Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit, etc are all social networks; they are not specialized communities like HN is. It sounds like you're looking for a smaller specialized community moreso than a big social network. That said, a social network's home page is rarely representative of the value most people get out of it, that's down to the networks and curation you set up yourself. I mean open up Youtube in an anonymous profile. It's all caps football reporting, all caps "challenges" from influencers, Russian, shorts of double-cropped old videos with 50m views, music videos of people unknown to me, etc. Nothing I'm interested in, and yet I frequent youtube when I'm signed in.
