 What's the most natural way to compartmentalize your attention and actions?
By Community or by Content type? 

Most Big Tech apps are built around the latter. 
Nostr gives us the option to build for the first. 
A more natural option, at least in my book.  
 By network, yes. The important part in my opinion is that every user's network is different from their perspective. 
There is no such thing as "a community" at a global / objective level, only various users' networks and the areas where they overlap.  
 If by content type, you mean videos vs tweets (notes) vs audio (podcasts) etc then yeah, I'd say community is better. Communities based on topics (think forums, subreddits) are better than one based on follows though. Often I begin to follow someone due to a tweet on a topic I'm interested in, only to get other unrelated/uninteresting tweets from that person as well.

Replying to a zap made on a reply to a zap. 

Haha, #V4V all the way down ⚡ 
 I'm more-likely to reply to a zap. Ngl.

My attention can be bought. 😎 
 It just means that your attention has a cost. 
Or should be earned. 

That's a good thing 💪. 
 I'm sometimes drowning in likes and replies and start turning them off in the notifications. Just want to see zaps, boosts and quotes. 
 And if I want someone to act, I zap and add a comment like "Please build this!". 
 It's like a superchat. 
 Notifications per Community fixes this.
Especially communities where replies have a cost 😉. 
 that's true

hate when I read a reply and it's incomprehensible or offensive bullshit and I realize that I'm not getting those 15 seconds back. 
 It took me a while to realize that I'm probably getting trolled by intentional time-wasters and time-wasting-bots. That's the game.

Write something that almost looks like a real paragraph, but is actually slightly random or just expletives strung together.

Make them pay to make me read that ish. 
 it makes me think about how both reactions and zaps could be integrated into replies, and then to link the two parts together to prioritise them or highlight them

would just entail probably adding a multi-letter tag like "associated" and the reply ID with the zap/reaction on the input side and pulling that out of the set of events that refer to the parent note, and then parsing that for display so reactions get attributed more visibly... and for fun, add a priority feed that puts zaps at top and reaction comments below it 
 Yeah, raise the signal. 
 I've sometimes got 10 feeds going simultaneously and I need to know what to look at, first.

I turn off likes, usually.
I look at my favorite follows' replies first, then I look at zapper's stuff, then I turn off replies and look at boosts and quotes.

I only reply to all replies if it's a slow time, like Monday morning in Europe.

And now that we're moving the projects from Simplex and Slack to Nostr, and my gitstuff is high-prio, I'll need more filtering.

A reply to an issue should be top-level, for me. 
 AND I NEED MY PROJECT GROUPS IN MY NOTIFICATIONS 💯  
 If they write me, 

yo Stella, server is 404, I need to see that ASAP 
 Especially if it's a private group ffs.
We literally formed a secret club. I want to see what they wrote. 
 it would be really good to assemble a feature set for a serious slack/github style deployment

i think if such tools exist there is money for hosting, managing and maintaining it 
 That's what GitRepublic will be. 
 The feature set

Replying to zaps is my jam now. Even default zaps 😉. 
 hzrd149 Hook us up with the OnlyZaps notification setting.

😂

only zaps and replies where the npub also-zapped the note

and give it a filter like over 6 sats 
 No wonder your reply never got any Zaps, but got my attention. #nostr doesn't work like that, this is not traditional social media. Either you interact, share ideias and create bonds with other users OR you don't get any Zaps.  
 LOL muted. You should have paid me to read that crap. 
 That is 15 seconds of my life that I'm not getting back. 😠

You. Are. Stealing. My. Time. With. Your. Bullshit.
