Ask HN: More sites like HN? 1300 days later

8 points by polym ↗ HN
So, 1300 days ago adityar [1] asked which pages you visit to find interesting submissions, when you've exhausted HN.

What does HN browse now, 1300 days later?

Interesting to see how many of those links now are dead, point to spam sites or something completely different.

HN would be much better if it allowed the creation of "subReddits" as Reddit does. Currently, you cannot browse HN by topic (or subReddit) as you can Reddit or Slashdot or Voat.

I'm sure that's intentional, to prevent the creation of bubble filters in the community. HN is already going to select for a very narrow range of people, so it does no good to further exclude parts of the community from potentially interesting content.

As long as the main user base doesn't grow too large, then there should be enough on the Front page each day for everyone to find something of interest and be able to participate in comments.
