Outside of HN, Reddit, and Slashdot, what similar minded (or different) online discussion communities are you a part of? Just curious.

    I keep lists on Twitter. Twitter is bad because you're limited to 140 characters, but it's good because everyone else is limited to 140 characters.

    https://endless-sphere.com/forums/ - Enthusiasts forum for all electrical vehicles and technologies.

    I ride my electric bike to work everyday in Silicon Valley consistently beating google driving estimates by 10 minutes as I get to use the underused existing bike lanes while moving at around 30mph/50kph.

    None. Except for one Slack channel, which is directly derived from a subreddit.

    Used to go to a country-local gamedev forum, but the owner stopped caring and eventually the community started their own website. I still have a reminder each year for the domain expiry date although I can never catch it. My plan is to give it back to the community. Edit: went a bit off topic there didn't I.

    It's a decentralized social aggregator.

    http://www.crazyontap.com -- It was created to replace the off topic board of Joel on Software when it closed. A bunch of old programmers bitching about things.

    I discuss the ideas of others and mine on https://www.stomt.com

    youngstartups.io - It's a slack community for those under 25. As the name suggests, we talk about businesses, tech and...school

    Fastlane forum is pretty good - more entrepreneurship oriented.

    https://lobste.rs/ is very similar to HN, but it's invite-only. (If anyone reading this has an account there, I'd appreciate an invite! :P)

    http://firespotting.com/ uses the same Arc-based framework HN runs on, but is virtually unknown.
