news.ycombinator.com

I know of lobsters, reddit, and metafilter.

http://lemmy.ml is a federated libre source link aggegator built on Rust ( https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy )

gerikson• 5 years ago

Lobste.rs isn't a general link aggregator, anything not related to computing gets booted quickly: https://lobste.rs/moderations

happytoexplain• 5 years ago

Presumably the OP is OK with tech-leaning suggestions, as they gave HN as an example.

https://icebergcharts.com, at least the linked ones

vosper• 5 years ago

I but understand that site at all. What am I missing?

73737373732• 5 years ago

Iceberg Charts are an information format in which an image is divided into tiers and things are sorted into this structure by how well known they are, with the most popular entries at the top and the truly obscure at the bottom.
This makes them an interesting structure to share ones' interests and explore and learn more about topics one isn't too familiar with.

Facebook, Apple, and Google are in almost every link I saw.

http://popurls.com

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!

woodgrainz2• 5 years ago

I have no relation to the project. It's a very popular site.

wintermutestwin• 5 years ago

Nice looking site, but it doesn't load in https for me?

samstave• 5 years ago

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...

lostqubit• 5 years ago

This is only adjacent to what you've asked for, but I wrote an RSS aggregator with an HN-like UI awhile back.

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

chrisweekly3• 5 years ago

A couple venerable pillars:

https://news.slashdot.org https://boingboing.net

ramraj073• 5 years ago

Have you visited boing boing in the last few years? It’s literal cancer.

MerelyMortal2• 5 years ago

I used to visit it regularly until about a decade ago, but I felt too many of the posts were unnecessarily getting too political.

chrisweekly3• 5 years ago

wtf is wrong with you. Do you know anyone with literal cancer? Use different words.

chrisweekly3• 5 years ago

Also fark.com and drudgereport.com

... and for the record, per the OP's request, these are examples of news aggregation sites, not necessarily recommendations.

clueless• 5 years ago

old school but still some of the best

https://www.metafilter.com/

MrsPeaches• 5 years ago

Arts and Letters Daily is a nice curated list if you are looking for something a little more arts focused: https://www.aldaily.com/

I_complete_me• 5 years ago

This was my favourite website waay before the 'internet' happened!

rosgoo• 5 years ago

https://unfeeder.com/ is pretty good.

stanislavb• 5 years ago

Do you know how it works/collects the links?

lcnmrn• 5 years ago

As the name implies, it takes feeds and brings the best from them to surface. Every click on article links counts as vote from a unique IP address.

It's created by me. I enjoy the read view on Unfeeder for long articles. I don't longer use or need a feed reader since I created it.

gao8a• 5 years ago

i like hackaday.io but maybe thats too specific

ship3x• 5 years ago

If you want shipping news: https://www.shipshipship.uk/

petercooper• 5 years ago

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.

peanut_worm• 5 years ago

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

schappim• 5 years ago

You wouldn't happen to want to sell RubyFlow to someone who will give it the TLC it needs. I find it regularly has low quality articles (https://rubyflow.com/p/ieouvb-job-scheduling-with-resque-in-...) and often downright spam :-(

https://news.python.sc for Python stuff

jakedata• 5 years ago

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.

holler• 5 years ago

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.
