from the ask-hn dept.

I love Hacker News. So much so that I can't get enough.

What other HN-like sites are out there? By HN-like I mean

A. Digg style submissions. B. Latest Internet technology. C. Web development. D. Hacker culture.

I've been pretty fascinated with the IAmA subreddit lately.

I want to figure out how to get that out of my rss feed. I think that subreddit is destroying the place....

(and I know how to turn it off my front page, just not the rss feed).

I use Yahoo Pipes to filter feeds from reddit. Works pretty well for me.

+1... You learn quite a lot about a wide array of professions, conditions, life experiences, etc.

Some times I go to the programmer Reddit but 9 times out of ten the page is close enough to identical to HN new that I just check here.

Engadget, Hack a Day, Hacked Gadgets for my hardware news, but it's pretty tough to beat HN. You can always use an RSS reader and sync with all of the blogs that get most often linked to here.

I try to visit prog.reddit every week or so. But I find most comments there to be highly annoying and child-like.

I think HN has their niche covered.
