275 sats \ 6 replies \ @C_Otto 23 Mar \ on: What is the worst thing about SN? meta
It appears as a wall of text with unstructured/random content. Technical stuff, policitcs, art, everything. Some things I find interesting, others I'd rather not see. The core idea, BTC integration aside, seems to be very similar to Reddit. On Reddit, I can more easily select subreddits, and my homepage is curated based on my preferences. I'd love to see that, but I also have to admit that Reddit is far from perfect :)
That aside, I think the default font size is a bit too small. That's something I can easily tweak in my browser, though.

Yeah there's a lot of reddit hate here but I wouldn't mind emulating more of the old reddit (never migrated to the new UI). Much easier there to follow subreddits that you are subscribed to, and they have so many other topics. I get tired of 24/7 bitcoin talk tbh.

Me too. However, I have enjoyed discussions about music and video games, which have little to do with Bitcoin. The approach and the context with which you open Stacker News are important. I think I have made an inherent assumption that I am opening this page for something related to Bitcoin, and I am just pleasantly surprised to find topics outside of Bitcoin that I engage in here. So maybe that's inherent in the application's name, Stacker News, with 'Stacker' at the forefront. So unless we redefine who stacker is, it will be difficult to eliminate that association. But I don't think we want to get rid of the association. It's about a community of BTC stackers who enjoy other things in life and are not one-dimensional. I think that's a good direction to take rather than just focusing on Bitcoin conversations.

I think there is quite a bit of discussion of non-bitcoin related topics. I posted what I think some of the most popular topics are here: #923250

Yes, completely agree. But I have stumbled into these discussions. I am wondering if there is a way where discoverability of these topics is easier. Then I will come to stacker news for these discussions instead of when I want to read Bitcoin related news

I know it's probably far from what you actually want, but have you tried muting territories?
We have plans to bring back personalized feeds in a better way. Territories should also feel more like territories and less like tags.
