Ask HN: more sites like HN
I run out reading material pretty quick on HN and then I'm left wondering where I can find submissions just like on HN. Where do you go after you exhaust HN?

- crusso 15y agoI've almost completely stopped reading /. since I was turned on to HN last summer. 1. /. has too much Popular Science-ish golly-gee-whizz hoax-level never-gonna-see-the-light-of-day crap that seem to only be vehicles for sucker investments. 2. /. users are more from the video game playing IT nerd in his mom's basement crowd that has very few life experiences outside of Azeroth. The comments sections are almost always a poorly modded, troll filled mess. Ugh, and the politics threads are particularly bad.

- samaraga 15y agoReddit's subreddits are really a nice place to be. Not the funny/wtf/vidoes/politics etc, which will overwhelm you quite fast. There are some really useful subreddit which are of good quality, but because of their smaller sizes, are difficult to know about. I feel these subreddits are worth a try: compsci (http://www.reddit.com/r/compsci http://www.reddit.com/r/compsci) explainlikeiamfive (http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/ http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/) programming (http://www.reddit.com/r/programming http://www.reddit.com/r/programming) (There are a links to other subreddits of similar type in the sidebars of these reddits, which can be further explored). One caveat is that lots of articles/links/posts from those places turn up here at HN as well. So there is factor of duplicates involved. All any of your interests might have its own subreddit. If it exists and there isn't too much trash, those can be looked at.
- rplnt 15y agoSome more that people here could find interesting: http://www.reddit.com/r/python+ruby+php+perl+javascript http://www.reddit.com/r/python+ruby+php+perl+javascript http://www.reddit.com/r/webdev+web_design+browsers+operabrowser+chrome+firefox http://www.reddit.com/r/webdev+web_design+browsers+operabrow... http://www.reddit.com/r/android+androiddev+androidapps http://www.reddit.com/r/android+androiddev+androidapps Merged them together by groups and added even some I don't frequent (but related to the group). You can open them separately from right-hand menu to see their topics (and many more interesting links). And one obligatory: http://www.reddit.com/r/startups http://www.reddit.com/r/startups :)

- debacle 15y agoreadwriteweb.com is useful if you're interested in startup news. They've had a lot of really good coverage of SXSW, and have had a lot of good insight into Apple, Pinterest, Facebook, and Google's social strategy lately. Some days I'll go and not see a single article I'm interested in, but there will be others when there's 3-5 compelling articles that teach me something about the industry that I didn't know before, simply by presenting something from a different angle.
- WillyF 15y agoRand Fishkin and Dharmesh Shah started Inbound.org - http://inbound.org/ http://inbound.org/ - to be a similar community for online marketing. The links posted are pretty good, but so far the comments aren't adding a ton of value. Hopefully that will improve.
- leon_ 15y agoI don't think the comments will get better. It's a SEO site after all and you just need to take a look at sphinn.com to see what happens if you cater to a community of spammers and shadowy salesmen.
- polyfractal 15y agoI don't think this is a fair comment. I don't consider someone like Patrick McKenzie to be a "spammer" or "shadowy salesman", but I do consider him to be very good at SEO, copywriting and marketing. HN has a weird doublethink when it comes to SEO/marketing. We are all "hoorah!" startups, but how dare you try to make your site more appealing to a potential customer. Sure, there are tons of scammers that use SEO...but there are tons of scammers in every field.
- leon_ 15y ago> try to make your site more appealing to a potential customer No problem with that but spamming google with bought links, etc. isn't what exactly makes a site appealing to customers.

- Vergle 15y agoAnd only facebook too... It's a great service though.
- harel 15y agoI am constantly logged on to Quora so haven't seen the login form for ages, but I don't remember it was Facebook login only. I have a regular old school login there. I certainly don't link or join anything that forces me to link my Facebook account to it.
- mad44 15y agoIt is not facebook only. I don't use facebook. I don't remember now, but I may have logged in with Twitter authentication.
- merryandrew 15y agoSee "I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account."
- krelian 15y agoAre you checking the new page? A cursory look shows that 30 new links were posted in the last 19 minutes. Either you're a very fast reader or looking for a very specific kind of content.
- adityar 15y agothat's true. I do skip over some links. I am eclectic but i end up hitting the limit anyway.
- stevengg 15y agoNothing like HN but if im looking for something to read i will check http://aldaily.com/ http://aldaily.com/ http://reddit.com/r/truereddit http://reddit.com/r/truereddit http://longform.org/ http://longform.org/ http://grantland.com/ http://grantland.com/ for sports

- rbxbx 15y agoDoes litlet have an official or 3rd party rss feed? A quick search turned up nothing of note.
- padobson 15y ago+1 for Grantland. Simmons should have become an Editor-in-Chief of separate (if not autonomous) sports site years ago.

- duck 15y agoYou might find my Hacker Newsletter project (http://hackernewsletter.com http://hackernewsletter.com) useful if you're not on HN all the time. It comes out every Friday. In addition to that, I'm working on another newsletter that will provide even more reading on a daily basis. Details on that will be in next week's issue. :)
- c16 15y agoJust subscribed. You should have a 'Tweet this' button after entering your email- I'd tweet it out :)
- duck 15y agoI'm actually working on that right now, but thanks for the reminder!
- andylei 15y ago> useful if you're not on HN all the time i think that's the opposite of this guy's problem
- duck 15y agoYeah, I was being more general and answering the "find submissions just like on HN" question (you can't get any closer to that than with other links on HN that you missed). A lot of the feedback I get from subscribers is how they enjoy the newsletter b/c even though they're on HN, they miss a lot of the articles I link to.
- iamgopal 15y agoI like the idea, could save me couple of hours a week. good bye hn.
- devgutt 15y agoClick in "more" in the bottom of the HN page.
- kylemaxwell 15y agoI go to my blog editor so I produce stuff that's like the stuff I want to read, instead of just consuming more.

- why-el 15y agoI personally are more interested in the comments, and I bet you cannot exhaust those very quickly. In some cases the comments are so long and tree-y you forget what the original link was about.
- iamgopal 15y agoand after trying all answers, - some masturbation sessions for real exhaustion.
- karterk 15y agoTo me, HN is as much as about the community here as it is with the kind of news I get. Sometimes, I get more value from the discussions on HN than a few articles on the front-page put together. We have some amazing people here. THAT - is very very hard to reproduce.
- davidw 15y agoThe Economist: http://www.economist.com http://www.economist.com - or get a Kindle and load up on books.
- edwinnathaniel 15y agoI suppose you like to spend a lot of time reading eh? I'd say newspapers would be a good source. New York Times. CNN. BBC. Economist. Inc. Entrepreneur. Hm... maybe I should provide contents more for people like you :D

- minimax 15y agohttp://reader.google.com http://reader.google.com When you find a post you like on HN, add it to your RSS reader. I find my reader feed to be generally more interesting and relevant than the HN frontpage, but I keep coming back to HN for new sources.
- xekul 15y agoFor cultural rather than technical news, with an intelligent and vibrant community, Metafilter: http://www.metafilter.com http://www.metafilter.com
- georgieporgie 15y agoAnother vote for Metafilter. It seems to be entirely populated with quirky, positive people. It's like the anti-Reddit. HN is just about perfect for my technical news, since other sites become a rabbit hole of useless tech consumption.

How long?" kind.

- eneveu 15y agoI'm going to play devil's advocate here, but I don't see how you can run out of reading material on HN. I use Jeff Miller's newsyc50 feed (which contains all submissions with more than 50 points), and I have a hard time keeping up... http://feeds.feedburner.com/newsyc50 http://feeds.feedburner.com/newsyc50 --> 265 posts per week (according to Google Reader) http://feeds.feedburner.com/newsyc20 http://feeds.feedburner.com/newsyc20 --> 400 posts per week (according to Google Reader) That said, the question is still interesting. I'd like to find sites similar to HN focusing on other themes.
