Ask HN: What are some other general link aggregators aside from HN?

I know of lobsters, reddit, and metafilter.

It's not like those you list as there's no voting, but I maintain https://engineeringblogs.xyz/ which is a river of links to posts on over 500 software engineering related blogs. There's an OPML file if you want to take the feeds into your own reader or you can submit feeds to add.

Oh, I also run https://rubyflow.com/ which is a MetaFilter-style linklog for the Ruby community, and somehow gets a fair few posts each day.

just a heads up, the link text for a post titled “ activerecord::Relation%23structurally_compatible?” is overflowing from its div and causing the page to scroll horizontally on iOS

That's nice! And customizable without an account!

Are you behind the project? I think I spotted a bug:

After hiding the "Popular" links, saving and returning, the "CUSTOMIZE POPURLS" button stops being clickable.

I can keep customizing it with the back button, though, so not a big deal... Anyway, I'm liking it, thanks!

heh... Years ago there was a site called "LinuxHomePage.[net?]" -- and it looked almost exactly like this, but it had content box-borders also...

I wonder if this is by the same guy... its literally identical and you could customize without an account...

https://www.fark.com/ still has snarky headlines and offbeat content but the selection of articles is quite varied, and the comment section still has quality content. Certainly better comments than the WSJ troll-fest.

https://sqwok.im is a topical aggregator with chatrooms built into every post.

Think of it like Twitter but with chat rooms instead async comments.

There's no voting and the focus is on science, tech, engineering, markets, hobbies, and culture.

marginalrevolution.com has daily curated links that are IMO, generally high-quality
