I have found only two such sites so far: 1) reddit - here, you have to subscribe to the right mix of subreddits according to your interests 2) Google+ - also quite good, but one needs to do some work, namely to find the right communities, pages and people to follow. But if you are asking about sites with the same "genre" as HN (the same functionality), then no, I haven't found alternative to HN.

> Google+ - also quite good, but one needs to do some work, namely to find the right communities could you link? I subscribed to some lang/framework/os ones, but didn't find much value there and found it's better to follow people. if you got some it would be nice.

> reddit - here, you have to subscribe to the right mix of subreddits according to your interests Can you recommend some subreddits beside /r/programming and the subreddits mentioned in the sidebar of /r/programming)? I have not found a generic software engineering subreddit (probably without any web development content), which is quite strange.

    /r/webdev just rehashes the stuff posted on HN.

  Some of my subreddits, with a slight theoretical slant: coding, cognitivelinguistics, cogsci, compsci, compscipapers, criticalsoftware, crypto, erlang, gamedev, haskell, icfpcontest, MachineLearning, mathpsych, netsec, ReverseEngineering, systems, truegamedev, types

  /r/functionalprogramming is small but active, which is rare and seems to work well for it.
