That may be true about Django, but not the other two.
Reddit being a YC-backed company, it always has been a hot topic here on HN. Maybe less now than a few years back but the same HNers are still here.
And as for Lisp, it has always been a hot topic on HN too. Many people know HN via PG who they discovered for his Lisp writings. HN is itself written in a Lisp dialect. And Lisp related stories appear monthly on the frontpage, maybe weekly if we take all Scheme and Emacs related links into account. Just take a look at the search results for the past week with any Lisp related keyword.
