Show HN: Top Links from Hacker News, Reddit, Techmeme, PH on a
Single Page
Hi HN, this is something I created for my personal use and I have
been using it daily for a long time now. It's a page that shows top
25 links from the sources mentioned in the title. Updates every 10
minutes through a cron job and new links are always added to the
top. Some more details: It's using simple heuristics like minimum
upvotes/comments to select the links. For techmeme, only the first
headline on techmeme.com is considered a top link. For reddit,
currently fetching content from only a select few subreddits. It's
just a simple page. No ad. No tracking. It's the first tab I open
in the morning. Suggestions and feedback are welcome. :)

| Thank you for sharing this work. I've now bookmarked your page. A
| few suggestions...
|
| Date and time displayed on each link
|
| Consider adding an RSS feed
|
| Consider (real edge case here) adding a plain text alternative
| with the origin Web site stated after each link (e.g. test using
| links or w3m in a terminal)

| thousands every day, that is no longer possible. Most
| participants will be strangers to each other.
|
| What few subreddits have survived this are either incredibly
| niche, or aggressively working to make new members lurk
| before they post.

| I think "common culture" is precisely the problem with
| reddit. Before reddit there were many different separate
| forums. Each had to be signed up to separately and each had
| their own culture. With reddit there's little barrier
| between reddits, which has lead to a shared culture across
| the whole site. The culture is generally friendly, but is
| immature and superficial. It's great for small-talk, but
| useless and frustrating if you actually want to learn
| something.
|
| Maybe I'm bitter, but I used to really enjoy r/rust up
| until 2 years ago or so. Now it's completely inane and it's
| no longer worth the time to sort through the noise to find
| the signal.
| marginalia_nu wrote:
| Right, when I say common culture I mean culture common to
| a specific subreddit. I don't think reddit as a whole has
| a common culture. It's like a train station and not like
| a village, everyone is always passing through.

| laputan_machine wrote:
| I think there are a few factors, but the biggest one I see is

|
| But, at the same time I think this has always been a problem,
| even 10 years ago the 'Reddit Hivemind' was a thing people
| spoke about. It's just worse now (because there are even more
| people using it, more bots reposting the same clickbait, more
| conglomeration of a few moderators owning several large subs)

| HN has a hivemind too believe it or not.
|
| Edit: would the hivemind care to stop upvoting this so I

| pokey00 wrote:

| the heavy-hivemind topics always have a couple of good
| "woah there..." meta comments, and unlike reddit, they
| don't get buried and disappeared for the most part.

| Reddit had a big shift recently when they had their mobile
| first redesign - it's made the website subjectively worse to HN
| types...and has massively increased its appeal. That, combined
| with the deep algorithmic shifts to the front page after the
| 2016 election cycle (when every other post was either a "give
| money to the Sanders Campaign" or "MAGA forever") has made it
| more difficult for deeper or more esoteric content to rise to
| the front page.
|
| That being said, I find that Reddit is like Twitter - if you
| take the time to curate and cultivate your subreddits, you can
| have a very good experience there. The best of Reddit is the
| small subreddits that fit your niche and your communities.
| dt2m wrote:
| It really started sucking after the redesign, IMO. But who can

| rjh29 wrote:
| The frontpage is pretty bad. In my experience smaller

| Yeah, public reddit is terrible, but make an account,

| onebag, Ultralight, walkablecities, cozy_places,
| artisanvideos, relationship_advice, bestof,
