- lproven 2y agoA better HN than HN in some ways. Much better S:N ratio, less groupthink. But, much much quieter, and irksome posting restrictions.
- byyll 2y agoYou needed an invite last I checked which explains the quietness part.
- lproven 2y agoYou still do. 2 different people invited me, which is why I thought it worth a look. But a lot of sites started like that, even Gmail.
- hosteur 2y agoYou do need an invite. I see this as a feature - not a bug. It massively cuts down on spam. And also makes removing spammers much easier due to the fact that it is not just invite only - it also has a public invite tree. So a spammer cannot just make 100s invites for sock puppets. They are trivially eliminated as well.
- byyll 2y agoI don't have anything against it. It's just one of the reasons for being quieter.

- dryanau 2y agoI clicked around a couple of links within that site and it looks like an absolute dog's breakfast on my mobile.
- ironmagma 2y agoDon't worry, it looks that way on desktop too.
- seanhunter 2y agoIn what way is that an answer to the question "What sites are similar to Hacker News"? I'm honestly curious.

- DaSHacka 2y ago/g/ is like the opposite of Hacker News Unless you're looking for racist NEETs that hate iToddlers and Indians, warship stallman and a certain cabin man while using their computers for nothing but watching anime and running LLMs to make their perfect AI anime waifu.
- vsnf 2y agoIt’s heartwarming to hear that /g/ has apparently not changed even one iota from when I last looked at it in high school 15 years ago.

- Calishat 2y agoHi, ResearchBuzz wrangler here. Thanks for the mention. ResearchBuzz.me is for aggregating news items twice a day along with search articles and resource announcements. If you want thoroughly-tagged resources delivered one at a time, you want ResearchBuzz Firehose ( https://rbfirehose.com/ https://rbfirehose.com/ ). I've written an article on how to set up keyword-based RSS feeds for Firehose to make your monitoring as efficient as possible ( https://researchbuzz.me/2015/06/23/introducing-the-researchbuzz-firehose-how-to-use-it/ https://researchbuzz.me/2015/06/23/introducing-the-researchb... ). Both ResearchBuzz and RB Firehose are free and free of ads. Thank you again for your interest.
- BMc2020 2y agoI've had your site bookmarked forever (10 years maybe?). I admire your perseverence. You took on the work of tracking things like 'Tupelo, MS public library has posted a collection of farm equipment photographs from 1922-1935' and so forth without fail for years. Glad I could help.

- feydaykyn 2y agoI guess the question is: what are the differences with HN ?
- yahoobing 2y agoReddit gets a bad rep but many communities are great. Obviously the UX sucks but there are workarounds. Some subs are moderated more strictly than HN, many less so, so there is a mix. There is nothing quite like HN but you could join a mix of subs to get the same spectrum of programming, science, tech and a touch of politics.
- megamike 2y agothank you all very much as I approach my 70th decade (been online since 1986?) I am still learning/trying to keep up with the pack this is all wonderful again thank you
