Hi,
IndieFeeds is a HN clone, where submissions come from personal websites only. For now I add feeds manually while reading HN. If I see submission coming from personal website I check if it uses RSS and in case it does, I add it to IndieFeeds.com. So now HN works as a filter of content for IndieFeeds :).
Site is probably lacking some functionality, but for now I wanted to share it with you and see what you think about this idea.<p>Besides that I love concept of RSS, so wanted to play with it :)
For folks curious about this space there's also the (very small) IndieNews, which allows publishers to submit links using webmentions:<p><a href="https://news.indieweb.org/" rel="nofollow">https://news.indieweb.org/</a>
Which voting algorithm are you using?
I recently wrote an article about that topic and working on part 2:

Very nice. I think you need to decide what is the main point of your site. is it an alternative way to read HN? Is is a curated edition of HN? or is it going to be something on its own eventually, and HN is only a method to jump start it?
