Tangential: I have recently had my articles featured on the front page of Lobsters and HN within hours of each other. Not the same article, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, but: - It's very hard for a HN post to get noticed. New posts linger in /newest (frequented by relatively few people) for about half an hour before falling down to the second page, and you need to be lucky enough to receive enough upvotes in that timeframe to hit the front page. Lobsters' "success rate" appears to be higher. - In terms of traffic, I got about 11K hits from unique IPs from HN and about 1.7K from Lobsters. - I like that Lobsters clearly indicates when a submission is authored by its submitter. Overall, as people have mentioned, both communities are great. I've been here for 10+ years – thank you for everything, HN!
