Earlier quoted context omitted.

You don't learn to ride a bike by avoiding bikes :) Nonetheless, it's totally understandable.

Hahaha, trust me, I have health anxiety because I've ridden that bike way too many times and are currently undergoing through the process of riding it even further :/

Since this seems to be more serious than expected, do you mind getting in touch? We want to see how we can help.

Looks neat. If it’s going to be like HN, then it needs the front page to have posts voted beyond a threshold. Right now it shows the latest, which is like going to the “new” section on HN and seeing all the submissions pouring in and waiting to appear on the front page. Maybe the front page showing top posts with recency could help. Health is another area where there’s a lot of clickbait articles and spam. So control…

Tangential: I looked at other "Hacker News for X" sites and a lot of those links are now dead — https://hn.algolia.com/?query="hacker%20news%20for"&sort=byP...

I appreciate the use of Discourse for this project, but unless the community is substantially similar to HN I don't see the value. A nontrivial number of links on HN deal with health (I'm thinking about recent stories related to dietary habits, sleep quality, and depression). And while these also appear elsewhere (Reddit, Twitter e.g), what I really value are the comments from this community that are well-moderated a…

Thanks for your feedback!

I think we totally agree. Our sole goal, as stated here: https://news.nukleosome.com/t/welcome-to-health-news/7 is to evolve this into a community that is as high quality as HN is. But HN wasn't HN on its day one. Speaking of which, here's a legendary post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1 ;)
