Lobste.rs Hacker News with less Silicon Valley culture.

• nickpsecurity 8y ago
  Hacker News and Lobste.rs are my favorite, tech forums. Quite complementary. For those unfamiliar with Lobste.rs, it's a smaller, slower-moving, mostly-tech-focused forum. It has many low-level hackers and CompSci people, too. So, we have more in-depth submissions on those topics. They also might survive on the front page longer just due to less competition for it like HN has. Occasionally, we also have highly-educational comments from those people that I don't see elsewhere. I always compare comment sections of anything on both HN and Lobsters to spot that. There's also some folks that just don't like really-big, fast-moving sites. They submit exclusively to smaller communities like Lobste.rs. So, those are the main benefits of the site for anyone interested.

      I don't do invites right now. The best place to get one is just ask nicely in chat: https://lobste.rs/chat https://lobste.rs/chat If you get on, send me a message through the Lobsters site saying so. I'll reply with something to help you get started.
