With X, formerly Twitter, going the way it has, I find myself lacking spaces on the internet to scroll and learn things at the same time (besides this one.)
Where does HN spend their downtime on the internet?
Quora isn't horrible, but sadly it seems it's kind of intrusive from a privacy perspective. Still it has interesting insights on psychology and personal experiences, with people who enjoy writing. It's like an organized Q and A blog.
When you find interesting blog posts on HN, skim the other articles on the blog and if they seem interesting, subscribe to their RSS feeds.
For the Mac/iOS I use NetNewsWire. It syncs over iCloud and it’s free and open source.
I deleted my Reddit account last year after 8 years.
You could try the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link:
https://www.well.com
https://www.well.com/about-2/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_WELL> to scroll and learn things
Maybe you can approach this a bit differently, it sounds like you are looking for another place to waste your time without learning anything.
Learning doesn't happen by scrolling.
> aren't a waste of time
> spaces on the internet to scroll
These 2 are mutually exclusive ;)
Literally nothing public, unfortunately. I just got some private chats and slack groups where i interact in once in awhile.
Have you tried joining any relevant discord groups?
Read newspapers. Read about Philisophy and society. Look up data on national/local trends (national/local government usually have databasen). Educate yourself.
Lord knows the world need more of that in the coming years.
Setup an RSS feed.

Reddit is unusable
I've found very niche groups in Reddit to be huge sources of information, not even interrogating LLMs can possibly provide as much value. Though you will keep fighting Reddit's recommendations all day, every day.
