t/rant :)

I would like a tag system similar to theirs. It doesn't fragment the main feed like having subs would and still allows users to filter by subject.

Subs are disjointing

More recent discussion on subs / groups / tags / etc.
Is SN supposed to become a twitter or reddit competitor? #23428
Could SN be made even better with dedicated subforums? #21863

one of my favorite features of lobster.rs is the user tree: https://lobste.rs/u
I think it opens up all kinds of possibilities around "webs of trust"

Very useful feature on private trackers as well.
