Didn't know about Tildes, seems interesting.

#13What do you mean when you say that Reddit is too mainstream for you?
I mostly read RSS feeds and hang out on Mastodon. I don't really chat anywhere anymore, not since I left the last IRC channel years ago. I occasionally miss it, but haven't found anything that comes close enough.

#14Honestly, reddit. There is loads of garbage but some subreddits are just gold, like the data engineering subreddit.
could you and some others list some of the subreddits worth visiting?
Re: Ask HN: Where do you browse and chat outside of here?
#15Discord for online hobbies.
Real life (and associated group chats) for social interaction. Board game group, local motorcycling group, some other friends.

Basically a second chance front-page for days old HN news.

#17A little bit on TwitchTV, a little bit on Discord, and a little on Reddit, but, honestly, I feel pretty lonely on the Internet these days.
I've been on Reddit for over 15 years and yeah, it feels quite different than it did early on. I can't really stand browsing r/all or r/popular at all.
I miss the days of having 255 friends on AIM, trout slaps on well-populated mIRC channels, and never-ending threads on niche Ultimate Bulletin Board forums.

#18This question comes up from time to time, only to prove on each iteration there is nothing like HN.

They are part of the "smolnet" if I am using that terminology correctly (including the Gemini protocol https://geminiprotocol.net/). Other sites I will browse or lurk include, Lemmy (join-lemmy.org) Reddit alternative, Mastodon, BlueSky, SDF.org 's IRC, Matrix, some Telegram communities, lobste.rs, HN and ideally IRL at 2600 meetings https://www.2600.com/meetings, conferences, Linux User Groups (LUGs) etc. I still browse Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram occasionally. For 1:1 communication I most often use SMS texting/iMessage, regular phone calls, FaceTime video, and Facebook Messenger to talk to other American friends, family, etc. To talk with technical people and folks abroad, I'll use email, Telegram, Viber, Skype, Signal, WhatsApp, and rarely Instagram Messenger, all of which I need to get better at staying on top of.
