That's like asking how do you keep up with online news, YouTube, TikTok, or your favorite social media platform. Answer: you don't!

You browse it occasionally and read something interesting to you, then move on. Don't worry about what you missed. There isn't enough time in the day to try and capture it all.

I don't. I mostly stopped visiting. Most of the time when I come to the site I see an another wall of useless articles about LLMs and then bounce off immediately due to boredom. Today isn't that bad but there are days where I skim the headlines and just press the [x] button instead of doing anything else.

I’ve always used RSS readers for this. It’s just the most efficient way to read. [shameless plug coming] In the last year I have developed an RSS reader optimised for people like me who read MANY feeds, which supports things like auto-expiration of old posts if you can’t keep up. And it’s free. https://feeds.downread.com/signup?i=hn-c-32513232

followed this link and used it for few days.

but today it's not updating or not getting anything from hacker news?

I'm ready to stick with you.
