  Generally things that clone existing things don't replace them. lobte.rs is too close to HN in the same way OpenHunt is too close to PH.

  It's really too bad. I spent a couple minutes checking Lobste.rs out again after reading this comment, and that site is very nicely done.

    the site is fairly opinionated - for example i wanted to contribute a pull for adding an oauth provider to lobsters. If you think about how lobsters works and their moderation log [1] and invite audit [2], it seems almost beautifully designed for "hacker" identity. But jcs doesnt want it.

  For those interested, I started compiling a list of HN-style news aggregators: https://github.com/mikeanthonywild/hacker-news-for-x https://github.com/mikeanthonywild/hacker-news-for-x. I really love this sort of format for niche communities, but many of them lack sufficient exposure!
