There is https://lobste.rs which is great (not a subreddit but it's very similar)

I found Lobsters some time ago through my blog analytics when one of my posts got some traffic from there. Reached out to my (limited) personal network in the tech sphere to see if I could land an invite, but nobody had ever heard of it. Didn't feel comfortable messaging random users for one, so I gave up. If anyone is monitoring this thread and sending invites, I'd love to have one.

Unfortunately that sub is as politically left as it can get. Downvotes galore if you dare to disagree with the agenda of identity politics. Best part: they upvoted and agreed with NPR that lefties are impervious to fake news and can quickly spot it because of their superior reasoning skills.
