Is this “hacker news”-esque in terms of being a social bookmarking site? I don’t see much by way of the same topics, and don’t think the difference is only whether it’s Indy or not.

nope, I prefer open in new tab by default
And people who prefer the other way can just hold down _____ while clicking to open it in the current tab instead. Good ol' _____-clicking saves the day again!
only on a mac, and probably only on safari which leaves the majority of people in the lurch.

#63The Briefings have been most useful for me. It feels more curated and less firehose-y. https://bubbles.town/briefing
Would love a version of this on HN.

#64I think the links should open in the same window (like they do here on HN) instead of in a new tab/window. If I want a separate tab, I can Cmd+click and Browsers don't have the reverse option for opening in the same window.

I too prefer that, but i don't want to force that choice on othet people.
CTRL+left click is ingrained in me now anyway.

#65Bubbles dev here, thanks for the mention
Any plans to add Lemmy federation? It would be nice to be able to follow it as a Lemmy community since it works like a federated hn/Reddit.

> (didn’t resonate), although mine is purely based on AI scoring One reason for it not resonating might be that it’s yet another opaque algorithmic feed in a moment in time where people are getting sick and tired of them and wary of their manipulative features. And HN is so inundated with AI submissions that having yet another Show HN about it is uninteresting to many. Would you visit HN if it were just a link aggreg…

It's based on votes mainly. This is covered in the FAQ [1] and the exact algorithm has also been shared in the past [2].

100% agree. I had to install a browser extension when I use HN with such (vs app on android, when it does it by default), just to force open links to new tabs.

Just glanced at the front page - it seems to be very "blog posts about blogging" (4 out of the top 5 posts right now). Is it always like that? The "My" tab looks like it covers the same ground as a feed reader would. I wonder who the audience is for that feature.
Is blogging always like that? Always has been.
From memory, there was a long tail of blogs like that way back when, but a core of solid, interesting content. I have an expectation that an aggregator would bubble the interesting stuff up, and the self-referential stuff down. But maybe this is just content the audience finds interesting.

I do as well, but I think it's good practice to put something like in a user preference setting somewhere if you are going to stray from default browser/system behavior.

Too bad it's so hard to submit a suggested blog.
