It’s not clear whether HN has ever approached the same level of signal as subreddits. If you visit reddit front page then surely you’re looking for comedy and chatter, but if you consider the tech subreddits I don’t think Reddit was ever outperformed, such as for the Rust subreddit. In a way HN is all front page, even if its front page is higher signal than Reddit.
