Ask HN: Which other similar to HN communities are you a member of?

Similar is a mite ambiguous, but I guess you mean somewhat similar communities rather than Reddit-like interface.<p>Three I really care about: Advogato, Lambda the Ultimate and the new Tex Stack Exchange.<p>Stack Overflow isn't a community anymore, but I still go there a few times a week and see what's happened on the tags I care about. I've got a Linked In account: the forums there are weird; the German-centric Xing is better, but not hugely - the advantage of these is that they are easy to keep up with. I checkout Slashdot every month or so, and am not really sure why I bother.<p>I subscribe to a few mailing lists, but I spend much less time with them than I did six or seven years ago. They feel more a like an obligation that a community, to be honest. I'm a bit bothered about that, since mailing lists are much easier to archive than anything else: internet communities are becoming more transitory in so many ways.

Used to haunt Wickedfire a lot. Not so much recently though. Not sure if AskMetafilter counts, but I've been there for years and love the community.

NuclearPhynance, the phorum for sharp, rich, laconic quant bastards who drink too much. HN is like 4chan compared to it.

Reddit, and some mailing lists (altough Reddit serves me only for the laughts - the mailing lists are far more useful)
