Ask HN: Outside of HN and Reddit what discussion communities are you a part of?
Outside of HN, Reddit, and Slashdot, what similar minded (or different) online discussion communities are you a part of? Just curious.
- brlewis 11y agoI keep lists on Twitter. Twitter is bad because you're limited to 140 characters, but it's good because everyone else is limited to 140 characters.
- Mz 11y agoWould you be willing to expand on your use of lists? I love twitter but also find it baffling.
- Nadya 11y agoYou should use lists to organize discussions around topics you are interested it. For example - I can create a list of lead-runners on Machine Learning and add the people I follow who are well-informed on the topic of Machine Learning to this list. Then when I view my Twitter Feed - I can choose to instead look at a feed from a list. If I want to get "What's Going On" in Machine Learning, I visit that list and see a feed from these leaders of Machine Learning. Do this for all of your interests and you can organize your feed to get a quick grasp of what's going on everywhere instead of being blasted by noise on your main feed.
- brlewis 11y agoI have a "Hacker News" list with Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Paul Buchheit, Sam Altman and maybe some others. I have another list of tech people I've met locally. I remove anybody who posts lots of noise. I check approximately once a day and I almost always see multiple interesting things.
- Mz 11y agoThank you.
- pranaya_gh 11y agoFastlane forum is pretty good - more entrepreneurship oriented.

- wvenable 11y agohttp://www.crazyontap.com http://www.crazyontap.com -- It was created to replace the off topic board of Joel on Software when it closed. A bunch of old programmers bitching about things.
- gexos 11y ago+1 I love crazyontap "To live is to war with trolls."

- Nilef 11y agoyoungstartups.io - It's a slack community for those under 25. As the name suggests, we talk about businesses, tech and...school
- wingerlang 11y agoNone. Except for one Slack channel, which is directly derived from a subreddit. Used to go to a country-local gamedev forum, but the owner stopped caring and eventually the community started their own website. I still have a reminder each year for the domain expiry date although I can never catch it. My plan is to give it back to the community. Edit: went a bit off topic there didn't I.
- i336_ 11y agohttps://lobste.rs/ https://lobste.rs/ is very similar to HN, but it's invite-only. (If anyone reading this has an account there, I'd appreciate an invite! :P) http://firespotting.com/ http://firespotting.com/ uses the same Arc-based framework HN runs on, but is virtually unknown.
- gammaray 11y agohttps://endless-sphere.com/forums/ https://endless-sphere.com/forums/ - Enthusiasts forum for all electrical vehicles and technologies. I ride my electric bike to work everyday in Silicon Valley consistently beating google driving estimates by 10 minutes as I get to use the underused existing bike lanes while moving at around 30mph/50kph.
- testitouter 11y agohttp://frizbee.co/ http://frizbee.co/ It's a decentralized social aggregator.
- colloqu 11y agoI discuss the ideas of others and mine on https://www.stomt.com https://www.stomt.com
- pestaa 11y agoWhat a useless front page. :(
- blairbeckwith 11y agoA hard-to-escape useless page, too. Don't break my back button, please.
