A better HN than HN in some ways. Much better S:N ratio, less groupthink. But, much much quieter, and irksome posting restrictions.
You needed an invite last I checked which explains the quietness part.

Hi, ResearchBuzz wrangler here. Thanks for the mention. ResearchBuzz.me is for aggregating news items twice a day along with search articles and resource announcements. If you want thoroughly-tagged resources delivered one at a time, you want ResearchBuzz Firehose ( https://rbfirehose.com/ ). I've written an article on how to set up keyword-based RSS feeds for Firehose to make your monitoring as efficient as possible…
I've had your site bookmarked forever (10 years maybe?). I admire your perseverence. You took on the work of tracking things like 'Tupelo, MS public library has posted a collection of farm equipment photographs from 1922-1935' and so forth without fail for years.
Glad I could help.

Re: Ask HN: What sites are similar to Hacker News?
#24Reddit gets a bad rep but many communities are great. Obviously the UX sucks but there are workarounds. Some subs are moderated more strictly than HN, many less so, so there is a mix. There is nothing quite like HN but you could join a mix of subs to get the same spectrum of programming, science, tech and a touch of politics.

You still do. 2 different people invited me, which is why I thought it worth a look.
But a lot of sites started like that, even Gmail.
