On the trucking forum I used many years ago
The layout was very similar to SN, which immediately made me feel at home
They had a main menu page with the 'territories' laid out
By far the most popular was pro drivers page, where most posts were created, although the mods regularly moved posts to the correct territory
Second most popular was drivers specialising in long distances
Then there were the Newbies, The owner operators and the truckstop bar where jokes stories tall tales etc go, these were massively underused compared to the top 1, hence why if you wanted your post to get traction you'd post it there.... Which is why I suspect a lot of stackers post in Bitcoin territory because its the most popular
Interestingly there was a computer tech territory which nowadays could also include bitcoin Ln questions
They had stickys or pinned posts
I'm sure the SN founders cut there teeth on these internet forums and are well aware of how they were put together
