https://github.com/mmccaff/PlacesToPostYourStartup They've put together a very comprehensive list of places to post your startup, and some will certainly be relevant to just side projects etc. Depending on what you're looking to showcase. This will certainly be one source I'll look to, for what I launch my side project.

I've had some great luck promoting http://oppsdaily.com with some of the subreddits mentioned. In addition, http://reddit.com/r/financialindependence does a weekly self-promotion thread which has been a nice little bump in traffic. https://www.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/comments/5y7b...

Kudos on Opps Daily, big fan here, it's great!

I made a Discord channel [1] for startups and entrepreneurs. The goal is to have a place to hangout, share ideas, and chat with similarly ambitious people. It's pretty new, but every time someone in there has posted their site people have checked it out and given feedback.

A good place to get some exposure pre-launch: https://betalist.com/

Edit: here's an IFTTT recipe to get an email when a new startup is posted. So far this has been my main interface with betalist https://ifttt.com/applets/13031p-email-me-when-a-new-startup...

I have been on http://lobste.rs for quite a while now it's a small community with quality stories. But you need an invite to join.

The programming discussions are really sad there.

Can you explain? I've found it more focused on systems and security than HN, but it seems like a generally smart and capable crowd.
