Ask HN: Hacker News is for tech, as X is for Y?

IMO, the bigger the subreddit, the worse off you are. And like some other fora, you get 'expert' cultist like people who parrot terrible advice.

Talking with actual workers in a field is super valuable...I think that's what makes HN great - most of us work in tech.

With Reddit, you get tons of 'oh, I like guitars, I'll join that' people giving advice instead of say, professional musicians or luthiers.

Note: I didn't mean to insult r/guitars, I've never been, just used it as an example.

True, but too small isn't great either. /r/opencv or /r/ComputerVision or /r/JetsonNano rarely have more than 3-10 replies to any post. Too hyper-specific?
