Ask HN: What are some other general link aggregators aside from HN?
I know of lobsters, reddit, and metafilter.
- fabianhjr 5y agohttp://lemmy.ml http://lemmy.ml is a federated libre source link aggegator built on Rust ( https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy )
- linkdd 5y agohttps://lemmy.ml/c/socialism https://lemmy.ml/c/socialism with the symbol of Communism. I laughed pretty hard.
- droptablemain 5y agoWhy laugh? Hammer and sickle is the iconography for worker/peasant unity, often associated with Communist parties and Socialist states. What's the joke?

- jvln 5y agoFor reference you could check this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago The cover has the same symbol.

- droptablemain 5y agoI have no idea what you're going on about, but I have a feeling it's some pro-imperialist, anti-communist, anti-worker view.
- dang 5y agoYour comment upthread was fine but this is taking things further into ideological flamewar (and snark) and we don't want that here. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

- capableweb 5y ago> the symbol of Communism Haha, I laughed pretty hard at the idea that someone thinks an idea has some sort of official symbol. What's the symbol for capitalism in your mind, the USD sign?
- eth0up 5y agoA red queen, grasping a screwdriver tied into a knot, symbolizing our faith in planned obsolescence and love of treadmills pointing in better directions.
- sigg3 5y agoIt was the official symbol of the USSR which to many were analogous to communism, since it was (ideologically) a global movement and de facto leader of communist military might. It's completely inaccurate to use the hammer and sickle for socialism, for the same reasons. You think it's weird ideas have symbols? Like the cross? Or the swastika (whether hindu or Nazi)? Or David's star? Symbols are a powerful and effective means of communication. That is why ancient victors took care in physically defacing inscriptions and faces from art and inscriptions. And in some parts of the world they still do.
- droptablemain 5y ago> It's completely inaccurate to use the hammer and sickle for socialism Most current and formerly socialist states were run by Communist parties -- Communist parties running socialist states with the eventual goal of achieving communism. Your comment seems to indicate a vast misunderstanding of the historical and modern use of the terms socialism and communism.
- beepbooptheory 5y agoYou will get downvoted to forever for this here and elsewhere, but you are right. Socialism without at least the horizon of a classless society is just neoliberalism when it is feeling nice.

- dang 5y agoPlease don't take HN threads on ideological flamewar tangents. Exactly the opposite of what this site is for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- gerikson 5y agoLobste.rs isn't a general link aggregator, anything not related to computing gets booted quickly: https://lobste.rs/moderations https://lobste.rs/moderations
- happytoexplain 5y agoPresumably the OP is OK with tech-leaning suggestions, as they gave HN as an example.
- 7373737373 5y agohttps://icebergcharts.com https://icebergcharts.com, at least the linked ones
- vosper 5y agoI but understand that site at all. What am I missing?
- 7373737373 5y ago> Iceberg Charts are an information format in which an image is divided into tiers and things are sorted into this structure by how well known they are, with the most popular entries at the top and the truly obscure at the bottom. > This makes them an interesting structure to share ones' interests and explore and learn more about topics one isn't too familiar with.
- focom 5y agohttps://techmeme.com/ https://techmeme.com/
- seph-reed 5y agoFacebook, Apple, and Google are in almost every link I saw.
- woodgrainz 5y agohttp://popurls.com http://popurls.com
- severine 5y agoThat's nice! And customizable without an account! Are you behind the project? I think I spotted a bug: After hiding the "Popular" links, saving and returning, the "CUSTOMIZE POPURLS" button stops being clickable. I can keep customizing it with the back button, though, so not a big deal... Anyway, I'm liking it, thanks!
- woodgrainz 5y agoI have no relation to the project. It's a very popular site.
- wintermutestwin 5y agoNice looking site, but it doesn't load in https for me?
- samstave 5y agoheh... Years ago there was a site called "LinuxHomePage.[net?]" -- and it looked almost exactly like this, but it had content box-borders also... I wonder if this is by the same guy... its literally identical and you could customize without an account...
- dpbigler 5y agoThis is only adjacent to what you've asked for, but I wrote an RSS aggregator with an HN-like UI awhile back. https://www.evalrss.com/ https://www.evalrss.com/
- rosgoo 5y agohttps://unfeeder.com/ https://unfeeder.com/ is pretty good.
- stanislavb 5y agoDo you know how it works/collects the links?
- lcnmrn 5y agoAs the name implies, it takes feeds and brings the best from them to surface. Every click on article links counts as vote from a unique IP address. It's created by me. I enjoy the read view on Unfeeder for long articles. I don't longer use or need a feed reader since I created it.
- setgree 5y agomarginalrevolution.com has daily curated links that are IMO, generally high-quality
- chrisweekly 5y agoA couple venerable pillars: https://news.slashdot.org https://news.slashdot.org https://boingboing.net https://boingboing.net
- ramraj07 5y agoHave you visited boing boing in the last few years? It’s literal cancer.
- MerelyMortal 5y agoI used to visit it regularly until about a decade ago, but I felt too many of the posts were unnecessarily getting too political.
- MerelyMortal 5y agoI just checked out their website. It looks vastly different. It used to be mostly technical posts, and the logo even had a girl in overalls turning a wrench. The types of posts look like it has greatly changed over the years. I'm curious as to why I was downvoted. I understand why the other person was downvoted ("literal cancer"). Oh well.
- ramraj07 5y agoWhen I visited it last time, they tried to sell me a 100 dollar virus scanner app for my iPhone [1] so yeah I wasn’t exaggerating much. I’d much rather have Hodgkins Lymphoma than that site lol. https://boingboing.net/2021/09/19/clean-up-your-storage-on-your-apple-device-with-over-100-off-this-top-rated-app.html https://boingboing.net/2021/09/19/clean-up-your-storage-on-y...
- chrisweekly 5y agowtf is wrong with you. Do you know anyone with literal cancer? Use different words.
- 5y ago
- clueless 5y agoold school but still some of the best https://www.metafilter.com/ https://www.metafilter.com/
- MrsPeaches 5y agoArts and Letters Daily is a nice curated list if you are looking for something a little more arts focused: https://www.aldaily.com/ https://www.aldaily.com/
- I_complete_me 5y agoThis was my favourite website waay before the 'internet' happened!
- gao8a 5y agoi like hackaday.io but maybe thats too specific
- ship3x 5y agoIf you want shipping news: https://www.shipshipship.uk/ https://www.shipshipship.uk/
- petercooper 5y agoIt's not like those you list as there's no voting, but I maintain https://engineeringblogs.xyz/ https://engineeringblogs.xyz/ which is a river of links to posts on over 500 software engineering related blogs. There's an OPML file if you want to take the feeds into your own reader or you can submit feeds to add. Oh, I also run https://rubyflow.com/ https://rubyflow.com/ which is a MetaFilter-style linklog for the Ruby community, and somehow gets a fair few posts each day.
- peanut_worm 5y agojust a heads up, the link text for a post titled “ activerecord::Relation%23structurally_compatible?” is overflowing from its div and causing the page to scroll horizontally on iOS
- schappim 5y agoYou wouldn't happen to want to sell RubyFlow to someone who will give it the TLC it needs. I find it regularly has low quality articles (https://rubyflow.com/p/ieouvb-job-scheduling-with-resque-in-ruby-on-rails https://rubyflow.com/p/ieouvb-job-scheduling-with-resque-in-...) and often downright spam :-(
- embit 5y agohttps://embit.ca https://embit.ca is a tech news aggregator with unique tag cloud.
- jasonpeacock 5y agoA classic... https://www.fark.com/ https://www.fark.com/
- dugmartin 5y agohttps://devurls.com/ https://devurls.com/ https://techurls.com/ https://techurls.com/ https://sciurls.com/ https://sciurls.com/ (and others from the Browserling folks)
- simonw 5y agohttps://www.metafilter.com/ https://www.metafilter.com/ has been operating as a super high-quality community link blog for over 22 years now!
- LeoPanthera 5y agoAnd was already mentioned by OP.
- nickfrost 5y agohttps://blogboard.io/ https://blogboard.io/ - Engineering blogs by top tech companies
- browningstreet 5y agoI didn't know http://www.kuro5hin.org/ http://www.kuro5hin.org/ wasn't around anymore. Pouring out a sip of my iced coffee for some old memories...
- Wronnay 5y agohttps://news.python.sc https://news.python.sc for Python stuff
- jakedata 5y agohttps://www.fark.com/ https://www.fark.com/ still has snarky headlines and offbeat content but the selection of articles is quite varied, and the comment section still has quality content. Certainly better comments than the WSJ troll-fest.
- holler 5y agohttps://sqwok.im https://sqwok.im is a topical aggregator with chatrooms built into every post. Think of it like Twitter but with chat rooms instead async comments. There's no voting and the focus is on science, tech, engineering, markets, hobbies, and culture.
- kats 5y agoSoylentnews.org is a friendlier version of slashdot.
- ml-engineer 5y agoFor ML/AI related feed: https://www.sciencewiki.com/ https://www.sciencewiki.com/
- unodue 5y agohttps://feed.rekt.news/ https://feed.rekt.news/
- rambojazz 5y agolobste.rs, freepo.st On the other hand, why does this question is asked so often? I see it once a month, probably.
- thiht 5y agoCould someone send me a lobste.rs invite by any chance? I’ve been a lurker for some time but would love to contribute a bit.
- _benj 5y agoStill looking for that lobste.rs invite? Email on profile :)
- giantg2 5y agoAt least it's less often than the "what can I do about climate change as a developer" posts
- codingclaws 5y agohttps://www.peachesnstink.com https://www.peachesnstink.com It had a big HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27629543 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27629543
