Ask HN: Do you know of an HN for general topics?

1 pointskarjaluoto3y ago1 comments

I’m not a developer. As such, a lot of what’s posted to HN isn’t relevant to my life or work.

That said, this is one of a few sites I visit every day—largely for the more off-topic links that are just interesting.

I find myself often wishing for a simple link site like HN that surfaced interesting articles on varying topics.

Admittedly, I could use an app like flipboard, but I find those loaded in a lot of clickbait. Part of why I like HN so much is that the more salacious posts are moderated out. I also like that it’s text-only.

I’m curious if anyone here has spotted something of the sort.

I have used Flipboard forever, since Google Reader (RSS) was googlized. I agree that it's chock full of clickbait.. I use it in sort of a ritualistic form of reading the news, by sorting the articles into piles. So not only reading something, but also thinking about which piles would match the article.

I don't know of any other good link pages as dense as Hacker News. -Slashdot- (sigh)

There are individuals who post link blogs, but the ones I like best are rather sparse. So I'll just mention one, which I really like, that updates every six weeks or so:
