What sites do you know of that teenagers can read a vast range of important and interesting topics and that also have intelligent and interesting communities around them?

At first I thought you meant twitter, I definitely wouldn't want my kids on twitter these days

I've visiting communities like HN since I was less than 10, in BBS.

With such framing I'm tempted to say TikTok.

I’m an old, but if I was in that demographic I would probably launch a Discord space (or tenant or server or whatever they call it in Discord parlance).

Slack could be an alternative. Not sure if teens are used to that though? Perhaps Matrix could be another alternative, but the UX there can be quite confusing IMHO.

Some subreddits ?

Why can't the teenagers read the same things the adults do?

I guess hn is suitable for teenagers as well.
