You welcome. Adding subs it's basically just a way to refine the information categorization. See it as adding tags to a post: for example, that guitar could have multiple tags ~Agora, ~Music, ~vintage and appear in the respective territories. So tags = subs, categories = territories.
It has benefits not only for distribution of the content -- guaranteeing somehow it will reach the right audience -- but also when retrieving and searching for information
From a mod perspective, the subs will guarantee that another person is keeping an eye on the contents and curate that specific tag/sub-territory. The advantage is for the founder, but also for the founder of the sub-t that will be incentivized with sats to moderate properly.
True, is that it still very early for the territories, a moth or so? we'll see what will happen and how everything will evolve
It definitely has a place for filtering purposes and also for content exposure.
I think it'd need refining in a way that territories have yet to have been refined. There's a lot of bloat on SN after the introduction of territories. Some that have next to no interaction nor an active founder. Just dead territories that are likely to be archived. I'd like to see that play out before adding more smaller territories to the long list of areas to post. Otherwise the checkbox list gets really bloaty really fast.
Unless you organise the checkboxes as a drop down? Once box checked also show options within territory? Dunno, would have to think about how that would work. I'm not a coder so I wouldn't know how that would work.
