I think a few things are happening here. 1. Reddit and HN are not mutual exclusive. There could be stuff that could be cross posted. Also, Reddit is a startup, is a YC company, and the founders are very active in the startup community. All these things together make Reddit a popular item to discuss. 2. I think the HN community is starting to change. That doesn't mean decline, just change. I can program, but I'm not a programmer. I'd rather read about unique business models, human interest stories, etc than the latest and greatest clojure article. 3. That said, re-reading the guidelines isn't a bad idea!
