Ask HN: Which other similar to HN communities are you a member of?
- ISeemToBeAVerb 15y agoUsed to haunt Wickedfire a lot. Not so much recently though. Not sure if AskMetafilter counts, but I've been there for years and love the community.
- just_testing 15y agoReddit, and some mailing lists (altough Reddit serves me only for the laughts - the mailing lists are far more useful)
- olalonde 15y agoI sometimes use http://forrst.com/ http://forrst.com/
- shii 15y agoNuclearPhynance, the phorum for sharp, rich, laconic quant bastards who drink too much. HN is like 4chan compared to it.
- chalst 15y agoSimilar is a mite ambiguous, but I guess you mean somewhat similar communities rather than Reddit-like interface. Three I really care about: Advogato, Lambda the Ultimate and the new Tex Stack Exchange. Stack Overflow isn't a community anymore, but I still go there a few times a week and see what's happened on the tags I care about. I've got a Linked In account: the forums there are weird; the German-centric Xing is better, but not hugely - the advantage of these is that they are easy to keep up with. I checkout Slashdot every month or so, and am not really sure why I bother. I subscribe to a few mailing lists, but I spend much less time with them than I did six or seven years ago. They feel more a like an obligation that a community, to be honest. I'm a bit bothered about that, since mailing lists are much easier to archive than anything else: internet communities are becoming more transitory in so many ways.
