What's are you doing differently versus r/cars over at reddit which already has over 2.3 million subs in their community?
- trizoza 6y agoThere definitely is an overlap, big one. I built it for this reason: I am a automotive engineer. I come to work in the morning, make myself a coffee and open autonews.io, click on 2-3 articles that interest me, read them, done with my coffee, ready to work, I'm up to date with latest news in industry - so maybe the combination of news feed plus community submitted articles is different. Hope it is!
- mod 6y agoNot op, but seems like he's (potentially) creating a focused, niche community, maybe with better moderation. Or maybe he's going for the exact same thing. There's no reason to differentiate from what one subreddit does. Many of us don't like reddit.
- trizoza 6y agothx
- tmh88j 6y ago/r/cars focuses primarily on performance ICE vehicles, specifically sports cars and some offroading. It seems like most subjects on OP's site cater towards EV's, hybrids and general non-enthusiast subjects. As a huge performance car enthusiast, there were only a couple links within the past few days that were of interest to me.
- trizoza 6y agohi, yeah, that's been a great feedback, few other people were asking for Formula1 and other racing content. Will be brought soon.
- MiddleEndian 6y agoWhy use hackernews instead of /r/technology? Not every community needs to be on reddit.
