In an effort to provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio I've created a "Tech News Only" website at:
https://techstacks.io https://techstacks.io
As I'm more interested in reading about Technology News and announcements instead of the more political and non-technology content that's frequently appearing on HN.
It's a mix of HN/Reddit where anyone can create and become an "owner of a Technology" where they can moderate content posted to their own section and enlist other Moderators to help.
It's optimized for fast navigation and posting with a number of keyboard shortcuts to access most pages of the site. The benefit over HN / Reddit is richer metadata so you can drill into just the news you're interested in. You can "Subscribe" to different technology content and you can post full markdown so content is richer and more visually appealing (if that's what you prefer). In a way I like to think of it as a "hosted RSS" as you can customize your own news feed (in addition to the global feed) in just the content you're interested in.
The sites other primary purpose is to learn about the different "Technology Stacks" that popular Startups and Apps use, which is primarily where all the external contributions are going towards.
It's an OSS/BSD project which you can read more about its features and how it was built at:

Previously I was posting all the interesting Tech News/Posts I've found on HN/Reddit but haven't been able to keep up in the last 3 months due to work time constraints, I'll pick it back up when everything settles back down again, but would obviously love if others could contribute Tech News/Announcements they find interesting.
Ultimately I'd really like to frequent a better "Tech Only News" feed of HN's expert comment quality as I feel that a lot of good Tech Content is being lost and hidden by clickbaity and political news.
