Has the front pages of r/technology and HN become shockingly similar?

3 points by Pro_bity 12y ago ↗ HN

I often check out HN and r/technology back to back and I have noticed in the last week or so that the posts are almost interchangeable. Is it HN taking over Reddit, or just karma whoring from one side to the other.

They are very similar to a casual glance though as I don't read Reddit regularly I can't say more.

Funny enough I recommended this site yesterday to another question but it makes this point obvious as well. From what I can tell people submit to both sites at the same time often:

I recently self posted to Reddit (startups) and to HN. (And was gripped by self doubt - what if it is a netiquette faux pas)

The reason - the first sites I thought of. I should narrow down to forums that my target niche read but ...

Ps HN got 50 visits and one up vote, Reddit 200 and one up vote. So I need to go to writing school.

If you remove the political and non technical articles from HN, yes they are quite similar. There have been a few posts I've seen on /r/technology which I haven't noticed on HN.
