468 sats \ 4 replies \ @phygit 3 May 2023 \ on: Daily discussion thread
Subs are obv a nice addition and much appreciated (feels good to be heard ;-). Thanks. But now comes the tricky part:
1/ What will be the next subs? Since Bitcoin and Nostr are covered, you can only add non-Bitcoin-related topics...
2/ How (and by whom) will new subs be created? SN creators, community voting?
I would suggest that anybody should be allowed to open a new sub, BUT with two conditions:
a/ You need to pay a high fee to create the sub (say 100k sats)
b/ Subs that don't reach a certain threshold of engagement after a week/month (number of posts and/or amount of sats tipped, TBD) are automatically terminated and the same subs can't be created for a month.
I see your point, but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to live with the current three subs and let users get used to the new features. I already notice posts being placed in the wrong sub, and there are only three choices! Chaos may ensue if further complications are introduced.

one thing that has been considered in the past is a monthly recurring fee for anyone who wants to start a sub.
the sun creator would pay up front and would earn all the sats from posting fees and a cut of platform fees.
they’d have a strong incentive to make sure there was enough activity on their sub to justify the expense they incur.
