Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit?

#42Reddit scrubs the identity out of many communities/topics. I have found much deeper and meaningful discussion on focused forums. For almost any topic with any significant interest there is a non Reddit forum or community that is deeper and more customized. Not always, but usually. Just support those communities and forums. Example, mtgsalvation is by far better to visit for meaningful MTG deck building and discussion…
One of reddit's strengths is that you could build a community within reddit, reusing existing resources and users. Its like an incubator for user-created forums.
Compared to building and managing a forum, reddit provides much easier ways to create a community.

It seems highly unlikely that that will be supported for very long past the final launch of the new design.
I don't know - the "reddit disguised as work" site http://codereddit.com/ and the Android app Reddit is Fun have been running off the API for nearly a decade.

#44Steemit, upvote via tokens and make money by getting upvotes. Already alexa rank 1000
Is Steemit using an incentivized blockchain structure (like the "cryptocurrencies" Bitcoin, Ethereum's Ether et al; Pyramid-Ponzi scheme), where the value/cost to purchase their tokens increases with demand or based on a price someone sets?
If it's running on incentivized crypto-asset structure then I personally feel unless you're wanting to take advantage of uneducated/unaware population, whereby as the value/price of the crypto-assets go up then society's wealth is unreasonable/unnecessarily reallocated weighted towards the earliest adopters, then I personally won't be using such services. I started to read their whitepaper and it looks like they're attempting to create a "stable coin", however those inherently seem to have similar problematic issues.

#45There is also a subreddit dedicated to alternatives https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
Isn't Voat infested with the_donald refugees?
Enough to say that if someone's looking for a reddit replacement because they don't want racism, voat is not the answer.
There is probably a niche for which a stripped down HN-like forum with moderation but for general discussion might be moderately successful.. moreso if it provides a robust API that allows for third party clients.
Maybe self-hosted forums will make a comeback.

#47This one https://steemit.com/ is interesting... would be more interesting if the percentage of non-cryptocurrency-related articles were higher.

#48Since there's a lot of talk about rss feeds on hn nowadays, you can also subscribe to any individual subreddit by adding "/.rss" to the end of the url (e.g. "reddit.com/r/subreddit/.rss"). I've been weaning myself off reddit, but there are some subreddits that I still want to follow, and rss is a fine compromise.

How its not filled with paid ads?
The platform seems interesting technically, but what prevents them from being swamped with promoted content/ads/blatant spam?
