I'm personally following the NFT space quite closely and I'm an avid reader of HN. NFTs are on discord, and to be honest I'm pretty happy they've disappeared from HN.
Articles about NFTs on HN are simply a waste of time: comments tend to not stay on topic and derail on whether NFTs make sense, blockchain makes sense, PoW makes sense, etc.
To give you a comparison, a few years ago we launched a Kickstarter for an open source security key, almost exclusively via HN.
I'm now working on a NFT project and never posted it here. The dynamic of the project is exactly the same: raising money from a crowd. Both projects imo have a pretty interesting tech component (FIDO2 back before it was cool, and cross-chain NFTs before it's cool), and both are fully open source.
Yet... it's simply not worth the time discuss a topic when the majority of the community doesn't appreciate it. Better to focus on Twitter and Discord.
Hope this helps.
