Please consider posting on aysabtu. I'm also a single founder and I'd really like to get more self posts going.
We also have a semi-active Single Founders Braintrust going. Let me know if you want to join. Great place to discuss and get feedback on early stuff.

Simplest solution: add down-voting to submissions as well as comments. Then people can downvote the super off-topic and repeats.
I love browsing through a tons of different subreddits that have now matured and grown very interesting. In decreasing order of interest to me: http://www.reddit.com/r/somethingimade/ http://www.reddit.com/r/longtext/ http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/ http://www.reddit.com/r/PhilosophyofScience/ http://www.reddit.com/r/cogsci/ http://www.reddit.com/r/startups/ http://www.reddit.com/r/math/ http://www.reddit.com/r/…
"Once a week I spend a few minutes looking for new interesting subreddits. http://www.reddit.com/r/newreddits/ helps with that too." It seems pointless to subscribe to new subreddits since you don't know whether they'll have traction. How can you find 'trending' subreddits? Or am I thinking about this all wrong?
A small niche mailinglist is probably the closest thing to a real online community, for two reasons:
- relevant emails always get read by everyone in the mailing list - people read emails anyway, so there's less step involved as suppose to going to a website to read posts.
But a conventional mailinglist is not scalable - some of the lists I'm in get so many posts everyday that I become de-sensitzed to them.
There's a solution however.
The way to keep the posts relevant is to sub-categorize them much like subreddit, but that's also work and it's manual. That's where NLP and machine learning comes in so that the system can learn your preference and only email you the relevant posts. Of course, you also get an option to receive less-relevant posts too.
(I should probably make this into a post as suppose to a comment.)

And it's gone...
It would be a shame if someone grabbed it just because the parent comment posted them. My first instinct is "Cool, I want those" but my second instinct kicks in quickly as says "don't be a dick."

If any of the subreddit starts to get too popular and mainstream, usually 2-3 new subreddits popup that are more specific and interesting. Bingo! I think this is the solution to the eternal September effect on communities. You get a super nice place like reddit when it was new and shiny and over time it gets taken over by trolls. So you move on to startup news , then hacker news , but soon that is filled with generic…
Ever since my last two submissions(interesting technical articles which should appeal to hackers imho) sank without a trace, I have been looking for an alternative myself. I wonder if (and this maybe blasphemy) whether three distinct sub-yc s for hacking/startups/other-intellectually-interesting-stuff may not solve the problem.
