Hacker News Reader

I know...it seems that they might be the antithesis, but Reddit just never struck a cord for me.

I like Reddit. It feels like a community, unlike Digg.

As far as I'm concerned it's been going downhill fast since Digg collapsed though.

I stopped visiting the main reddit page a few years ago and stuck to proggit since then, but that also seems to have suffered a lot recently.

Does anyone know if the ex-proggit folks just moved somewhere else?

/r/netsec remains a great community. /r/coding is low-traffic, but aggressively moderated and has good content/people. /r/web_design is a lot like a slightly more informal version of Hacker News. /r/webdev is very small, but hey, it might pick up.

Then there are lots of specific communities you can sign up for depending on your religious beliefs that have various values... /r/emacs /r/vim /r/haskell etc. most of the language specific subreddits have decent traffic.
