Digg committed suicide and reddit filled the vacuum, and was actually great for a while (it hasn't been for a long long time, but it was great when it started).

Digg committed suicide and reddit filled the vacuum, and was actually great for a while (it hasn't been for a long long time, but it was great when it started). Fingers crossed something good will arise to fill this vacuum?
- scottyah 4y agoI was on the digg to reddit move, and hn has replaced reddit for me now. I still enjoy the compact views with longer, more thoughtful posts. I worry about when more reddit-type content hits this site and maybe new management changes the styling.
- simonblack 4y agoI prefer HN to reddit overall. But what I like about reddit is that you can select the subreddit(s) of your choice and get rid of all that other extraneous stuff. That doesn't appear to be available in HN. Having said that, I use my browser bookmarks to select those subreddits, rather than actually subscribing to them.
