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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
