Ask HN: Discovering HN type sites for other interests

8 points by jmspring ↗ HN
There have been some interesting articles that pop up here from time to time that are outside the technical focus. I often find them interesting and enlightening - especially some of the archaeological related ones.

That said, a non-tech person I sometimes send some of those articles to was asking me if I knew of or how to find sites that have some of the same traits - high quality submissions, an active audience - for other areas.

For instance - history, cooking, or plants might be very general areas. It seems like Reddit is a popular spot for such. But any thoughts on discovering high-content sites in other, non-tech, areas?

I'd be interested in a music composition site as such.

Ten years and sometimes other things come up. But looking through the links, Reddit is the common one, which I mentioned. Sometimes it is useful to ask again.

But your account of 39 days in helpful to remind me of reddit.

agree, why people tend to be so closed minded. Internet space is infinite and every fee months new stuff coming up that may be exact answer to the wuestion

Like a Hackernews for $topic? I've always wanted to see that. Recently someone asked if there is a Hackernews for web3, which would be great! Most of the community here maintain a (healthy) skepticism of web3 and NFTs (many people concluding Ethereum/NFTs are a ponzicoin). With a dedicated forum just for web3, it would filter out all the skeptics and just focus on healthy unbiased discourse.
