I think Lobsters[0] is the only other forum to maintain a high-level of discourse like HN, but it is invite-only (and programming/comp-sci focused). I know some people have started other servers running Lobsters's source[1] that are dedicated to various subjects, but I can't speak to their quality as I haven't visited any of them.

If you speak other languages you might find out that there are still buckets of the web where old fashioned forums have some good discourse, the ones that have survived often do have good moderation. Maybe it is just me but it feels that it is much rarer occasion to find those in English, that has to be a cultural thing as well as how easy it is to be attacked by trolls and spammers.
