I really like Tildes https://tildes.net/ which is less focused, more about everything (god I wish I could frontpage an article about sports on HN) but has a much higher ratio of discussions to links (e.g. Ask HN is a joke) I have invites.

would love an invite too. cheers!

Twitter is actually pretty cool if you find the right people to follow in the topics you’re interested in.

You can also make lists of such people so they’re separate from your main feed.

It does feel harder to comment on stuff though. Not sure why?

Would love an invite if you have an extra!

A previous time this was asked on HN, someone linked to these, which I quite like: https://sciurls.com/ https://mathurls.com/ https://techurls.com/ https://finurls.com/ https://physurls.com/ https://devurls.com/ https://hwurls.com/ https://tuxurls.com/

don't need to save all of these, they all belong to the same network, just check their menu icon on top right

Anyone who wants one should look up my profile and send me an email. I have three right now and they will go to whoever sends me the first three emails. I will get around to it this evening.

I’ve friends say this but I haven’t figured out how to make it work. It takes so much time to sort and filter and there’s no way to get a proper “feed” without constantly scrolling through crap that’s injected.

I asked a friend to show me and he walked me through their workflow and it boiled down to “spend hours on twitter everyday and some decent percent is manually filtering.”

HN has an easy interface -front page. I can hide things I’ve read and I don’t see them again, or I can leave them to read later. And comments are threaded. Twitter doesn’t seem to have these things.

I'd like an invite too! Email is on my profile page.
