sic VS Lobsters

I've written an AGPLv3 no-js link aggregator with tags in Django/sqlite3 which I self host at https://sic.pm but without an active user base. You can self host it for your own community however: https://github.com/epilys/sic

I wrote a dependency tree python3 library to make your own NNTP servers:

https://pypi.org/project/nntpserver/0.0.3/

https://github.com/epilys/nntpserver.py

It's used in my link aggregator forum, https://sic.pm/ which also has a mailing list bridge functionality.

As a demo, I have implemented a HN mirror on NNTP: (quoting README.md)

hnnntp.py querying news.ycombinator.com (hackernews) API and caching results in an sqlite3 database. A public instance might be online at nessuent.xyz:564 (TLS only)

Git repo is here

var req2 = http.GetStringAsync("https://lobste.rs");

"I actually wish we had a hacker community like this without the business/startup side at all"

Sounds like you want https://lobste.rs

Well, there's https://lobste.rs/, or we could all go back to slashdot I guess

Requesting https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters as I'm going through that codebase and would be able to provide feedback. cheers

ps. just gonna second everyone else who's saying being able to edit out incorrect data is very important, otherwise people are gonna be weary of reading repos they aren't already familiar with.

> Hacker News, but also lobster.rs

First time I hear about it. I think you meant https://lobste.rs
