Other sites like HN?
Looking for other sites like HN where articles and other interesting bits of information are shared. Hope this is ok to post! Thanks!
- themodelplumber 5y agoThere are a lot...many will be better once you add their filters or join the right sections/communities. Steemit Lemmy Raddle Reddit Tildes Metafilter Lancebase Folkd Pythonic news Echo js Littr.me 20-things Lobste.rs Hackaday Southgate amateur radio news Soylent news Kottke.org Federated thingies like Mastodon (Drum roll please...) Facebook groups Twitter lists Email lists
- kreid1 5y agoThis is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
- bussiere 5y agoMay i ask for a tildes invite ? Thanks
- cyansmoker 5y agoI am very curious about Facebook groups: did you find good ones? My experience with Facebook content has been total garbage and I'd like to know if my experience is just circumstantial.
- netizen-936824 5y agoThere are some solid communities but for me it wasn't worth the price of being on that dumpster fire
- themodelplumber 5y agoYep, there are some amazing FB groups out there still. Some of them are even still Public groups, which I lurk in only because of how the Public model works, but the content is incredible. SF books, SF movies, wargaming, some linuxes, specific ham radio models, specific niche meme groups too, and that's just what I've found useful. But also it's a terrific environment for retro things. Retro TTRPGs, programming languages you used to use a lot, stores you used to like, even. (If you're into art, be sure to check out art and artist groups/pages. People wonder where Flickr went and it's right there, not Instagram.) Keep in mind that some of these groups actively use their Files and Photos sections which can be like gold. FB's participation model does incentivize things like simple brigading & passive-aggressive behavior, though (IMO), so it's also a good idea to get a feel for the quality of discourse and moderation before diving in if you are interested in participating rather than lurking. It's really too bad the participation model has to be so static across the entire platform, because some of the groups are one or two customizations/tweaks away from being really epic with regard to community particpation. You could solve a lot of the social problems there with a more dynamic approach to the software design & provisioning.
- tpoindex 5y agoIf you want multiple in the same page: https://devurls.com/ https://devurls.com/ https://sciurls.com/ https://sciurls.com/ https://techurls.com/ https://techurls.com/ I mainly stick to HN, Lobste.rs, and a few tech related Reddits.
- 8bitsrule 5y agoCouple more: https://theweblist.net/ https://theweblist.net/ https://readspike.com/ https://readspike.com/
- raffraffraff 5y agoAdvice to myself (a while back when I wondered the same thing)... put the phone down once you've reached the end of page 1, and the first page of new submissions. Life is for living, tech is for 'doing', and anything more than 20 minutes online is procrastination. You're a different person with different requirements, but I thought I'd just throw in my 2c. PS: I rarely keep it to 20 minutes a day but I try
- jcun4128 5y agoI think about this too regarding being a producer vs. consumer Still I get to the point where I can't think/function anymore, and then find something to do/surf something/get those points
- netizen-936824 5y agoSomething to keep in mind is that this is a balance, like everything else in life. As humans we are integration machines. We need to take in novel information in order to combine it and produce new novel information. HN definitely helps with that, as the bullshit here is at a minimum with interesting technical information all over the place. Its honestly a gold mine, similar to what Slashdot was in yesteryear. I have a similar question to OP: when HN dies like Slashdot, what's next? Honestly my guess is that I won't get a solid answer in this thread, but some time after HN dies I'll just find myself on the next thing just like I found HN years after I left Slashdot

- crate_barre 5y agoThis question makes me feel like HN is becoming lame.
- kreid1 5y agoThis reply makes me feel like you’re lame.
- analognoise 5y agoWe are all lame on this blessed day after the Eternal September.
- brudgers 5y agoAs a gateway to YC, Eternal September is a feature not a bug...HN is designed for people who are continuously curious about new things. Unlike a Usenet group, there's not a topic silo. The cure for seeing 'the same old thing weariness' is submitting something that isn't the same old thing.

- rafiki6 5y agoTwitter, but you really need to spend your time crafting your feed and figuring out how to get around the algorithm pigeonholing you.
- Jeff_Brown 5y agoHow does one do that?
- cliffordfajardo 5y agoIf you curate your twitter using Twitter’s “List” feature you can create some great productive feeds I’ve been using it for 3-4 years, I recommend checking it out if you haven’t I use it to curate my tech news. Some example lists I have - Data Visualization - systems programming - Frontend engineering - NodeJS - Databases - Dev Conferences - etc.. -
- hidden-spyder 5y agoWould you mind sharing your lists?
- errantmind 5y agoIf a person did feel like they needed a HN alternative, they wouldn't share it in response to a question on HN.
- zingplex 5y agohttps://lobste.rs https://lobste.rs is the only one I think that would really compare
- _8j50 5y agoSend us layfolk an invite?
- mattowen_uk 5y agoI can - send me an email.
- powerbroker 5y agoI like to think of this site as 'pre news'. Its intended for artfully crafted, Rube Goldberg-esque ideas, that have some merit for a microscopic minority, of a) billionaires and/or b) comedians; c) and/or James Bond villains. https://www.halfbakery.com https://www.halfbakery.com
