I am really curious about this as well. I love stacker and I want to make a real investment of energy here but I still have fear. In particular I wonder if it's going to be around for a long time. And is it for everyone or just bitcoiners? I want it to be for everyone.

I want it to be for everyone.
People need to understand how zapping Sats works. That is a technical hurdle that rules out participation by most people.

No, that's not a technical hurdle. I don't agree. Even if you are so noob who don't understand bitcoin, lightning and wallet, he can easily start to zap by posting/commenting for free until he gets enough and then he can zap back.
IMO, likes replaces by zaps is the best as you can't press it for umpteenth times instead you need to first earn if you want to zap.

I agree with you. I think even for someone who is not familiar with Bitcoin, zaps will simply encourage them to engage and not get caught up in scrolling. Seems like it will inherently build stronger communities

This is why I think stacker is so amazing for on boarding. People can come for free and engage and immediately start earning. Then, when it is time to withdrawal they can figure the lightning part out.
