Lobste.rs has a better site and functionality, but HN has a better community and much more activity/discussion. Though I want to note that having a better community doesn't mean the people on HN are nicer or more educated. There's just more users on this site, and thus more content overall, which means a larger amount of good content. I guess you could always read both.
