For me, it's become one of the default opens when starting my day
It completely replaced my daily Hacker News consumption.

Hacker News is becoming less and less interesting to me

Me too

It’s now on my daily visit list. But also I think it represents the next era of discussion forums. They will go back to being independent and most likely subject or group specific.
But, instead of just being a “the good ol’ days of discussion boards” sort of project, it’s something new, unique and useful. The premise is so simple, but elegant and non-obvious, which really makes it a great invention.

Much more than reddit which is impossible in mobile browser.
And moisturizes me with sats.

it's quite sad that Reddit pushes unregistered users to onboard, often not letting them even see a thread or subreddit.
I checked stacker.news a long time ago when it was new and not there yet, only to be so pleasantly surprised to see it now. I'm secretly hoping for stacker.news to keep growing and growing.
reply
For that reason I just avoid it. Open and permissionless network wins.

Love the feeling of fresh sats in the morning 😮‍💨
Have some 🧴

I used to spend all kinds of time on Reddit. Almost never anymore.
When I do need to, I use Teddit.net
e.g.,
reply
Checkup on SN daily in the morning and then in the afternoon! Look for topics to dig deeper with my learning
reply
It's my go to place now. The traffic and content is picking up.
reply
i have the tab open all the time too.
The only thing with SN at the moment is that after a certain time I went through "all" of it. On Reddit, Twitter or Youtube there is no going through "all" of it, it never ends.
Hopefully that changes when SN continues to grow exponentially and we introduce sub-forums etc.
Looking forward to it!

Good point!
Are you thinking about better discoverability or rather categorization? (TBF, both are very similar...)

I don't think that's a programming issue. More content will naturally come with time.
I personally could contribute more "content" without being a spammer with more categorization. And the algorithm would sort it (together with content provided by other users) automatically to make the content feel endless.
reply
Yeah, I get that.
Just want to understand what functionality could look like in your eyes, since you spoke about sub-forums.
reply
I like how it's pretty much all signal.
That's why i m on twitter, but you need to go through too much BS
We need more bitcoiners to join though
reply
That's a fair point.
However, sadly only a symptom of an early, niche community – it won't keep working like that forever.
But since content and value/money is the fundamental link on here, we'll probably find some cool way to keep incentives aligned
reply
It's my main source of Bitcoin news and the it's also the best community around bitcoin. I like that it's more about the content, than the person who posted it.
reply
Agreed. Twitter is a cess-pool of simps
reply
Also a default on mine, I check it every morning to see if theres new things I should consider learning and writing about, or update our landing pages, if theres a new wallet or service
Then I go on commenting and tipping my tits off lol
reply
I work on the computer so I usually have it open all day and check from time to time for new stories. When I'm not at home I might browse the https://t.me/stackernewslive Telegram feed to see if there's some interesting article.
Don't post links very often and if I do is usually technical articles about Bitcoin / Lightning, I probably should be commenting more though!
I think I'm addicted to SN but mostly a lurker lol
reply
Didn't know that feed existed, nice! Might be too much noise for me when posting's picking up, though lol
reply
I deleted Twitter. Twitter is 99.9% noise.
None of the Bitcoin Twitter influencers have impressed me; a lot of discussions seems to be regurgitation of one-liners (even in face-to-face conversation)
reply
It's the first thing I open, which is only a recent development. A couple of months ago I would still open twitter first.
I browse the front page looking for anything good. Silently damn anything I think doesn't belong there, like 3 hour podcasts. Then browse through recent and see if there's anything good in there.
reply
samezies will usually be first thing I check to see whos commented or posted what and just things to look into for the day etc. end of the day its awesome and I'm here everyday for it.
reply
It’s calm here. Calm is nice.
reply
I check SN daily. I am addicted!
reply
I visit it every day and I don't check Reddit or HN too much anymore. At least for now it's more signal than noise which is nice. I love the community here as well.
reply
On laptop I open "recent" and scroll+expand down to the last yellow lightning. Then I read titles of each item from bottom up and middle click (command+click) on the ones that sound interesting so they open in new tabs in background. I then go through all the tabs from left to right... In each tab i middle click on the article, so it shows up in a tab to the right and so I can easily flip between article and comments. If I like what I see, I send some sats or comment :)
On mobile this is much harder to do (since the back button doesn't work well with expanded state and it's not really possible to open in background), so I just scan for interesting posts somewhat randomly.
reply
I post stories and testimonies fellow LN node operators share.
I also share answers to BTC LN related questions I receive ⚡️
reply
I always leave the window open as I check for SN updates
