news/aggregators/
laarc
https://laarc.io/a self-hosted version of hacker news. this place is very small and very inactive, but occasionally something interesting will pop up here.
lobsters
https://lobste.rs/my favorite aggregator. lobsters has a focus on tech, and there's always stuff here that i enjoy. the discussions are also nice. it's also active enough that i can come back every couple days and have lots of stuff to enjoy.
hacker news
https://news.ycombinator.com/the most active and popular aggregator on this list. honestly, this place is okay-ish. most stuff here i can also find elsewhere, and i'm not extremely interested in everything this place has to offer. it's here if you want it though.
tildenews
https://tilde.news/a self-hosted version of lobsters for the tilde community. there's some cool stuff here. it's kinda inactive, but occassionally things will pop up that strike my attention.
