HN Consumption Habits

I have the RSS feed in Netvibes that I check during the day/evening. I don't read everything, just skim through the titles trying to find what seems interesting to me. And from this I mark as "to read later" every article that I like but is too long to read now or to be sure to come back for comments later.Then I also skim through the Ask HN/newest posts depending on the workload.You don't have to follow everything, read everything, just skim through the topic that interest you. Overtime y

recently hacker news simply replaced my rss reader. if there is something new that i may be interested in, i'm sure it will front-page here, so I let other people do the skimming for me.

Please do! My Issue is that I rarely want to actually read the articles, the discussions are usually much more interesting. Most hn aggregator sites have a ui that is focused on the articles not the comments. If i had a way to check a week in review hn one a weekend (or some other time) that would be amazing for my productivity;-)

I've been here 1184 days, and consume the majority of my online news from links on HN.It's always been like this.Like any social news site, you can never get content that perfectly suits what you want. When you start looking for content you think doesn't suit your tastes, you will find always find it.Nothing has changed.Vote up posts you think suit HN and ignore ones you don't.

You should subscribe to an HN RSS feed. A lot of articles that make it to the front page are flagged or deleted outright.

Sounds about like me. Except I mostly lurk in the comments. I keep HN as my home tab though, so every morning I scroll through top posts and look for what appeals to me. Generally articles that are either a) dumb, and then I regret reading them, or b) too technical or too long, so I save them to Pocket, and then never read them. (I do actually read some articles, it just seems like a majority of the time I save articles to read and then never get around to it)

I rarely read even the articles with interesting titles that make it to HN's front page.This is because when I did read more of them, they usually turned out to be a lot less interesting than the ensuing discussion on HN.So now I use the HN discussion as a proxy for article quality. In the HN discussion I can often find a good summary of the article and get a sense of whether the article is likely to be worth reading or not.Only maybe 1 out of 10 articles or less that I look interestin

Maybe you should read less HN if you are constantly seeking interesting stuff - there is never an end to internet surfing.Also, you might like a curated version of HN: https://hn.build-your-own.org/

Well consider HN frontpage during the past 24 hours. I like to read stories, and I dislike it when half of the stories cover the topic I've already read about a few times.I want to ignore the stuff I am not interested in, while being subscribed to the feed.

I read HN mostly via email newsletter and I'm interested in like 5% of the content, if I read one or two articles from newsletter it's good. The same as with other newsletters I'm subscribe for. Each social network has different content post by different people. If you merge all those places into one thing you can't keep up with the flood of post.I've once was subscribed to a few subreddits via RSS and I was not able to read even headlines and they were accumulation o
