Ask HN: Too much to read on HN

2 points by ankit84 11y ago ↗ HN

I find that HN community is bringing too good articles, blogs, SHOW HN, advice, libraries, demos, etc on front page. However I am not able to cop with all this information.

I want to read all, but do not have time and end up upvoting+saving for later read which I never ever open again.

What would be your advice? How do I control my desirableness to know new things?

Should HN tag some of the stores as 'advice', 'lib/package', 'news', just like 'Show HN' and 'Ask HN'? and I can subscribe to all advice tag.

I'm a big fan of HN Digest. Weekly email of the top stories, not great for discovering content that didn't make the top spot, but it's useful to catch up when I'm too busy to hop on throughout the week.

First world problem !

Yes, it is like trying to drink from a firehose. I find that the only solution is to skim the headlines and only read what is relevant to my work and immediate interests. Just have to accept that I will never read or know everything.
